5.1 Site Development: Protect or Restore Habitat On Greenfield sites, limit all site disturbance within the parameters of the requirements with permeable surfaces (such as pervious paving areas, stormwater detention facilities). Select a suitable building site and design the building with a minimal footprint to minimize site disruption. 5.2 Site Development: Maximize Open Space Reduce the development footprint (defined as entire building footprint, access roads and parking) to exceed the local zoning's open space requirement for the site by 25%. Select a suitable building site and design...

SUSTAINABLE SITES 6.1 Stormwater Quantity Control: 6.2 Stormwater Quality Control: Limit disruption and pollution of natural water flows by reducing impervious cover, increasing onsite infiltration, and managing stormwater runoff (reducing or eliminating pollution and contaminants). Implement a stormwater management plan that reduces impervious cover, promotes infiltration and captures/treats the stormwater runoff from 90% of the average annual rainfall using acceptable BMPs. Specify pervious paving garden roofs and vegetated retaining walls to minimize impervious surfaces. 1 CREDIT:...

MATERIALS & RESOURCES 4.1 Recycled Content Post Consumer: (10%) 4.2 Recycled Content Post Consumer: (20%) 5.1 Regional Materials: 10% Extracted, Processed & Manufactured Regionally 5.2 Regional Materials: 20% Extracted, Processed & Manufactured Regionally Increase demand for building products that incorporate recycled content materials, therefore reducing impacts resulting from extraction and processing of new virgin materials. Increase demand for building materials and products that are extracted and manufactured within the region, thereby supporting the use of indigenous resources and...

the green heart of Pittsburgh The Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, Pittsburgh, PA, USA, featuring state-of-the-art energy-saving initiatives, earns its prestigious title as the most energy-efficient conservatory in the world. To address visitor parking limitations, a 100-space green parking area was designed to accommodate expected overflow traffic during peak times and special events. The Geoblock® porous pavement system was chosen at the popular conservatory to provide the required overflow parking while protecting the turf during peak-time traffic loadings. The permeable system...
