• Locally source as many materials as possible, creating economic and environmental sustainability. (Site, Building) • Replace high carbon products with low or sequestered carbon products. For example, where possible, we will replace steel and wood members. If possible, concrete decking may be replaced with wood decking. (Site, Building) • Where possible, work to convert fossil fuel-based products to renewable products with less environmental impact. (Site, Building) • Recycle products and materials by having cardboard and metal recycling dumpsters during the construction process. We will require all Subs to utilize the recycling protocols during the building process. (Site, Building) • Utilize low-flow water products in the building design. (Site, Building) • Where possible, use Energy Star Appliances. (Building) • Do not use any tropical hardwoods in the project unless such products have been approved by the Forest Stewardship Council or verified as sustainability harvested. (Building) • Use silt fence barriers (recycled if readily available), straw protections, and other mitigating resources from soil and stormwater management during construction. (Site, Building) • Use deciduous trees throughout the project to help reduce the heat island effect. (Site, Building).
