! 1 Ms. King Page 4 of 5 PA-0700082(SA) 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 N Requirements); For more . information see www.ener-gy.ca.Oov/title24/and www. eneLgystar.gov/. Use Low and N.o-VOC coatings and paints.. For more information see South Coast's site for No-VOC Coatings at www.aqmd.gov/prdas/brochures/paintguide.html. High-albedo (reflecting) roofing material. For more information see htta://eetd. lbi.gov/coolroof/. Cool Paving. "Heat islands" created by this and similar projects contribute to the I reduced air quality in . the valley by heating ozone precursors. See www.hart.edu/hart/Projects/CoolHouston/ and http://eande.lbl.gov/heatisland/. Features to promote energy self-sufficiency For more information see www.energy.ca.gov/renewables/, www.dsireusa.orgl, and hftp://rredd.nrel.gov/. Awnings or other shading mechanism for windows and walkway overhangs Electrical outlets around the exterior of the unit(s) to encourage use of electric landscape maintenance equipment More information can be found at www.ciwmb.ca._qov/GreenBu ftin1, www.lgc.org/, www.sustainable,doe.govl, and www.con sumereneravicenter.orq/index.htm1. 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. The applicant should install equipment that provides amenities that would otherwise be powered by idling engines. An example of such technology includes IdleAire. See www.idleaire.com/. 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 r 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.
