(d) Water Efficiency: <br />Reducing water consumption and protecting water quality are key <br />objectives in "Sustainable Building Practices". Unfortunately, Santa Ana's <br />water conscious purple pipe system does not connect to WCW's site and <br />is therefore not a viable option. However, there are number of water <br />efficient strategies WCW can use to meet sustainability objectives. <br />WCW may employ a dual plumbing system which can be used to recycle <br />water used by the site. Wastewater will be minimized by utilizing water <br />conserving fixtures such as ultra -low flush toilets and grey water can be <br />collected to irrigate site landscaping. <br />Finally, point of use water treatment and heating will improve both water <br />quality and energy efficiency. This will also reduce the amount of water <br />in circulation. <br />(e) Materials Efficiency: <br />Pursuant to Section 2 (c) regarding energy efficiency, lumber from <br />forests that have been certified to a third -party forest standard is a <br />sustainable construction material. Rapidly renewable plant materials <br />such as bamboo and straw, dimension stone, recycled stone, and <br />recycled metal also meet materials efficiency standards and will be <br />considered in WCW's site plan. <br />In the event concrete is required, high performance or Roman self - <br />healing concrete is WCW's preferred solution for sustainability. Further, <br />the EPA also suggests that recycled industrial goods, such as coal <br />combustion products, foundry sand, and demolition debris are also <br />potential building materials that meet sustainability criteria. <br />(f) Indoor Environnemental Quality Enhancement: <br />Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) is one of the five environmental <br />categories in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) <br />standards. It was created to provide comfort, well-being, and productivity <br />for occupants and/or workers. <br />The WCW Team will strive to achieve optimal indoor air quality through <br />reducing Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) and other air impurities <br />such as microbial contaminants and cannabis odor. This objective will be <br />met with properly designed system that will provide adequate <br />17 <br />
