4.1 – Air Quality <br />Draft Environmental Impact Report February 2021 <br />14800 W. Schulte Road Logistics Center 4.1-27 <br />PDF-AQ/GHG-1 The buildings shall be designed to achieve a minimum the Leadership in Energy and Environmental <br />Design (LEED) Certified goal identified by the LEED Green Building Rating System to conserve <br />resources, including energy and renewable resources. <br />PDF-AQ/GHG-2 Install 2%–3% skylights in warehouse buildings for natural lighting and to reduce electricity <br />consumption from warehouse lighting. <br />PDF-AQ/GHG-3 Install conduit for future electric truck charging capabilities. <br />PDF-AQ/GHG-4 Install conduit for 33 future electric vehicle charging spaces. <br />PDF-AQ/GHG-5 Designate 21 parking spaces for clean air/electric vehicle/vanpool parking. <br />Construction <br />Emissions from the construction phase of the Project were estimated using California Emissions Estimator Model <br />(CalEEMod) Version 2016.3.2. Construction scenario assumptions, including phasing, equipment mix, and vehicle <br />trips, were based on information provided by the Project applicant and CalEEMod default values when Project <br />specifics were not known. For purposes of estimating Project emissions, and based on information provided by the <br />Project applicant, it is assumed that construction of the Project would commence in July 20217 and would last <br />approximately 10 months, ending in April 2022. The analysis contained herein is based on the following <br />assumptions (duration of phases is approximate): <br />• Site Preparation: 2 weeks (July 1, 2021 – July 15, 2021) <br />• Grading: 1 month (July 16, 2021 – August 31, 2021) <br />• Building Construction: 7 months (September 1, 2021 – March 30, 2022) <br />• Paving: 1 month (April 1, 2022– April 30, 2022) <br />• Architectural Coating: 3 months (February 1, 2022 – April 30, 2022) <br />Grading would involve 37.47 acres and balanced cut and fill. The construction equipment mix and vehicle trips <br />used for estimating the Project-generated construction emissions are shown in Table 4.1-6. <br />Table 4.1-6.
