See “exterior Glass” pages 20-21. <br /> Where strategic reductions to building footprint have been made in <br />order to enhance vegetated open space and habitat, assess site conflicts <br />and include bird safe treatments. <br /> Use soil berms, furniture, landscaping, or architectural features to <br />prevent reflection in glazed building facades. <br />ConsideR eXistinG hAbitAt <br />L ee <br />d <br />L ee <br />d <br />Coordinate with Leed Credits <br />SS 5.1 Site development: Protect or restore Habitat <br />Coordinate with Leed Credits <br />SS 5.2 Site development: Maximize Open Space <br />urban parks attract birds treat windows near habitat
