Features of Living in Intelligent and Green Cities
Open Space
- Optimal open space design
- Pedestrian paths to open space, walking/biking corridors and public gathering areas
- Maximum sunlight and open sky.
- Native or adapted species used to minimize water consumption without adversely affecting
the habitat (e.g. allergens, vegetation control, etc.)
Transportation
- Expanded public transportation service will enhance access throughout carbon-free
transportation
- Covered parking located primarily underground or under a canopy to maximize open
space above ground.
- Parking capacity within each block will be reserved for fuel-efficient and low-emitting
vehicles. Office and commercial blocks will reserve an additional parking capacity
for carpool vehicles.
- Parking garages will integrate infrastructure for electrical vehicle charging to
facilitate the transition to low emissions transportation.
Water
- Irrigation-based potable water usage reduced through efficient landscape design,
water-saving irrigation systems, and treated greywater reuse
- Efficient plumbing fixtures to reduce potable water consumption
- Redirection of stormwater runoff
- Vegetated green roofs reduce stormwater runoff, minimize urban heat and promote
biodiversity and habitat preservation
Energy
- Projects will be built to or above ASHRAE standards to create comfortable, energy
efficient buildings
- A natural gas generation facility provide clean power
- Energy efficient equipment installed throughout
Recycling
- Maximize recycling of waste material
- Increase use of recycled materials and locally produced/manufactured materials
- Utilize concrete with fly ash content to reduce Portland cement
- Improved usage of low-VOC materials
Operations
- Sustainable procurement goals and recycling guidelines will be integrated into the
operational structure of the city through the facilities management digital interface.
- Facilities management and maintenance contracts will mandate environmentally friendly
(low/zero VOC), EcoLabel, Good Recycled designations or equivalent) products
- Smoking will be prohibited in public areas and office buildings except for specially
designated areas.
