18. SS Credit 4.1

19. SS Credit 4.1: 1 PointAlternative Transport Public Transport Access Public Transport Access Intent: • Reduce pollution from auto use • Reduce land development from auto use

20. SS Credit 4.1: 1 PointAlternative Transport Public Transport Access Public Transport Access Intent: • Reduce p___ from a___ use • Reduce l___ d___ from a___ use

21. SS Credit 4.2

22. SS Credit 4.2: 1 PointAlternative Transport Bicycle Storage & Changing Rooms This is the first credit that deals with FTE (Full-Time Equivalent) occupants. The definition of FTE is a sort of calculation explained here: Calculate the full-time equivalent (FTE) building occupants based on a standard 8-hour occupancy period. An 8-hour occupant has an FTE value of 1.0, while a part-time occupant has an FTE value based on their hours per day divided by 8. • FTE Occupants = Occupant Hours / 8 • This calculation must be consistent for all LEED for New Construction credits. Bicycle Storage & Changing Rooms Intent: • Reduce ___ from ___ ___ • Reduce ___ ___ from ___ ___

39. SS Credit 7.1

40. SS Credit 7.1: 1 PointHeat Island Effect: Non-Roof Heat Island effect occurs when warm temperatures are experienced in urban areas compared to adjacent rural areas because of solar energy retention on constructed surfaces: for example, black asphalt and concrete horizontal surfaces absorb sun energy and become warm. Solar Reflectance Index (SRI). offers a measure of the ability of a surface to reject solar heat. It ranges from 0 (black) to 100 (white). This is not to be confused with emissivity, which is the ratio of the radiation emitted by a surface to the radiation emitted by a black body at the same temperature. Intent: • Reduce heat islands • Minimize solar impact on microclimate and habitats
