l a402 f all 2016 in VI SI BL E B A S E LI NE DAT A REVI EW, COLLECT, CALCULATE PROJECT 2 image from: LA 402, fall 2014 student work i ntroducti on The second project in the technical module will focus on establishing baseline data for specific areas of campus. This project is intended for you to get a handle on how campus landscapes are currently performing, understand basic methodology of calculating performance measures, and to tease out potential campus sites for future design efforts. Before starting this work, it is important to understand that there are not simple or direct methods for calculating baseline data. While there are some helpful internet calculators to use, most of the work will rely on emulating methods established in the case studies. This work requires an ability to dissect case studies and an ability to work through problems to a point of resolution. scope of wor k Working in teams of two and threes (one team of three, five teams of two), you are to establish baseline data for a pair of campus sites. There are six pairs of sites and teams will select pairs on Wednesday. STEP 1 Review your site(s) in person and refine site boundaries. Initial outlines on Google Maps are based on aerial maps only. Adjust boundaries to include peripheral areas, walkways, drainage paths or other aspects that make your site. Using an online map or resources available on Polylearn, create a precise outline for your sites. Use as accurate base map as you can find and take as accurate measurements as you can given the time constraints of the project. STEP 2 Review the list of proposed metrics to evaluate as well as various methodologies for calculating performance. Review the Landscape Performance: A Guidebook for Metric Selection. Additional resources include review of the Case Studies, the Fast-Fact library or the LAF Guidebook. Select 4-6 metrics to analyze for both of your sites. Sites were paired to establish compare and contrast scenarios across two projects. STEP 3 Calculate performance. You are to keep a record of your methodology and your sources. Establish an estimate for the selected metrics and record the outcomes. STEP 4

Create a simple graphic on 11x17 sheets. The first page should clearly identify your site, site boundaries and outcomes. Use subsequent pages to document the process and methods utilized. deli verabl es + schedul e The following is required: 1. A 11x17 package as noted above.. 2. Participation in the peer-review session on Monday, October 10th. The following dates should serve as a guideline for your work: Friday, October 7 Desk crits to review sites, preliminary metric selections and methodology Monday, October 10 Peer-review session and desk crits.

Baseline Data. Patrick Kelty - Kimberly Emmen - LA 402 - Fall Quarter 2016 Introduction and Findings: The campus sites for this technical module were two parkings lots; parking lot A is a staff parking lot located off of California Blvd near O Neill Green and parking lot B is a general parking lot off of Via Carta near the John L. Merriam Irrigation Practices Field. Both parking lots were found to have a high percentage of impermeable paving. Storm water from both parking lots has the potential to add millions of gallons of polluted runoff into storm drains with outlets in Brizzolara Creek. The trees in both parking lots were of varying species and sizes, but overall it was noted that there were many older trees. According to the National Tree Benefit Calculator, older trees are less effective at capturing CO2. The rainfall map (below) shows rainfall data over the past 146 years (1870-2015) collected and tracked by the Cal Poly weather station. It indicates that rainfall has fluctuated a great deal, but shows the average was 21.82 inches, with the past 5 years falling well below that average. The Method: The initial analysis was done by site visit survey, where we counted parking spaces (and types) and measured diameter of trees. We then analyzed the data collected to calculate base line metrics. The rainfall data was calculated using the Cal Poly Irrigation Training and Research Center website (http://www.itrc.org/databases/precip/) where we located a rainfall graph. The tree data was calculated using the National Tree Benefit Calculator (http://www.treebenefits.com/calculator/index.cfm ). Each tree was calculated for its total CO2 reduced in the atmosphere (which is a combination of sequestered and avoided) and the total storm water intercepted. It was also noted that there was no functioning irrigation at either parking lot, therefore the base line irrigation water usage is zero. Do The Math:

The Score So Far: Parking low A sits on the western side of campus. The lot is characteristic of many parking areas on campus, being dominated by impermeable asphalt. Very little shade is available in the lot, with vegetated areas pushed to the edges. There are several large trees on the site however, some larger than 4ft in diameter. There is one historically significant tree on the western side of the lot which commemorates the 1906 Cal Poly graduating class. 82,004 sq.ft. 74,080 sq.ft. 7,924 sq.ft. 1,116,447 gal.

The Score So Far: Parking lot B is part of Cal Polys more northerly parking areas, and shares use between commuting students, resident students, and faculty. Although there are vegetated medians in the lot they provide little shade. Existing irrigation infrastructure appears to be abandoned in place. 201,088 Sq.
