Full Question: Are there clean energy zoning requirements / incentives in place for the areas where the buildings cited as industry best practices (Boston Landmark, Cambridge Binney Street, and Boston Fenway II) are located? If so, are these requirements / incentives the same as what is proposed in Article 17?

Answer: Boston and Cambridge both have comprehensive Net Zero/Zero Carbon building assessment requirements. Neither have zoning incentives that allow for increased height or density with any specific emission-reducing/hybrid design requirement as in this Article.
