Municipal PCR Draft Credit 7: Clean and Efficient Material Recovery and Organics Processing Facilities (x points)

Municipal PCR Draft Credit 7: Clean and Efficient Material Recovery and Organics Processing Facilities (x points)

Intent:

Minimizing the environmental footprint of material recovery and organics processing facilities.

Requirements:

Tier #1:

• Implements energy conservation which that results in a _____% saving in energy consumption (over a ___ baseline).
• ____% reduction in non-point source (e.g. rolling stock) emissions and/or energy consumption
• Facility addresses ambient and indoor air quality through proper dust control practices. Facility achieves X% above OSHA-required standards for ambient and indoor air quality.
• Facility provides employees with daylight/natural light and access to views/nature.
• The facility is generating 1-3% of its required power by using solar energy.
• _____% of the facility (by value) is constructed from recycled or repurposed material.

Tier #2:

• Facility is LEED-certified.

Strategies:

• Does the facility Utilize solar energy? What percentage of the KWH is provided through solar?
• Does The facility uses electric, natural gas or alternative fueled vehicles?
• Does The facility implements energy-reduction processes (motion-activated lighting, efficient equipment, etc.) and practices? We will want to benchmark energy consumption for a typical facility.
