2 Sustainable Sites Vocabulary: Location & Linkages Biodiversity The variety of life in all forms, level, and combinations, including ecosystem biodiversity, species diversity, and genetic diversity. Brownfields Previously used or developed land that may be contaminated with hazardous waste or pollution. Once damage has been remediated, land can be used. Redevelopment provides opportunity to restore degraded urban land & reduce sprawl. Community The amount of connection between a site and the surrounding community, measured by proximity of Connectivity the site to homes, schools, parks, stores, restaurants, medical facilities, and other services & amenities Development The total square footage of all buildings within a particular area, measured in sq ft per acre or units per Density acre. Greenfields Sites that have been in agricultural use or are far from existing infrastructure Infill An approach that uses sites that have been previously developed or are gaps between existing Development infrastructure Native and Native plants occur naturally in a given location & ecosystem. Adapted plants are not native but grow Adapted reliably w/minimal attention. Using native/adapted plants can reduce irrigation water, pesticides, & Vegetation fertilizer needs. Prime Farmland Previously undeveloped land with soil suitable for cultivation. Avoiding development helps protect agricultural lands, which are needed for flood protection. Site Disturbance The amount of a site that is disturbed by construction activity. On undeveloped sites, limiting the amount and boundary of site disturbance can protect surrounding habitat Site Design & Management Albedo The ability of a material to reject solar heat. (Synonymous with solar reflectance.) High-albedo = good at reflecting. Emissivity The ratio of the radiation emitted by a surface to the radiation emitted by a black body at the same temperature. Hardscape Inanimate elements of the building landscaping such as pavement, roadways, stone walls, concrete paths, sidewalks, brick, and tile. Heat Island The absorption of heat by hardscapes, such as dark, nonreflective pavement and buildings, and its Effect radiation to surrounding areas. Other urban sources may include vehicle exhaust, air-conditioners, and street equipment. Can increase the temperature from 2 to 10 degrees F in dense, urban areas. Imperviousness The resistance of a material to penetration by a liquid. Expressed as a percentage of total land area that doesn t allow moisture penetration. Impervious surfaces prevent rainwater from infiltrating into the ground, thereby increasing runoff, reducing groundwater recharge, & degrading surface water quality. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Light Trespass Perviousness Solar Reflectance Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) Managing pests (plants, fungi, insects, and/or animals) in a way that protects human health and the surrounding environment and that improves economic returns through the most effective, least-risk option. IPM calls for the use of least toxic chemical pesticides, minimum use of the chemicals, use only in targeted locations, and use only for targeted species. The spilling of light beyond the project boundary. Measured in foot candles. The percentage of the surface area of a paving material that is open and allows moisture to pass through the material and soak into the ground. A measure of the ability of a surface material to reflect sunlight on a scale of 0 to 1. Black paint has a solar reflectance of 0; white paint has a solar reflectance of 1. A measure of a material s ability to reflect solar heat, as shown by a small temperature rise. Materials with the highest SRI values are the coolest choices. Black is 0 and white is 100. Particularly cool materials can even exceed 100.
3 Transportation Acid Rain The precipitation of dilute solutions of strong mineral acids, formed by the mixing in the atmosphere of various industrial pollutants (primarily sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides) with naturally occurring oxygen or water vapor. Alternative-Fuel Use low-polluting, non-gasoline fuels such as electricity, hydrogen, propane, compressed natural gas, Vehicles liquid natural gas, methanol, and ethanol. In LEED, efficient gas-electric hybrids are included in this group. Carpool Arrangement by which 2 or more people share a vehicle for transportation. Fuel-Efficient Have achieved a minimum green score of 40 according to the annual vehicle-rating guide of the Vehicles American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE) Green Score Low-Emitting Classified as zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) by the California Air Resources Board Vehicles Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) A measure of transportation demand that estimates the travel miles associated with a project, most often for single-passenger cars. Stormwater Management Bioswale A stormwater control feature that uses a combination of an engineered basin, soils, and vegetation to slow and detain stormwater, increase groundwater recharge, and reduce peak stormwater runoff Low impact An approach to land management that mimics natural systems and manages stormwater as close to the development source as possible. (LID) Nonpoint source Water pollution caused by stormwater runoff from diffuse sources. When it rains, water washes pollution Nonstructural Measures Stormwater Runoff Structural Measures fertilizers, car oils, pet waste, etc, into receiving bodies of water. Stormwater is allowed to filter natural into the soil and infiltration is promoted. Include rain gardens, vegetated swales, disconnection of impervious areas, pervious pavement. Often preferred because they can be less expensive and help recharge groundwater supplies. Consists of water from precipitation that flows over surfaces into seer systems or receiving water bodies. All precipitation that leaves project site boundaries on the surface is considered stormwater runoff. Used to remove pollutants and sometimes treat water for reuse in irrigation or toilet flushing. Include rainwater cisterns, manhole treatment devices, and ponds. Preferred on urban/constrained sites because they can store/clean runoff with minimal space. Sustainable Sites Referenced Standards: Standard Credit(s) Definition American Council for an Energy Efficient Alternative Transportation Economy (ACEEE) Green SSc4.3 NC Score SSc4 EBOM US market. California Air Resources Board, Definition of Zero-Emission Vehicle Alternative Transportation SSc4.3 NC SSc4 EBOM Fuel-efficient vehicles achieve a minimum green score of 40 in the vehiclerating guide of ACEEE s Green Book which is published annually and provides consumer-oriented ratings for every new light-duty vehicle in the A zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) meets the standards of the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
