Over the last several years prices of urban housing have increased dramatically, despite the recent slow down in the economy. Subsequently, a substantial amount of people within metropolitan areas has begun to return to the city to live. This has created a shortage of multi -family housing along with an upward surge of housing prices. This pattern remains the same in South Florida where there continues to be an increased demand for housing, particularly in Miami -Dade County. (d) A description of proposed energy conservation measures shall be provided, including only those measures that are proposed in addition to the minimum requirements in State Energy Code. Architecturally, the building envelope will be comprised of insulated walls and roof. Tinted glass will be used throughout the building.
