Mc Swanson _. Page 3 of 4 PA-0700012(SA) measure selected should be implemented to the fullest extent possible. The suggestions listed below should not be considered all-inclusive and are options that the agency with the land-use authority should consider for incorporation into the project. Large canopy trees should be carefully selected and located to protect the building from energy consuming environmental conditions, and to shade 50% of paved areas within 15 years. Also, trees should be planted adjacent to all sidewalks thirty foot on center and at a ratio of one tree for each five parking spaces. Structural soil should be used under paved areas to improve tree growth. For more information see Nww.hort.cornell.edu/uhi/outreach/csc/, www.ufei.orq/, www.coolcommunities.org , A,ww.lqc.org/bookstore/energy/downloads/s*v treeguidelines.pdf, and Amm.fs.fed.us/psw/programs/cufr/ If transit service is available to the project site, improvements should be made to encourage its use. If transit service is not currently available, but is planned for the area in the future, easements should be reserved to provide for future improvements such as bus turnouts, loading areas, route signs and shade structures. As many energy conserving and emission reducing features as possible should be included in the project. Energy conservation measures include both energy conservation through design and operational energy conservation. Examples include (but are not limited to): Increased energy efficiency (above California Title 24 Requirements); energy efficient windows, lighting, appliances, and heating/cooling systems-, programmable thermostats. For more information see www.energy.ca.gov/title24/ and www. enerqystar.gov/. Use Low and No-VOC coatings and paints. For more information see South Coast's site for No-VOC Coatings at www.agmd.gov/prdas/brochures/paintguide.htmi. High-albedo (reflecting) rooting material. For more information see http://eetd.

Awnings or other shading mechanism for windows and walkway overhangs Ceiling fans Utilize day lighting (natural lighting) systems such as skylights, light shelves, interior transom windows etc. For more information see www.advancedbuildings.org . Electrical outlets around the exterior to encourage use of electric landscape maintenance equipment Construct paths to connect the development to nearby bikeways or sidewalks.

On-site employee eating areas 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/GreenBuiWiDg/, www.lgc.org/, www.sustainable.doe.gov/, and www.consumerenergycenter.orq/index.html.
