Kathy Alen `� ..r June 13, 2006 PA-0600228(SA);Pace Supply Corp.;4015 N. Newton Rd.;APN 132-070-06 Page 3 - Increased energy efficiency(above California Title 24 Requirements) See http://www.energy.ca.gov/title24/. - Energy efficient widows (double pane and/or Low-E), lighting, appliances, and heating and cooling systems. See htto://www.energvstar.gov/ - Programmable thermostats for all heating and cooling systems - Use Low and No-VOC coatings and paints. See South Coast's site for No-VOC Coatings at http://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/Proiects/CoolHouston/ and http://eande.lbl.gov/heatisland/ - Radiant heat barrier. See http://www.eere.energy.gov/consumerinfo/refbriefs/bc7.html - Features to promote energy self-sufficiency (solar water-heating systems, photovoltaic cells, solar thermal electricity systems, small wind turbines, etc.) Rebate and incentive programs are offered for alternative energy equipment. See http://www.dsireusa.org , http://rredc.nrel.gov/, and hftp://www.energy.ca.gov/renewables/ - Install geothermal heat pump system(s) - Awnings or other shading mechanism for windows - Porch, patio and walkway overhangs - Utilize passive solar cooling and heating designs. (e.g. natural convection, thermal flywheels) See http://www.eere.energy.00v/RE/solar passive.html - Utilize daylighting (natural lighting) systems such as skylights, light shelves, interior transom windows etc. See http://www.advancedbuildings.orq - On-site employee cafeterias or eating areas. - Reducing the amount of single occupancy vehicle visitor traffic to and from the project (bicycle parking facilities for patrons and employees in a covered secure area, reducing parking spot supply, implementing parking charges) More information can be found at http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/GreenBuildin_q , http://www.lgc.org, http://www.sustainable.doe.gov/, and http://www.consumerenergycenter.org/index.html • 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 www.vallevair.org • Light Duty Cars and Trucks should be alternative fueled or hybrids. • Construction activity mitigation measures include: Limit area subject to excavation, grading, and other construction activity at any one time Limit the hours of operation of heavy duty equipment and/or the amount of equipment in use Replace fossil-fueled equipment with electrically driven equivalents (provided they are not run via a portable generator set) Require that all diesel engines be shut off when not in use to reduce emissions from idling. Curtail construction during periods of high ambient pollutant concentrations; this may include ceasing of construction activity during the peak-hour of vehicular traffic on adjacent roadways, and "Spare the Air Days"declared by the District. Implement activity management(e.g. rescheduling activities to reduce short-term impacts) During the smog season (May through October), lengthen the construction period to minimize the number of vehicles and equipment operating at the same time. Off road trucks should be equipped with on-road engines when possible. Minimize obstruction of traffic on adjacent roadways.
