The document discusses sustainability considerations for the San Bernardino Intermodal Transit Center project. It covers key elements like transportation, energy, water, waste, biodiversity, and the economic and community impacts. Specific topics discussed include the energy hierarchy, passive and active design strategies, alternative technologies/renewables, operations, and social/economic factors like jobs, housing, health, and investment. It also addresses rating systems, legal compliance, and key performance indicators to measure the project's success in reducing carbon emissions and encouraging sustainable transportation.

- 1. November 06 Symposium Sustainability as it relates to San Bernardino Intermodal Transit Center
- 2. Context The US produces 22% of the world’s total carbon emissions. We consume 27% of the world’s total energy and 25% of its total petroleum. We control 19.6% of the world’s total income. We own 48.6% of the world’s cars and trucks. We make up 4.5% of the world’s population.
- 3. Key elements of a sustainable development Transportation Energy Water Waste Biodiversity Parks and Economic Community & Recreation Balance Landscape
- 4. Transportation These three images show the same number of people in the same street scene
- 5. Energy Hierarchy • Energy Hierarchy as defined by AB32 • Defines approach to reducing energy/carbon impact due to buildings
- 6. Planning Operations Alternative technologies Passive & renewables Active Sustainability Strategy
- 7. Planning Operations Alternative Passive technologies & renewables Active Heat island effect Planning
- 8. Planning Operations Alternative Passive technologies & renewables Active Passive
- 9. Planning Operations Alternative Passive technologies & renewables Active Active

- 11. Planning Operations Alternative Passive technologies & renewables Active Operations
- 12. Solar technologies Solar thermal image
- 13. Social and Economic Considerations • AB32 Compliance • Jobs/Housing Balance • Walkability – health benefits • Reduced household costs • Green job creation • Early adopters attract investment • Third party investment opportunities
- 14. Rating and Recognition • LEED® Rating – Silver, Gold or Platinum? • Carbon Net Zero • Climate Action Registry Protocols • Scope I and II for buildings Global Leader • Further scope for transportation boundaries Market Leader Regional Leader Legal Compliance
- 15. Key Performance Indicators • How do we measure and report the success of the Intermodal Center? • CO2e per person? • Green space per resident? • Miles traveled before and after? • Need a collaborative decision on how we measure success over and above the rating system(s). “In order to reach California’s green house goals we must re- think how we plan our communities” – Governors Office referring to SB375
