NO. DATE DESCRIPTION

Construction Activities: An erosion and sedimentation control plan willbe implemented to minimize erosion and sedimentation duringdemolition, site preparation and throughout construction.

Landscaping: Landscaping will utilize natural and adaptive plants and isdesigned to reduce the development`s heat island effect and minimize itsimpact on storm sewers while increasing local habitat.

Access to Transit: The project location is situated on a main transitcorridor served by multiple transit routes.

Alternative Transportation: The project will incorporate significantbicycle storage to further strengthen the use of alternative methods oftransportations.

Smart Location: The project is located in what is becoming a new centralhub. The site design and consideration of relation to adjacentproperties/amenities will provide for a walk able community.

Public Amenity: The project includes a daycare with large outside playarea. Spacing of the towers was optimized to maximize daylight exposureon the play area and common area.

Heat Island Effect Mitigation: 100% of the project’s parking isunderground, reducing the project’s heat island effect.

Irrigation Efficiency: The selection of native and adaptive plantings willsignificantly reduce the reliance on irrigation. In the event of a long periodof drought, watering will be done by hand.

Water Efficiency: Low flow/flush plumbing fixtures, including toilets,showerheads, lavatory faucets and kitchen faucets will be provided.

Passive Strategies: include individual façade treatments as a response tosolar exposure.

Reduced Thermal Bridging: A majority of the slab edges will be insulated,reducing impacts of thermal bridging.

Optimized Energy Performance: Energy efficiency measures areevaluated via a full building energy simulation.

Energy Efficiency: EnergyStar rated appliance including dishwasher,refrigerator, and clothes washer will be provided.

DES Compatibility: The mechanical systems will be appropriate for futureconnection to a neighborhood-scale hot water District Energy System(DES).

Water Efficiency: Low-flow plumbing fixtures will not only reduce waterconsumption but also reduce the amount of energy required to producehot water.

Waste Management: A construction waste management plan will bedeveloped and implemented throughout construction with a goal ofdiverting over 75% of waste generated.

Building Materials: Many of the building materials will be selected basedon recycled content and/or regional manufacturing.

GHG Reduction: Use of cement substitutes such as flyash will reduce thedevelopments CO2 footprint.

Indoor Air Quality: Low VOC finishes including adhesives, sealants andpaints.

Indoor Air Quality: Low emitting carpet and flooring systems will besourced.

Indoor Air Quality: Best practices will be implemented duringconstruction to optimize air quality and provide a clean and healthybuilding for the future residents.

Daylighting and Views: Appropriate glazing selection and placement willallow for plenty of daylight and views.

Air Quality: Partitions between units will be designed to minimize thetransfer of tobacco smoke and odors between units.

Thermal Comfort: Operable windows will be incorporated throughout thebuildings giving the future residents a high level of control over theirthermal comfort.

Acoustical Performance: Carful consideration will be given to the amountof glass and acoustical performance of glazing facing SW Marine Drive.
