The site itself
Construction activity pollution control is planned (the mandatory prerequisite: erosion, dust, waterways)
Rainwater management on site (capture, infiltrate or reuse rather than discharge)
Heat-island reduction is designed (reflective/vegetated roofs, shaded hardscape)
The prerequisite-heavy category
Outdoor water use reduction is designed (native planting, efficient irrigation)
Indoor water use reduction targets a meaningful cut versus baseline (low-flow fixtures)
Water metering covers major uses
