Energy Policy and Regulations Report: Price City, Utah. Final Report

摘要

The US Department of Energy and the Utah Energy Office have participated in the review of energy policies and regulations in certain Utah municipalities and in particular have provided funds for Price City to analyze its own existing policies and regulations and make technical recommendations for study and adoption in the City Master Plan and Land Development Code. This report is submitted as a basis for preparing the necessary documents for amending the City Master Plan and Land Development Code. Two major goals can thus be achieved: (1) provide a procedure for allowing modifications of and variances for existing buildings to take advantage of solar energy design and components, and (2) provide a procedure and standards for guiding new development design to incorporate energy conservation elements. The object is not to inconvenience residents and developers with more regulations, but to allow and encourage them to maximize the utilization of renewable energy sources, conserve energy from non-renewable sources, and accrue the resultant savings and comfort.
