TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Incorporating Sustainability into Treasure Island: A Triple Bottom Line Approach Environmental Stewardship Designed to preserve natural resources and reduce environmental impacts. Social Benefits A vibrant, compact, livable community with a strong sense of place and housing choices for different income levels. Economic Vitality Stimulates job growth and new small businesses. Employs resource efficient strategies that will reduce basic household expenditures.

14
TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Energy Designed to minimize demand energy efficient buildings | centralized heating and cooling | title 24 exceeded by 20%
15
TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Proposed Energy Supply
16
TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Energy Reliance on clean, renewable sources of power 100% renewable grid source supply | maximize on-site renewables | export energy during peak hours
17
TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Reduced Carbon Footprint Reduced emissions from energy and transportation 60% reduction of CO 2 emissions from baseline conditions TI Existing 7,740 lbs / year / resident TI 2018 3,030 lbs / year / resident
18
TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Water and Wastewater Living within the water budget Reduce potable water consumption by 20% | Treat stormwater & 100% wastewater on-site | Maximize use of gray water
19
TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Solid Waste Eliminating the concept of waste composting on-island | 100% diversion by 2020 | minimize generation | maximize reuse
20
TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Materials Reducing Embodied Energy and Toxicity of Materials adaptive reuse | local procurement | recycled & renewable materials
