In an era where environmental awareness is paramount, South Bay Window Filming is at the forefront of sustainable building solutions. With the City of Cupertino’s adoption of the Bird Safe and Dark Sky Ordinance, South Bay Window Filming offers innovative services to help property owners meet these critical standards while enhancing their spaces.
Is Your Cupertino Property Bird-Safe and Dark Sky Compliance
Understanding the Ordinance
On April 6, 2021, Cupertino’s City Council enacted Chapter 19.102 Glass and Lighting Standards, aiming to protect the natural environment. The ordinance sets forth regulations to improve bird safety and reduce light pollution, both of which have significant environmental and health implications. By addressing the adverse effects of artificial light on wildlife and humans, the ordinance marks an essential step toward a greener future.
Key areas impacted by the ordinance include:
- Bird Safety Requirements: Mandating bird-safe treatments such as opaque glass, fritted glass, exterior screens, and window muntins.
- Dark Sky Standards: Requiring outdoor lighting to be shielded, downward-directed, and limited to specific intensity and color temperature guidelines.
