HackaThon Challenge

Challenge:  

Our hackathon will seek to expand the functionality of digital permitting systems by leveraging the lessons learned in developing the DOE sponsored residential solar online SolarApp and implemented under California Senate Bill 379.

Goal:  

Accelerate the processing of building permits by expanding online permitting for all building permits, that incorporates the solar component utilizing SolarApp.

Improve access to innovative financial products and services for finance, insurance and surety made possible by the digital ecosystem based on XBRL.

How: 

Leverage and align with other similar data initiatives that seek to enable next generation infrastructure; California AB-1037 Infrastructure construction - digital construction management technologies, Caltrans BIM for Infrastructure (BIM4I), DOT Accelerating Advanced Digital Construction Management Systems program, DOE Orange Button, Solar and SBA XBRL Initiatives and DOGE Section Four.

Background: 

The Orange Button was part of the DOE SunShot program and the Smart Grid Interoperability Panel - Priority Action Plan 25 (SGIP PAP25) which expanded the XBRL taxonomy with data elements for next generation infrastructure.
