| Abstract/Contents: | Suggests that "final action voters should vote against the standing motion to disapprove GG243-11 and in favor of a motion to approve GG243-11 as submitted." Continues that "[it is] not an appropriate means to address site sustainability goals," and provides an alternative method for setting performance goals. Summarizes a study conducted in Arizona, reporting that "energy consumed for air-conditioning a home with a rock landscape was 20-30% more than for the turf and shade landscape." Mentions the leaching potential of golf courses, and concludes that "the 40% turfgrass limitation is bade code, almost impossible to enforce, and should not be included in the IgCC [International Green Construction Code]." |
