Green Update 4 October 6, 2008 <br />WPCP Methane Digester <br />• The WPCP and the Engineering department are working with Siemens, an energy <br />consultant, to install co-generation equipment at the WPCP. This equipment will use <br />excess gas emitted from the digester to generate electricity to run three cogeneration <br />units. These engine-driven generators will produce both electricity to operate the plant <br />and the heat to run the plant's anaerobic digester, which are heated to 98 degrees. <br />• This system, scheduled to be installed by Apri12009, will reduce energy usage by 68% at <br />the WPCP. The impact of the project on municipal greenhouse gas emissions is <br />substantial, a 9.7% reduction in City emissions. <br />Bay-Friendly Landscaping <br />• Bay Friendly Landscaping (BFL) measures have been encouraged for use in San Leandro <br />by City Council resolution since February 2006. An ordinance requiring these water- <br />efficient landscape practices for municipal buildings will be brought to City Council for <br />action in May 2009. <br />GREEN BUILDING <br />• A Green Building kiosk was installed at City Hall`s permit counter in May 2007 to <br />provide extensive information and demonstrate resources on Green Building features and <br />products as well as guidance for recycling of building debris. <br />• In October 2007, the City hosted a Green Building forum and exposition, for residents <br />and employees to learn about resource-efficient building design, solar energy providers, <br />sustainable building materials, and green financing. <br />• Planning staff is developing another information session for local builders and <br />homeowners at the SL Main Library. The date is not yet set but is planned for December <br />2008. <br />• In May 2008, San Leandro co-hosted a developer's forum for residential green building <br />programs and policies in the south Alameda County area. The forum was held at Ohlone <br />College in Newark. <br />• The City continues to wank with other south Alameda County cities in a coalition to <br />develop consistent policies. In spring 2009, this coalition will be putting on another <br />developer's forum which will focus on green building practices for commercial buildings. <br />• The City Council adopted an ordinance in May 2008 which requires a Leadership in <br />Energy and Environment Design (LEED) Silver certification from the US Green Building <br />Council for municipal construction costing over $3 million. <br />• The proposed San Leandro Senior Center is designed to achieve a LEED Silver <br />certification. <br />• Building and Planning staff are working to put together an ordinance for private projects <br />in 2009 to address Green Building standards, which would include requirements for both <br />commercial and residential development. Staff is awaiting the final disposition of State <br />Assembly bills that may have an impact on the process of adopting mandatory policies by <br />local jurisdictions. In the meanwhile, as of January 2009, all applicable building permit <br />
