ADPL9
Least Vehicle, Most Load For any transportation task, select the least adequate vehicle that is available. Determine “least” by criteria of embedded energy, carbon footprint and minimal excess capacity. Plan and assign vehicle use to achieve the most benefit possible from each trip, especially avoiding trips made only to deliver vehicles to a point of next need. Include bicycles and other human-powered vehicles in evaluating candidate vehicles per task.
Patterns for Resource Inventory Planning – IVPL IVPL1
Efficiency Assessment Make an assessment of building usage efficiency a component of the ongoing plan. Establish and charge an appropriate authority with maintenance and evaluation of the assessment, and with arbitration of final decisions on building usage issues. Couple this tool with a Building Omnibus of the building stock.
IVPL2
Building Omnibus Adopt standards for building construction, outfitting, performance, operation, maintenance and decommissioning. Conduct a survey of all existing buildings with respect to these criteria and assemble these documents into a building omnibus that will be maintained as a tool for facilities management and an ongoing component of the campus plan. As a part of this master document, include statements of life cycle and replacement date, renovation cycle and candidacy for addition or conversion to other uses. Incorporate in this omnibus a means of highlighting building deficiencies with respect to adopted standards and a plan and schedule for their correction.
IVPL3
Land Inventory Continuously maintain a legal and descriptive inventory of College land, and of adjacent tracts of interest to the College. Employ GIS and other tools to record this inventory and to make it readily available to the community.
IVPL4
Infrastructure Survey Conduct, record and maintain a complete survey of infrastructure, with particular attention to underground utilities. Make this information available to all who may be involved in future maintenance, repair or new construction work.
