a. Energy: Computerized systems will be used to control refrigeration, air conditioning and lighting. <br /> Each system will be set to reduced levels at night, and all display case lighting will be turned off <br /> when the store is closed. The parking lot, sales floor, walk-in coolers and freezers, refrigerated <br /> display cases and exterior signage (where feasible) will all be equipped with energy-efficient LED <br /> lighting. In addition, a computerized system will be used for daylight harvesting by automatically <br /> controlling the sales floor lighting in accordance with the level of light entering through windows <br /> and skylights. Low emissivity glass and window shading devices will be used to reduce heat gain <br /> through windows. When available through local utilities, a demand response program will be used, <br /> whereby different systems in different parts of the store are turned off for short periods of time to <br /> reduce energy use at the utility's peak demand time. Occupancy sensors will be used to control <br /> lighting in offices areas. Point of use water heaters will be used in conjunction with waste heat <br /> from refrigeration systems. Highly reflective, lightly colored roofing will be installed to reduce <br /> energy use by 70% and increase customer comfort by eliminating cold shopping aisles. <br /> b. Water: Low flow fixtures will be installed in restrooms, and kitchens will employ water- <br /> efficient equipment. <br /> c. Recycling: Cardboard, plastic stretch wrap and shopping bags, office paper, floral buckets, <br /> cooking oil, meat trimmings, etc. will be collected for reuse or recycling. <br /> d. Community Support: Food donations will be made to local food banks. <br /> Definitions: <br /> "City" shall mean the City of San Marcos, Texas. <br /> "Base Regulations" shall mean the regulations that have been adopted by the City of San Marcos,TX at the <br /> time this PDD is approved. <br /> Donn I Q <br />
