IBO - Environmental and Health related Criteria for Buildings CSH refers to DTI’s Construction Industry KPI Pack, this series of documents guides the reader through how to set targets for their own projects. To show compliance with issue Man 3, procedures that cover 2 or more of the following items are required (for achieving 1 point) respectively 4 or more of the items listed below (for achieving 2 points): - Monitor, report and set targets for CO 2 production or energy use arising from site activities - Monitor and report CO 2 or energy use arising from commercial transport to and from site - Monitor, report and set targets for water consumption from site activities - Adopt best practice policies 77 in respect of air (dust) pollution arising from site activities (e.g. ‘dust sheets’, regular proposals to damp down the site in dry weather, covers to skips etc.) - Adopt best practice policies 78 in respect of water (ground and surface) pollution occurring on the site - 80% of site timber is reclaimed, re-used or responsibly sourced Eco1 Ecological Value of Site One credit is achieved where compliance is shown with the following requirements: - The construction zone is of low ecological value 79 . - All land outside the construction zone will remain undisturbed by the construction works in areas of ecological value. The construction zone includes any land used for buildings, hard standing, landscaping, site access and any land where construction work is carried out (or land is being disturbed in any other way), plus a 3m boundary in either direction around these areas. It also includes any areas used for temporary site storage and buildings. 77 Further information can be obtained from DTI/BRE publications ‘Control of Dust from Construction and Demolition Activities’ and Pollution Control Guide Parts 1–5 provide good practice guidelines on construction related pollution. 78 Best practice guidelines: PPG 1 – General guide to the prevention of pollution. Environment Agency PPG 5 –Works in, near or liable to affect watercourses. Environment Agency PPG 6 – Working at demolition and construction sites. Environment Agency available at www.netregs.gov.uk 79 Development sites with low ecological value are defined as follows (reference: checklist Eco1 of the CSH, Technical Guide, p.248): a) land which is entirely within the floor plan/s of existing building/s or building/s demolished within the past two years b) land which is entirely covered by other constructions such as sporting hard surfaces, car parking or such constructions which have been demolished within the past two years c) land which is contaminated by industrial or other waste to the extent that it would need decontamination before building d) land which is a mixture of either existing building, hard surfaces and/or contaminated land e) 80% of the land within the development site complies with a)-c) and the remaining 20% of the ground area of the building extend into land which has been either; used for single-crop arable farming for at least five years, OR consists of regularly cut lawns and sports fields Where the site contains any trees or hedges above 1m high or with a trunk diameter greater than 100mm, the site cannot be regarded of low ecological value as well as if there are - any ponds, streams or rivers on, or running through the site - any marsh or other wetland present on the site - any meadows or species-rich grassland present on the site - any heath land, consisting of heather and/or scrub present on the site Final Report 112 31 03 2011
IBO - Environmental and Health related Criteria for Buildings If it is not known exactly where buildings, hard standing, site access, temporary storage and buildings will be located it must be assumed that the construction zone is the development site. The aim of this issue is to discourage the development of ecologically valuable sites. All construction-site relevant issues within the Code for Sustainable Homes (Was 2, Man 1, Man 2 and Eco 1) achieve 7 points at maximum (resulting in an overall weighting of 6.7%). 10.4. LEED for Homes / LEED-NC 2009 Construction Waste Management Waste within LEED for Homes is restricted to construction waste und does not take into account household garbage during the use phase. Management of construction waste is assigned to the main category “Materials and Resources (MR)”. MR 3.1. Construction Waste Management Planning - Prerequiste The mandatory performance level (MR 3.1.Construction Waste Management Planning) is easy to comply with: - Local options of diversion (e.g. recycling, reuse) of all anticipated major constituents of the project waste stream have to be investigated and - The diversion rate for construction waste has to be documented for land clearing and/or demolition, if applicable (e.g., on gut rehab project), separately from the rate for the new construction phase of the project. MR 3.2. Construction Waste Reduction Maximum 3 points are awarded by additional measures for waste reduction and diversion resulting in a weighting of 19 % within “Materials and Resources” (and an overall weighting of 2.2 %). LEED for Homes offers two options to comply with the requirements: a) Reduced construction waste. Generate 2.5 pounds (or 0.016 cubic yards) or less of net waste (not including waste diverted for reclamation or recycling) per square foot of conditioned floor area. Use column 1 or 2 and column 5 of Table 19 to determine the score. b) Increased waste diversion. Divert 25 % or more of the total materials taken off the construction site from landfills and incinerators. Use column 3 or 4 and column 5 of Table 19 to determine the score; calculate the percentage using either weight or volume. Note: Land clearing and demolition waste (e.g. from removal of preexisting structures on the site) should not be counted in this calculation. Table 19: Table to determine the score for increased waste diversion 80 Amount to landfills and incinerators Reduced Construction Waste Increased Waste Diversion Points Pounds/ft² Cubic Percentage Percentage yards/1,000 ft² waste diverted 4.0 25.5 100% 0% 0.0 80 LEED for Homes Rating System, p.84 Final Report 113 31 03 2011
