Sustainability Principles: <br />• Intended residential building goal would be to design for Net Zero Energy <br />producing as much energy as consumed. <br />• Residential buildings shall be at a minimum all electric utilizing solar photo voltaic <br />collection, as mandated by state and local requirements with fossil fuel powered <br />farm equipment and generators excepted unless proven newer technologies are <br />available providing more effective environmental protection strategies. <br />• In order to reduce energy loads the following strategies should be considered: <br />o Solar orientation <br />o Overhangs and shade protection <br />o Interior daylighting <br />o Super insulated, minimized thermal transfer <br />o Increased thermal mass <br />o High performance windows, minimum U 0.24 <br />o Cool and or green roofs <br />o Natural convection cooling <br />o Radiant heating and cooling <br />o Ground sourced thermal heat pump <br />o Hot Water: Tankless gas water heater with smart recirculation pump <br />o LED lighting <br />o Smart building management of the environmental controls <br />o All electric state of the art in high efficiency appliances <br />o Battery storage coupled with electric vehicle battery storage <br />• Reduced water consumption using low water planting with smart irrigation <br />systems, low flow fixtures, CAL Green mandatory fixture performance. Lot <br />owners are encouraged to store and use recycled gray water and captured rain <br />water. Such use would require City approval. <br />• Consider dual plumbing for recycled water, rain water harvesting, on site <br />filtration. <br />• Rodent protection CAL Green mandatory requirement <br />• Choose healthy non-hazardous materials and construction methods to maximize <br />indoor air quality. CAL Green mandatory requirement <br /> <br />O. Construction Principles <br />• All construction practices to follow Alameda County and City of Pleasanton <br />current requirements for new construction including hours of work, dust and <br />noise control, recycling and waste management. <br />• Custom home builders can consider modular or factory assembled components <br />for reduced waste, speed of construction, and reduced onsite impacts. Open flat <br />lots allow for delivery of large-scale building parts and crane installation. <br />• Custom home builders can consider rammed earth construction utilizing local fire <br />resistive building materials and naturally creating building mass. <br />• Maintenance and operation manuals for each new residence are provided per <br />CAL Green mandatory requirement
