There <br /> are a number of features that could be incorporated into the design/operation of this <br /> project to provide additional reductions of the overall level of emissions. (Note: Some <br /> of the measures may already exist as San Joaquin County development standards. <br /> Any measure selected should be implemented to the fullest extent possible.) The <br /> suggestions listed below should not be considered all-inclusive and remain options <br /> that the agency with the land-use authority should consider for incorporation into the <br /> project. <br /> Large canopy trees should be carefully selected and located to protect the building(s) <br /> from energy consuming environmental conditions, and to shade 50% of paved areas <br /> within 15 years. Also, trees should be planted adjacent to all sidewalks thirty foot on <br /> center and at a ratio of one tree for each five parking spaces. Structural soil should be <br /> used under paved areas to improve tree growth. For more information see <br /> www.hort.cornell.edu/uhi/outreach/csc/, www.ufei.org/, www.coolcommunities.org/, <br /> www.lgc.org/bookstore/energy/downloads/sjv tree quidelines.pdf, and nnM .fs.fed.us/ <br /> psw/programs/cufr/ <br /> As many energy conserving and emission reducing features as possible should be <br /> included in the project. Energy conservation measures include both energy <br /> conservation through design and operational energy conservation. Examples include <br /> (but are not limited to): <br /> Use Low and No-VOC coatings and paints. For more information see South <br /> Coast's site for No-VOC Coatings at www.agmd._qov/prdas/ <br /> brochures/paintguide.html. <br /> High-albedo (reflecting) roofing material. For more information see <br /> hftp://eetd.Ibl.gov/000lroof/. <br /> Cool Paving. "Heat islands" created by this and similar projects contribute to the <br /> reduced air quality in the valley by heating ozone precursors. See <br /> www.harc.edu/harc/Projects/CoolHouston/ and http://eande.lbl.gov/heatisland/. <br /> Awnings or other shading mechanism for windows and walkway overhangs <br /> Construct paths to connect the development to nearby bikeways or sidewalks. For <br /> more information see www.vtpi.org/tdm/tdm85.htm and www.bicVclinginfo.org/. <br /> Reducing the amount of single occupancy vehicle visitor traffic to and from the <br /> project (bicycle parking facilities for patrons and employees in a covered secure <br /> area, reducing parking spot supply, implementing parking charges) <br /> Employee shower and locker areas for bicycle and pedestrian commuters <br /> On-site employee cafeterias or eating areas <br /> Exits to adjoining streets should be designed to reduce time to re-enter traffic from <br /> the project site <br />
