LEED & Stormwater ManagementSustainable SitesPrerequisite – Erosion and Sedimentation ControlCredit 6.1 – Stormwater ManagementCredit 7.1 - Landscape & Exterior Design toReduce Heat IslandsCENTRAL FLORIDA CHAPTER

Sustainable SitesPrerequisite – Erosion and Sedimentation ControlIntent: Control erosion to reduce negative impactson water and air quality.CENTRAL FLORIDA CHAPTER

Sustainable SitesPrerequisite – Erosion and Sedimentation ControlRequirement: Design a sediment and erosion control plan specific tothe site that conforms to U.S. EPA September 1992 Storm WaterManagement for Construction Activities, (Document No. EPA-832-R92-005, Chapter 3) or local sedimentation and erosion standards,whichever is more stringent. The plan shall meet the followingobjectives:- Prevent loss of soil during construction by storm water runoff and/orwind erosion, including protecting topsoil by stockpile for reuse.- Prevent sedimentation of storm sewer or receiving streams and/or airpollution with dust and particulate matter.CENTRAL FLORIDA CHAPTER

Sustainable SitesCredit 6.1 – Stormwater Management: 2 Points(Rate & Quantity)Intent: Limit disruption of natural water flows byminimizing stormwater runoff, increasing on-siteinfiltration and reducing contaminations.CENTRAL FLORIDA CHAPTER

Sustainable SitesCredit 6.1 – Stormwater ManagementRate: 1 PointRequirement: No net increase in the rate and quantity ofstormwater runoff from existing to developed conditions; OR, ifexisting imperviousness is greater than 50% implement astormwater management plan that results in a 25% decrease.CENTRAL FLORIDA CHAPTER

Sustainable SitesCredit 6.1 – Stormwater ManagementQuantity: 1 PointRequirement: Treatment systems designed to remove 80% totalsuspended solids (TSS), and 40% of the average post developmenttotal phosphorus (TP), by implementing Best Management Practices(BMPs) outlined in Chapter 4, Part 2 (Urban Runoff), of the UnitedStates Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) GuidanceSpecifying Management Measures for Source of Nonpoint Pollution inCoastal Waters, January 1993 (Document No. EPA-840-B-92-002) orthe local government’s BMP documents (whichever is more stringent).CENTRAL FLORIDA CHAPTER

Sustainable SitesCredit 7.1 – Landscape & Exterior Design toReduce Heat Islands: 1 Point(Roof)Intent: Reduce heat islands (thermal gradient differencesbetween developed and undeveloped areas) to minimizeimpact in microclimates, human and wildlife habitat.CENTRAL FLORIDA CHAPTER

Sustainable SitesCredit 7.1 – Stormwater ManagementRoof – 1 PointRequirement: Use ENERGY STAR compliant (highly reflective)AND high emissivity roofing (emissivity of at least 0.9 when testedin accordance with ASTM 408) for a minimum of 75% of the roofsurface; OR, install a green (vegetated) roof for at least 50% ofthe roof area. Combinations of high albedo and vegetated roofcan be used providing they collectively cover 75% of the roodarea.CENTRAL FLORIDA CHAPTER

Green Building isNot a FadThere is an estimated 15 billion worth of green buildings currently indesign or under construction in the US, representing 12-15% of totalpublic construction and 2% of private sector construction. Althoughthe 15 billion is less than 5% of the total 315 billion US annualconstruction for commercial, industrial and institutional buildings,this category is growing at a rate of about 75% annually.Hybrid VehiclesOrganic GroceriesCENTRAL FLORIDA CHAPTER
