Jr Ms. Gillian V r PA-0500436 July 29, 2005 Page 3 • 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) See htttp;//www.energy.ca.gov/title24/. - Energy efficient widows (double pane and/or Low-E) - Use Low and No-VOC coatings and paints. See South Coast's site for No-VOC Coatings at http://www.agmd.gov/business/brochures/zerovoc.htmI - High-albedo (reflecting) roofing material. See.http://eetd.lbl.govlcoolroof/ - Cool Paving. "Heat islands" created by this and similar projects contribute to the reduced air quality in the valley by heating ozone precursors. See htp:/1www.harc.edu/harc/Proigcts/Cool Houston/, http://eande.ibl.gov/heatisland/ - Radiant heat barrier. "'-- - Energy efficient lighting, appliances, heating and cooling systems. See http://www.energvstar.gov/ - Install solar water-heating system(s) - Install photovoltaic cells - Install geothermal heat pump system(s) - Programmable thermostat(s)for all heating and cooling systems - Awnings or other shading mechanism for windows Porch, patio and walkway overhangs Ceiling fans, whole house fans Utilize passive solar cooling and heating designs. (e.g. natural convection, thermal flywheels) See http://www.eere.energy..qov/RE/solar passive.html - Utilize daylighting (natural lighting) systems such as skylights, light shelves, interior transom windows etc. See bLtp:/Iwww,advancedbuildin-gs.org - Electrical outlets around the exterior of the unit(s) to encourage use of electric landscape maintenance equipment - Pre-wire the unit(s)with high speed modem connections/DSL and extra phone limes - Natural gas fireplaces (instead of wood-burning fireplaces or heaters) - Natural gas lines (if available to this area) and electrical outlets in backyard or patio areas to encourage the use of gas and/or electric barbecues - Low or non-polluting incentives items should be provided with each residential unit (such items could include electric lawn mowers, reel mowers, leaf vacuums, gas or electric barbecues, etc.) - Exits to adjoining streets should be designed to reduce time to re-enter traffic from the project site More information can be found at: http://www.lgc.org, http://www.sustainable..doe.govl, http://www.consumerenergvicenter.org/index.htm1, httj2://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/GreenBuildin-q/ v/GreenBuilding/ • The project should include as many clean alternative energy features as possible to promote energy self-sufficiency. Examples include (but are not limited to): photovoltaic cells, solar thermal electricity systems, small wind turbines, etc. Rebate and incentive programs are offered for alternative energy equipment.
