WE Credit 1.2: Water Efficient Landscaping: No Potable Water Use
or No Irrigation
1 Point in addition to WE Credit 1.1
Use Permeable Asphalt on the middle of the parking areas in conjunction with other water collection methods. Pipe the water to a holding tank under the ramp to Irrigate greenery during droughts.

SS Credit 6.1: Storm water Design: Quantity Control
1 Point
Use valves in the piping that leads to the storage tank. Will have a diversion pipe that goes to an external source if there is too much water or it is not needed.

EA Credit 2: On-Site Renewable Energy
1–3 Points
Use solar panels to power everything that is involved with the parking lot. Batteries store the power for night and clouded days. An inverter changes the power so it can be used. The batteries are the biggest problem with this system. First they are expensive. Second they can get a “memory” if the battery is not fully discharged before charging. This takes many cycles. The Batteries that were chose are Deep Cycle Lead-Acid. There were chosen because of their ability to with stand frequent discharges.

Started Building scale model today.

I have chosen another street light. It is shorter and shoul work.Same company as before. Model Num.PL-3003.

Got more information today. Figured out a bunch of different small details about my project. I am going to change the lights because I added another floor.

I missed a missd a bunch of posts because i was using my lap top for the Solid Edge cad program. it is done. and looks sweet. that is all

The streets lights that i am using are model number J-SL026 from WSE http://www.wsetech.com/road-light.php. They are solar powered and look futuristic.
