SSp1 Construction Activity Pollution Prevention

1. SSp1 Construction Activity Pollution Prevention • Submittals • Project drawings and description of erosion and sedimentation control measures implemented • Confirmation of NPDES Compliance or Local Erosion Control Standard • Narrative discussing measures as stringent as local or NPDES Strategies • Stabilization Techniques • Structural Controls • Erosion Control Plan by NPDES Synergy • Decision Maker: Engineer • Requirements • Create and implement Erosion Sedimentation Control Plan by NPDES • Prevent soil loss from storms or wind during construction. • Prevent sedimentation of storm sewer or streams • Prevent air pollution with dust and particulate matter. Points 0/0 Construction Standards USA EPAStorm Water Management for Construction Activities. To prevent soil erosion, airborne dust, and water sedimentation.

2. SSc1Site Selection • Decision Maker:Owner • Requirements • Do not develop project buildings on • Prime farmland • Habitat for endangered species • Public park land • Previously undeveloped land • With an elevation less than 5ft above FEMA 100 year flood. • Within 50 feet of waterbody . • Submittals • Confirmation that the project site is not on prohibited land. • Description of special circumstances or option not defined by the USGBC Strategies • Stabilization Techniques • Structural Controls • Erosion Control Plan by NPDES Synergy • Standards • US Dept of Agriculture Definition of Prime agricultural Land. • Federal Emergency Management Plan Agency (FEMA) • US Fish & wildlife Endangered Species List • US Code of Federal Regulations Definition of wetlands. Points 1/0 Design To reduce environmental impact by restricting site selection and building location on site.

3. Commissioning is the systematic process of assuring by verification and documentation that all the building's systems perform interactively with the design documentation and intent and in accordance with the owner's operational needs including preparation of operation personnel. Energy and AtmosphereCommissioning

4. Intent: Verify that the building's energy related systems are installed, calibrated and perform according to the owner's project requirements, basis of design, and construction documents. Submit after construction phase. Requirements: Designate a commissioning authority, CxA. Review the design intent. Develop and incorporate the commissioning requirements into the construction documents. Develop and implement a commissioning plan. Verify installation and performance of commissioning systems. Complete commissioning report. Energy & AtmosphereEAp1: Fundamental Commissioning

5. Intent: Begin the commissioning process early during the design process and execute additional activities after systems performance verification is completed. Submit after construction phase. Requirements: Designate an independent, CxA. Review OPR and BOD prior to mid-construction phase. Review contractor submittals. Develop a systems manual. Verify training requirements for operational personnel and occupants. Review building operation within 10 months after substantial completion. Energy & AtmosphereEAc3: Enhanced Commissioning
