What measures are being taken to offset the “urban heat island” effect?
A Several measures will be taken to reduce the “urban heat island” effect. We are working to compact the building footprint, minimize parking, stack buildings over parking, and maximize pervious walkways, drives, etc. We will plant over 15,000 trees to shade structures and pavement and may possibly use green roofs. We are also using porous and pervious trails, light colored paving materials and heat efficient roofs. You can read more about these measures and their effects in the Mueller Green Resources Guide.

How will it be determined how much he is able to achieve and how is it measureable?
