Best Practice of this action
Resources
- See a list of green building frameworks, which include codes, standards (including the SB 2030 energy standard), rating systems with certification, and guidelines with verification.
- See how the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board uses renewable power in park projects.
- Learn about green roofs and other techniques in the Green Infrastructure in Parks Guide (EPA, 2017).
- Turning on all of your park field lighting in phases can cut electric bills in half due to eliminating electric demand charges that can equal the cost of the electricity used. Also note that you might be paying in the range of $30/month in an individual electric meter fee in small park structures and that a small PV panel and storage could be a cost-effective alternative.
