<br />· Maximize the use of passive systems for heating (e.g. beneficial solar <br />heat gain) and cooling/ventilation (e.g. chimney effect, operable windows, <br />cross-ventilation). <br />· Minimize unwanted solar heat gain (e.g. strategic window placement and <br />shading). <br />· Maximize the beneficial use of daylight in order to reduce dependence on <br />electrical lighting. <br />· Evaluate the use of "alternative" sources of energy such as photovoltaic <br />systems. <br />· Select energy efficient and appropriately sized mechanical systems. <br /> <br /> <br />image 21 <br /> <br /> <br />image 22 <br /> <br />y Sustainable Construction Process - The construction process should <br />optimize sustainability benefits, including: careful resource management to <br />minimize water and maximize recycling of construction waste; ensure <br />consistency with sustainable materials and systems selection; ensure the <br />protection of indoor air quality. <br /> <br />y Indoor Air Quality - Control indoor air quality by taking the following steps to <br />prevent contamination: <br /> <br />· Control (or prohibit) smoking during construction to minimize the <br />exposure of or non-smokers to environmental tobacco smoke. <br />· Ensure adequate building ventilation and the provision of fresh air. <br />· Utilize only low-emitting building materials, including adhesives, paints, <br />and coatings, carpet systems, and composite wood and agrifiber <br />products. <br /> <br />. Multi-Use <br /> <br />In order to create multi-purpose "flex" spaces that function efficiently, the <br />following strategies are highly encouraged: <br /> <br />Page 22 of 77 <br /> <br />Carter;; Burgess <br />Hatch Partnership, LLP <br />Jankedesign <br />
