I. Planning and Design - based on Chapter 4 of the 2007 CGBSC
The provisions of this chapter outline planning, design and development methods that include
environmentally responsible site selection, building design, building siting and development to
protect, restore, and enhance the environmental quality of the site and respect the integrity of
adjacent properties.
A. Site Design
1 Highly-Developed Building Envelope
Description:
Utilize passive solar concepts that develop energy conservation and savings beyond Title
24 Standards. Building orientation benefits passive strategies that create designs that
augment eastern facing morning heat gain and reduce.,oflemoon heat gain.
Application:
Applicable to all new construction, remodels, anop clitions.
Benefit:
Energy, sustainability and resource protection
natural resources and foreign intervention,,! ;!
Resources:
- California Green Building Standards

LEED POINTS
Description:
Through careful planning and construction practices, valuable trees and plants can be
preserved in existing developments.
Application:
Complete a landscape survey to determine the feasibility of preserving or relocating
mature trees and shrubs. Fence off trees and shrubs for protection from equipment.
Benefit:
Preserving existing, mature landscape features helps prevent soil erosion, maintains
existing sources of natural cooling (e.g. shade from a mature tree), diverts waste from
landfills, and keeps the unique character of the community.

4. Implement Construction Site Stormwater Practices
Description:
Stormwater runoff is part of a natural hydrologic process„ However, land development
and construction activities can significantly alter natur€if.drainage patterns and pollute
stormwater runoff.
Application:
Identify all storm drains, drainage swales and creeks located on or near the construction
site, and make sure all subcontractors are aware of their locations to prevent pollutants
from entering them. Train employees not,ta'dump anything down storm drains. Protect
all storm drain inlets using filter fabric clafhto prevent sediment from entering the storm
drainage system during construction ci fidAties. Keep materials 6TiVbf the rain, and
prevent runoff pollution at the source Stbrehazardouswaste in drd ", f ,and covered bins
t
and contract a company to dispose of it pri?}perly.
If a Water Quality Managernent;Plan (WQMP) wpSapproved in contuncfrbn with the
construction project, obtain a cots ;.and keep Atte;throughout construction. Ensure
that subcontractors and employeei -6 aware of tt v. , QMP's requirements as many of
them are conditions of approval- and /or cuponcy.

Use permeab1 r vin _t jich allows water to percolate into the soil, for walkways,
patios, and drive -oft ,; ftfall like conventional pavers. Design infiltration basins, swales
and berms to keel*' er on site.
Benefit:
Allowing stormwater percolation reduces the volume of polluted water that flows into
bays, rivers, or the ocean, while replenishing soil moisture and local aquifers. Additional
benefits include reduction in irrigation requirements, non - source pollution as well as lower
risk of flooding.
