The Solano County Government Center is to be designed, constructed and equipped with energy efficiency and sustainable design measures, materials, and devices that are feasible, proven and cost effective.
In keeping with this goal, this project will require compliance to minimum standards and performance criteria as baseline requirements for the Design Builder to meet in the design and construction of the project.
Energy Efficiency: The Solano County Government Center shall be designed, constructed, and equipped to exceed the minimum building energy-efficiency standards mandated by Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations. The Design Builder is responsible for validating that this requirement will be met in the design of this project through the use of computer modeling.
Water Conservation Measures: In the interior and exterior plumbing and landscaping.
Demolition and Construction Waste: A minimum of 75% weight of demolition and new construction waste shall be diverted from landfill.
Sustainable Materials Selection Process: For this project, the selection of sustainable building materials shall include criteria such as recycled content, indoor air quality, renewable resource content, transportation efficiency, product packaging and durability and maintenance. The Design Builder shall demonstrate that materials have been selected which represent the most appropriate choice given the various criteria.
