Proposers must demonstrate: (1) How the project will generate interest in and demand for the construction of low carbon and climate-resilient advanced clean energy buildings (2) Commitment to share information related to the projects design, costs, and performance, which is expected to support decision making processes employed to achieve the desired outcomes (3) Architectural and urban design quality and innovation.
