Please note that some of these measures may already exist as County <br /> development standards. <br /> ♦ Energy efficient design including automated control system for heating/air <br /> conditioning and energy efficiency beyond Title 24 requirements, lighting controls <br /> and energy-efficient lighting in buildings, increased insulation beyond Title 24 <br /> requirements, and light colored roof materials to reflect heat. <br /> ♦ Planting of deciduous trees on the south and westerly facing sides of buildings. <br /> ♦ Provide low nitrogen oxide (NOx) emitting and/or high efficiency water heaters. <br /> If transit service is available to the project site, improvements should be made to <br /> encourage residents to use it. If transit service is not currently available, but is <br /> planned for the future, appropriate easements should be reserved to provide for <br /> future improvements such as bus turnouts, loading areas, and shelters. <br /> ♦ Sidewalks and bikepaths should be installed throughout as much of the project as <br /> possible and should be connected to any nearby open space areas, parks, schools, <br /> commercial areas, etc. <br /> ♦ Natural gas lines and electrical outlets (if available) should be installed in patio areas <br /> to encourage the use of gas and/or electric barbecues. <br />
