This approach limits the impact of the built environment on the natural environment, while sensitivity to the location of building activities helps to prevent urban sprawl and preserves natural resources.</p>
<p>Best practice strategies include all aspects of green building and design with an added focus on those that jointly promote energy efficiency and resiliency in keeping with the State of New Jersey policy objectives. The Manual organizes best practice strategies according to an operational framework based on a design-build-operate-evaluate process. Each strategy includes a short explanation or definition, implementation recommendations, New Jersey specific examples (when available), and sections on strategy benefits, costs, resiliency (if applicable), and additional resources.</p>[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure="1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4" _builder_version="4.14.8" background_size="initial" background_position="top_left" background_repeat="repeat" width="90%" max_width="1200px" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="1_4" _builder_version="4.14.8" custom_padding="||||false|false" global_colors_info="{}" custom_padding__hover="|||"][et_pb_blurb title="Design" use_icon="on" font_icon="&#xf568;||fa||900" icon_color="#75C044" image_icon_background_color="#ffffff" image_icon_width="48px" _builder_version="4.14.8" header_level="h2" background_size="initial" background_position="top_left" background_repeat="repeat" image_icon_custom_padding="25px|25px|25px|25px|false|false" text_orientation="center" border_radii_image="on|100%|100%|100%|100%" border_color_all_image="#f7f7f7" use_circle="on" use_circle_border="on" circle_border_color="#f7f7f7" circle_color="#ffffff" global_colors_info="{}" image_icon_background_color__sticky_enabled="#7EBEC5" image_icon_background_color__sticky="#7EBEC5"][/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_toggle title="Operational Tools" icon_color="#75C044" toggle_icon="&#xe035;||divi||400" _builder_version="4.14.9" _module_preset="default" custom_margin="||0px||false|false" custom_padding="||||false|false" global_colors_info="{}"]<ul>
