    Hi David, re Gateway and form based code; This company is located in Windsor CA and is receiving recognition for “scalable, beyond-zero-carbon framing system that is custom prefabricated to millimeter accuracy and code-compliant up to five stories. “
    Can the form based code include incentives for low carbon building systems in addition to requiring compliance with Title‐24 energy code ? We were highly interested in and impressed by this company and wall system for our project on Western Ave, but turn
    around time was too lengthy. BamCore incorporates carbon sequestration, sustainability, energy efficiency, social responsibility, and reduced waste in construction ‐ so many positives.
    Is there a category under development in the Gateway form based code system that would incentivize use of building
    systems that can demonstrate benefits like this one?
    Thanks,
    Glen Colwell
