other site considerations
More attributes to consider during this phase that can affect tenant operating costs are:
Landscaping (non-native or adapted landscapes may use large amounts of water or require use of toxic chemicals for maintenance).
Roof materials (hardscape and roofing materials may contribute to the heat island effect).
Lighting (exterior lighting and site lighting may contribute to light pollution).
Parking (parking areas often have negative environmental impacts, contributing to storm water runoff and the heat island effect).
