Pilot credit #55 : the FACADE(s)

Katarzyna,

In reading through the credit language steps, it talks about performing calculations on each facade.  Steps for Calculating:  "First separate each building facade into Façade Zone 1 and Façade Zone 2. Façade Zone 1 includes the first 36 feet above grade, measured from grade at all points, as well as 12 feet above any green roof. Façade Zone 2 includes all façade areas above 36 feet. Establish total areas for Façade Zone 1, Façade Zone 2 and for the Adjusted Building Façade Area. Then identify the Material Types present on each façade, the corresponding Threat Factor of each material (for detailed types and associated threat factors, see the Bird Collision Deterrence Material Threat Factors developed by the American Bird Conservancy), and the total area of each Material Type. Lastly, establish the Factored Area for each Zone."

Additionally, credit language says, "All other structures on the site, including, but not limited to handrails, guardrails, windscreens, noise barriers, gazebos, pool safety fencing, bus shelters, band shells, etc. must be constructed entirely of materials with a threat score value of 15 or less."

Hope this helps you.
