Ms. Hayes — — July 27, 2005 PA-0500396 Page 3 See http://www.energy.ca.gov/title24/. - Energy efficient widows (double pane and/or Low-E) - Use Low and No-VOC coatings and paints. See South Coast's site for No-VOC Coatings at htti)://www,aqmd.gov/prdas/brochures/paintguide.html - High-albedo (reflecting) roofing material. See http://eetd.lbl.gov/coolroof/ - Cool Paving. "Heat islands" created by this and similar projects contribute to the reduced air quality in the valley by heating ozone precursors. See http://www.harc.edu/harc/Proiects/Cool Houston/ , http://eande.lbl.gov/heatisland/ - Radiant heat barrier. See http://www.eere.energy.oov/consumerinfo/refbriefs/bc7.htmi - Energy efficient lighting, appliances, heating and cooling systems. See http://www.energystar.goy/ - Install solar water-heating system(s) - Install photovoltaic cells - Programmable thermostat(s)for all heating and cooling systems - Awnings or other shading mechanism for windows - Patio and walkway overhangs - Ceiling fans - Utilize passive solar cooling and heating designs. (e.g. natural convection, thermal flywheels) See http://www.eere.enerov.gov/RE/solar passive.html - Utilize daylighting (natural lighting) systems such as skylights, light shelves, interior transom windows etc. See http://www.advancedbuildings.org - Electrical outlets around the exterior of the unit(s) to encourage use of electric maintenance equipment - On-site employee eating areas - Pre-wire the unit(s)with high speed modem connections/DSL and extra phone lines - Exits to adjoining streets should be designed to reduce time to re-enter traffic from the project site More information can be found at: http://www.lgc.org, http://www.sustainable.doe.gov/, http://www.consumerenergvicenter.ora/index.html, http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/GreenBuilding/ • The applicantttenant(s) should implement measures to reduce the amount of vehicle traffic to and from the project area that further reduce air pollution in the valley. This could include such provisions as encouraging employees to rideshare or carpool to the project site, preferential parking spaces for employees who participate in carpooling or vanpooling, incorporating a compressed workweek schedule, or incentives for employees who use alternative transportation. Check out the "Spare the Air'section of our website www.valleyair.org • The project should include as many clean alternative energy features as possible to promote energy self-sufficiency. Examples include (but are not limited to): photovoltaic cells, solar thermal electricity systems, small wind turbines, etc. Rebate and incentive programs are offered for alternative energy equipment. More information can found at- http://www.dsireusa.ora/, http://rredc.nrel.gov/, http://www.eneroy.ca.gov/renewables/ • The applicant/tenant(s) should require that all diesel engines be shut off when not in use on the premises to reduce emissions from idling. • Diesel equipment should use verified alternative diesel fuel blends, biodiesel, or Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD). The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has verified specific alternative diesel fuel blends for NOx and PM emission reduction. Only biodiesels that have been certified by CARB should be used. For more information on biodiesel, please call Mr. Chris Acree, Air Quality Specialist, at (559) 230-5829. Information on biodiesel can also be found at CARB's website- http://www.arb.ca.gov/fuels/diesel/altd iesel/altd iesel.htm and the EPA's website http://www,epa.gov/oms/models/biodsl.htm. • Light Duty Cars and Trucks should be alternative fueled or hybrids.
