STREET LIGHTS

GCT Credit 15: Infrastructure Energy Efficiency

Intent: Reduce air, water and land pollution from energyconsumptionRequirements: Design or purchase any traffic lights, streetlights, water and wastewater pumps, and treatment systems

that are included as part of the project to achieve a 15%annual energy reduction beyond an estimated baselineenergy use for this infrastructure. If any traffic lights areinstalled as part of the project, use LED technology.

STREET LIGHTS: LED

Ann Arbor, Mich.Successful pilot completed: LED replacement for downtownglobe lights (a retrofit of existing fixtures)City now has $630,000 grant to fund retrofits for over 1,000downtown lights.Initial installation will save City over $100,000 per year,reducing annual greenhouse gas emissions by 267 tonnes

CO2eGoal: Replace all public lighting in City with LEDs

STREET LIGHTS: METAL HALIDE

The most energy-efficient andhighest quality option ofstandardstreet lights (in terms of light control,distribution and color rendition) is theMetal Halide Cutoff. Pulse-startmetal halide lamps provide even

greater energy-efficiency comparedto standard metal halide. -- NewYork State Energy Research andDevelopment Authority

ALTERNATIVE ENERGY

GCT Credit 12: On-Site Energy Generation

Intent: Reduce air, water and land pollution from energyconsumption and production by increasing the efficiency ofthe power delivery system. Increase the reliability of power.Requirements:

Option 1 Develop on-site energy generation system(s) withpeak electrical generating capacity of at least 5% of theprojects specified electrical service load.Option 2 Develop on-site energy generation system(s) withcapacity of at least 5% of the projects annual electrical andthermal energy consumption, as established through anaccepted building energy performance simulation tool.

ALTERNATIVE ENERGY

GCT Credit 13: On-Site Renewable Energy Sources

Intent: Encourage on-site renewable energy self-supply in order toreduce environmental and economic impacts associated with fossil fuelenergy use.

Requirements:

Option 1 Design and incorporate the use of shared on-site non-polluting renewable energy generation technologies such as solar, wind,geothermal, small scale/micro hydroelectric, and biomass with peakelectrical generating capacity of at least 5% of the projects specifiedelectrical service load.

Option 2 - Design and incorporate the use of shared on-site non-polluting renewable energy generation technologies such as solar, wind,geothermal, small scale/micro hydroelectric, and biomass with peakelectrical generating capacity of at least 5% of the projects annualelectrical and thermal energy consumption, as established through anaccepted building energy performance simulation tool.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

GCT Credit 19: Comprehensive Waste Management

Intent: Reduce the waste hauled to and disposed of in landfills. Promote proper disposalof office and household hazardous waste streams.

Requirements: Meet at least two of the following three requirements and publicize theavailability and benefits of the drop-off point(s), station(s), or services:

1 Include at least one drop-off point as part of the project available to all project

occupants for office or household potentially hazardous wastes such as paints,solvents, oil, batteries; OR locate the project in a local government jurisdiction thatprovides services for collecting these materials. If a plan for post-collection disposal oruse does not exist, establish one.

2 Include at least one recycling or reuse station as part of the project available to allproject occupants dedicated to the separation, collection, and storage of materials forrecycling including, at a minimum, paper, corrugated cardboard, glass, plastics andmetals; OR locate the project in a local government jurisdiction that provides recyclingservices for these materials. If a plan for post-collection use does not exist, establishone.

3 Include at least one compost station as part of the project available to all projectoccupants dedicated to the collection and composting of food wastes; OR locate projectin a local government jurisdiction that provides services for composting materials. If a

plan for post-collection use does not exist, establish one.
