For more information see hftp://eetd.Ibi.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 www.harc.edu/harc/Prolects/Coo]Houston/ and http://eande.lbi.gov/heatislandl. • Radiant heat barrier. See www.eere.energy.govlconsumerinfo/`rdfbriefs/bc7.htmi. ` • Awnings or other shading. mechanism for"windows and.walkway overhangs • Electrical outlets around the exterior of the units to encourage use of electric landscape maintenance equipment • Exits to adjoining streets should be designed to reduce time to re-enter traffic from the project site • More information can be found at www.ciwmb.ca.gov/Gre,enBuildingl, ,Igc.orgl, www.sustainable.doe.gov/, and www.consumerenergycenter.org/index.htmi. The applicant/tenant(s) should implement measures to reduce the.-amount of single occupancy vehicle employee 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 through preferential parking .spaces for employees who participate in carpooling or vanpooling, incorporating a compressed workweek schedule, guaranteed ride home, carpool matching programs, shower/changing facilities, providing free transit passes, providing an alternative-transit information center, and having a dedicated employee transportation coordinator. Check out the "Spare the Air' section of our website at www.valleyair.orci/. Y Idle reduction technologies save fuel and reduce diesel emissions from idling trucks and construction equipment. The -applicant should incorporate idle reduction strategies that reduce the main propulsion engine idling time through alternative technologies. Examples of such technologies can be found on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's website www.epa.govlotaglsmartway/idlingtechnologies,htm. Idle reduction mi+igation measures-include: _ Require that all diesel engines be shut off when not in use to reduce emissions from idling. • If Truck Refrigeration Units (TRU's) will be utilized, provide an alternative energy t source for the TRU to allow diesel engines to be completely turned off. Electrify truck-parking areas to allow trucks with sleeper cabs to use electric heating and cooling to eliminate the need to idle their diesel engines. � Construction activity mitigation measures include: Limit area subjeot to excavation, grading, and other construction activity at'any one time , 7
