CITC14H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 13: Hardscape, Green Infrastructure, Site Plan
Policy
●Green infrastructure / living green infrastrucutre / nationalized
infrastrucutre/ blue green infrastrucutre
●In OP, we use the term = …. Includes national heritage system and how it
functions as a massive mititgation system, parklands, street trees, green
roots,
●E.g. promoting green infrasturue to compliment infrastruce
●Weeather flow management policy - 2002 --- 100 year on how to deal with
stormwater in Toronto
●Pulled in existing polices and created performance measures in the green
standards based on existing intiates (bird-friendly,etc)
Air Quality -
●Meant to reduce automobile parking, reduce urban heat effect, thermal
heating
●E.g. pic - reduce amount of use of roads
●Using permable pavements good things
Green roofs
●City Hall -- key to improving energy consumption, etc
●400 new green roots in toronto -
●Unforeseen effect - they exist on tall buildings --ducks are starting mess on
these roots -- chicks flesh -- ducks falling from skies -- green roofs are
attracting them but getting down is the challenge
Air quality
●Improving air quality - require white or light concerte
●Light color interlocking pavers
●Photovolatic cells to shade hardscape ---
Applicable law --- ontario building code has a list of legislations called applicable
law - if what is found is not met then building divsion can withhold building
permit from developers. Applicable law
Site plan drawings -- considered applicable law --- everything required in TGS --
LEED Potential credits
●TGS is compatible with LEED

Includes national heritage system and how it functions as a massive mititgation system, parklands, street trees, green roots, E. g. promoting green infrasturue to compliment infrastruce. Weeather flow management policy - 2002 --- 100 year on how to deal with stormwater in toronto. Pulled in existing polices and created performance measures in the green standards based on existing intiates (bird-friendly,etc) Meant to reduce automobile parking, reduce urban heat effect, thermal heating. E. g. pic - reduce amount of use of roads. City hall -- key to improving energy consumption, etc. 400 new green roots in toronto - Unforeseen effect - they exist on tall buildings --ducks are starting mess on these roots -- chicks flesh -- ducks falling from skies -- green roofs are attracting them but getting down is the challenge. Improving air quality - require white or light concerte.
