23. Air Resource Team Benchmarking Existing Conditions 1.Particulate matter/Fugitive Dust b)Identify roadways of differing speed limits to help identify impacts of mitigating particulate matter along roadways.

24. Air Resource Team Benchmarking Existing Conditions 2.Energy Efficiency a)Shading of Buildings Use building footprints and tree canopy data to determine reduced energy usage of existing canopyUse building footprints and tree canopy data to determine reduced energy usage of existing canopy Average seasonal savings of 3.6 – 4.8 kWh/day (Akabari, Pomerantz, Taha, 2001)Average seasonal savings of 3.6 – 4.8 kWh/day (Akabari, Pomerantz, Taha, 2001) kWh reduced * $0.0959/kWh = value of savings (Center for Neighborhood Technology, 2010)kWh reduced * $0.0959/kWh = value of savings (Center for Neighborhood Technology, 2010)
