• Explore opportunities and approaches that would encourage developers to invest in energy network-ready buildings, and building-scale energy plants designed to share energy with neighbouring buildings.

• Potential for future large-scale institutional/industrial developments to act as anchor location for a district energy network.

4) Resilience to climate change and other disruptions

• Explore opportunities to strengthen resilience to power outages in multi-unit residential buildings, including, but not limited to: Powering additional loads such as domestic water pumps and elevators; Creating refuge areas; Backup power systems designed for at least 72 hours of continuous operation.

• Identify and designate community reception centres within the SSPD.

5) Low-carbon transportation

• In accordance with direction emerging through the City of Windsor Active Transportation Masterplan, encourage transit-supportive development and complete streets with high-quality pedestrian and cycling amenities to reduce reliance on the personal automobile;

• Provide the necessary infrastructure and space allocation in buildings to support electric personal vehicles and car sharing fleets.

6) Water and wastewater

• Encourage high levels of water conservation through low-flow fixtures and water efficient appliances.

• Explore opportunities for grey water recycling systems within buildings to avoid using high quality and energy intensive drinking water for non-potable purposes (e.g. toilets flushing irrigation, etc.).

• Explore opportunities for heat exchange with water infrastructure, including heat exchange with water supply mains and pumping stations, as well as heat recovery from sewage pumping stations, sewer lines, and buildings drains. This recovered waste heat can be utilized within the district energy network to further reduce GHG from heating/cooling.

7) Solid waste

• Encourage highest levels of solid waste diversion including strategies in moving towards a circular economy.

8) Innovation

• Due to the long-range nature of the SSPD, ensure continued flexibility such that innovations and emerging technologies, at the building, block,
