Green & Sustainable Design Sample Clauses

Green & Sustainable Design. Beyond mandates for LEED, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED -Certified buildings), and the premise of this design value will permeate the entire development. The entire design and all adjacent facilities which we are involved in will be designed with an integrated design approach known as “Low-Impact Development (LID) Design Strategies” long before any buildings are designed. LID is an innovative storm water management approach with the basic principle that is modeled after nature: manage rainfall at the source using uniformly distributed decentralized micro-scale controls. LID’s goal is to mimic a sites predevelopment hydrology by using design techniques that infiltrate, filter, store, evaporate, and detain runoff close to its source. Techniques are based on the premise that storm water management should not be seen as storm water disposal. Unfortunately storm water disposal as a premise has evolved and become the widespread norm. Integrated Management Practices (IMPs) are building blocks of LID. Almost all elements of the built environment can serve as an IMP in the control of a skilled design professional well versed in LID. Development of LID principles began in the early-nineties with the introduction of bioretention technology. Today bioretention is just one of the available LID techniques available. LID allows for greater development potential with less environmental impacts through the use of smarter designs and advanced technologies that achieve a better balance between conservation, growth, ecosystems protection, and public health/ quality of life. Sources available to assist in implementation of a truly sustainable development project include: • The International Sustainability Counsel which sets the standard for a “Center for Sustainability Excellence”, which would be our project design goal. • The Audubon Lifestyles, the Audubon Society, which assists in the management of the “Sustainability Programming” aspect of implementing the ISC principles. • Florida Atlantic University, Center for Environmental Studies, which will assist us in environmental reconnaissance and assessments. Some of the unique environments relative to our site(s) which must be preserved and managed are: Marine Environment: Coral reefs Beaches Fishing stock Water quality Terrestrial Environment: Aggregate extraction Air Quality standards (mining and construction) Dust control (mining and construction) Sediment runoff (mining and construction) Beach preserv...
