Architectural Character, Treatment and Materials (cont.) Within a development the following elements shall be considered in the Building Form: d) Adjusting Window Fenestra-

tion —avoid floor-to-ceiling glazing by ensuring bottom window sill heights are placed at a minimum of 24 inches above the floor to block unnecessary solar radiation at foot level. (illustr.) Thermal Bridging —mitigate heat loss through the building envelope by constructing thermally-broken balconies from the building (e.g. ensure wall insulation is continu- ous, minimizing heat loss) (illustr.) or by eliminating exposed slab edges out from the building enve- lope.
