California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 2 L3" 72 CEQA Litigation - 7 Are there any unresolved legal actions pending against the project regarding CEQA compliance? If so, provide the case name, court number, ano a b net No, not applicable. — Energy Conservation Describe what measures (include building design, solar orientation, materials, mechanical systems, natural ambient lighting, etc.) are planned to reduce energy consumption and operating costs for the library. As requested by the Community, promoted by City Staff, and designed by the LEED Accredited Architects, the proposed y will be an energy - efficient and green building, integrating materials and methods that promote environmental quality, -ing both energy consumption and ongoing operating costs for the library. The proposed library is designed to meet the Irements for a US Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED Certified Building. This is achieved primarily through the building )n in the following ways: Site Planning: The selected site is neither in the 100 -year flood plain, nor is it prime agricultural land. Bio- filtration swales will to naturally remove sediments from the parking lot drainage prior to being released into the city's stone drain system. The pct, through its intended link to pedestrian and bicycle paths strongly encourages access by walking or bicycling to the library Water efficiency: Irrigation will be provided through high - efficiency irrigation technologies. Plumbing fixtures will have natic sensor controls, reducing water use by up to 20 %. Energy Use: Through use of an under -floor air, power and telecom system, the library design is projected to surpass 2001 24 energy requirements by over 25 %. Natural daylighting through north - facing clerestory windows will decrease the overall loads, without introducing direct light into the spaces. Materials and Resources: The architects have specified materials with high recycled content. Further, the contractor will be red to locally procure materials and furnishings wherever feasible. Indoor Environmental Quality: Prior to occupation, the contractor will conduct a two-week flush -out period so that newly fled materials will off -gas. Low VOC adhesives and paints, and carpets that meet the Green Label program will be specified. Version 1.3 (5/30102) 18
