This document outlines two potential renewable energy projects for communities: a landfill gas project for San Angelo, Texas, and a solar project for Dedham, Massachusetts. For the landfill gas project, capturing methane from the city landfill could generate 2 MW of electricity or provide gas to local industry. Benefits include a new revenue source, local jobs, and reducing greenhouse gases. The solar project involves installing 152 kW of solar panels at town buildings to provide 183,000 kWh annually through a power purchase agreement with no upfront costs. Both projects follow a development process from initial proposal to construction over 18-36 months for landfill gas or 6-12 months for solar.
The document provides information about a public drop-in event to discuss water servicing alternatives for the Downsview Area in Toronto. It summarizes the following:
- The study considered alternatives to address low water pressure issues and future growth, including doing nothing, long and short transmission watermain options, and storage.
- Alternative 2A, a realigned pressure district with a long transmission watermain along Keele Street, was identified as the preferred solution due to its ability to improve water pressure over a large area, flexibility for growth, and minimal impacts and costs compared to other options.
- Upgrades to the existing Keele Pumping Station are proposed to support the recommended solution.

Cost Effectiveness of LID ImplementationRobert Muir
Green infrastructure can provide flood control, erosion control, and water quality benefits but the costs must be considered. A case study in Markham, Ontario found that a green infrastructure strategy was not cost-effective for flood control compared to conventional grey infrastructure strategies when considering capital and lifecycle costs. While green infrastructure provided benefits, the annual costs were much higher than the annual benefits. The study also highlighted concerns with infiltration from green infrastructure increasing risks of basement flooding and degradation of drinking water sources.

1. National Center for Community Renewal (NCCR)
Preliminary Goals and Strategies for
Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED)
Green Building Rating System for New Construction & Major Renovations
(LEED-NC) Version 2.2
This document describes initial thoughts for achieving scores in each of the
various criteria used for ranking the NCCR project in the Green Building Rating
System. As the design team, academic institutional partners, construction
industry / products partners, public utility partners, granting Foundation and
governmental support partners are assembled these initial thoughts will be
modified or changed into final goals and strategies to guide the building design,
construction and operations. The goal for NCCR is to achieve as high a ranking
as reasonably possible for this project. Some possible technologies that can be
incorporated will provide an initial savings or an operational savings that can
make the project more economically feasible. Other technologies may not be
easily justifiable in terms of economic feasibility. If this project can become a
demonstration to advance technologies that show potential for commercial
viability and funding can be secured, then this project will incorporate these
concepts to advance the science of green building and sustainable design.
The LEED categories and preliminary point targets include:
Sustainable Sites – 11 to 14 points
Water Efficiency – 3 to 5 points
Energy & Atmosphere – 8 to 14 points
Materials & Resources – 7 to 10 points
Indoor Environmental Quality – 13 to 15 points
Innovation & Design Process – 2 to 5 points
The scoring levels are:
Certified – 26 to 32 points
Silver – 33 to 38 points
Gold – 39 to 51 points
Platinum – 52 or more points
Based on the following initial project statements and goals for each of the criteria
the likely score could range between 44 (Gold) and 63 (Platinum).
Sustainable Sites (14 possible points – 11 to 14 points likely for NCCR)
Erosion and Sedimentation Control – required criteria (no points)
Erosion Control and Sedimentation plans are required by the City of
Shreveport for all construction projects. Buildings adjacent to the existing

of the city storm sewer and street. This will likely be some sort of silt
fencing.
Site Selection – (1 point)
The NCCR project should receive 1 point in this category as the project
site is in an existing central business district, renews a high-rise building
that results in minimizing the footprint and the potential for sharing parking
with neighboring buildings.
Development Density – (1 point)
NCCR is at the center of an urban metropolitan area that has seen little
commercially viable new development or renovations in over 10 years. It is
a catalyst project that will result in additional investment in this urban core.
The development intensity of this 200,000 s.f. project is approximately
280,000 s.f. per acre
Brownfield Development – (1 point)
The site for the NCCR includes a high-rise building that has been vacant
for almost 20 years largely due to extensive asbestos contamination.
Developing this property reduces pressure on developing Greenfield sites.
A remediation / abatement plan has been developed for the high rise and
grant funding obtained for removal.
Demolition and removal of materials should incorporate a plan for
recycling construction materials such as gypsum, wire, doors, steel frames,
aluminum and other products that can be sold or given to companies that
use waste materials in manufacture of new products. This procedure will
extend the life of waste material landfills, will reduce the extraction of
natural resources used for new materials and reduce the energy required
in the manufacture of new products.
Alternative Transportation: Public transportation access – (1 point)
The site is located on the main street and on a city bus transit route as
well as a downtown shuttle route. The main city bus transit transfer facility
is approximately 1 block from the site. The privately run intra city bus
station is 2 blocks from the site.
NCCR will work with the local transit authority / operator to offer incentives
to employees that utilize public transit.
Many of the users of this building will arrive and depart by use of bus, taxi
and airport shuttle.
SBCR operates a shuttle for transporting trainees and conference
attendees during their stay.

allow walking to work or bicycling.
Future NCCR shuttle purchases will include alternative fuel vehicles for
transporting conference and trainee attendees that will exceed the goal of
3% of building users utilizing alternative fuel vehicles.
Alternative Transportation: Parking Capacity – (1 point)
Zoning in the Shreveport Central Business District does not require that
new or renovated buildings provide parking as a means of encouraging use
of public transportation and shared parking facilities. If parking is provided
it must meet the city parking requirements for the building use or
demonstrate through a parking demand calculation the actual usage. Most
users will arrive to the facility by public transport from the regional airport.
Demand calculations will show significantly less parking need than other
downtown office buildings and hotels.
Planned parking will expand the existing adjoining parking structure
upward 2 to 3 levels. The existing parking structure is designed for vertical
expansion.
