Cap building energy consumption for different building types on a per occupant basis NOT area
There is no use in capping annual energy consumption on a per area basis if we continue building larger buildings. If we want to effectively limit total energy use, let's do it on a per occupant basis (i.e. kWh per building occupant).

Will move toward outcomes based codes which will take area and occupancy into account. This idea is included in the Draft Greenest City Action Plan.
