Evanston's Healthy Buildings Ordinance is set to require around 500 buildings larger than 20,000 square feet to meet staggered energy use and efficiency benchmarks until they reach zero emissions by 2050. “What we don’t want is for Evanston to be viewed as this really onerous city where it’s difficult to hurdle all of the bureaucratic red tape and all these requirements,” spokesman Baxter Swilley said.
