Ms.Allen V August 3,2005 PA-0500468(SA) Page 3 - Use Low and No-VOC coatings and paints. See South Coast's site for No-VOC Coatings at hftp://www.aqmd.gov/prdas/brochures/paintguide.html - High-albedo (reflecting)roofing material. See http://eetd.lbi.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/Projects/Cool Houston/ , http://eande.lbi.govlheatisland/ - Radiant heat barrier. See http://www.eere.energy.gov/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.energy.gov/RE/solar'l)assive.htmi - 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 landscape maintenance equipment - Bicycle parking facilities in a covered secure area. See http://www.bicyclinginfo.org/ - Employee shower and locker areas for bicycle and pedestrian commuters - On-site employee cafeterias or eating areas - Low or non-polluting landscape maintenance equipment (e.g. electric lawn mowers, reel mowers, leaf vacuums, electric trimmers and edgers, etc.) - 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.ciwmb.ca,gov/GreenBuilding/ http://www.lgc.org, http://www.sustainable.doe.gov/, http://www.consumerenergycenter.org/index.html • 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.orq/, http://rredc.nrel.gov/, http://www.energy.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/altdiesel/altd iesel.htm and the EPA's website http://www.epa.goy/oms/models/biodsl.htm. • Light Duty Cars and Trucks should be alternative fueled or hybrids. • Construction activity mitigation measures include: - Install sandbags or other erosion control measures to prevent silt runoff to public roadways from sites with a slope greater than one percent
