Green Infrastructure and Buildings (21 Questions) – Above Green

A. Infrastructure:

Renewable energy production (e.g., solar; wind; geothermal; small-scale; micro- hydroelectric; biomass)
District heating and cooling
Infrastructure energy efficiency (e.g., traffic lights; street lights; water; wastewater pumps)
Recycled and reused infrastructure (e.g., roadways; parking lots; water retention tanks; water piping)
Solid waste management

B. Buildings:

Certified green buildings (e.g., LEED; ISO-compliant)
Energy use (e.g., design; building loads; energy efficiency; ASHRAE 90.1-2010; Energy STAR®/HERs)
Indoor water use (e.g., fixture selection)
Materials reuse (e.g., building reuse; historic preservation; adaptive use)

C. Site design and development:

Construction activity pollution prevention and minimized site disturbance
Outdoor water use (e.g., reduced potable water use for irrigation) and management of wastewater
Heat island reduction and solar orientation
Lighting pollution reduction
Rainwater management (e.g., EPA Technical Guidance Section 438; percentile rainfall event; low-impact development; green infrastructure)
