IBO - <strong>Environmental</strong> <strong>and</strong> Health <strong>related</strong> Criteria <strong>for</strong> Buildings<br />
OR<br />
d) Build on site with a lot area of less than 1/7 acre, or with housing density <strong>for</strong> the project<br />
that is equal to or greater than 7 units per acre. For multifamily <strong>buildings</strong>, the average lot size<br />
shall be calculated as the total lot size divided by the number of units.<br />
Notes:<br />
1. Any “non-disturbance” zones must be protected from parked construction vehicles <strong>and</strong><br />
building material storage. Soils compacted by vehicles or stored materials can cause major<br />
difficulties in establishing any new l<strong>and</strong>scaping.<br />
2. Homes on previously developed lots that disturb the entire lot during construction can earn<br />
this credit by meeting the requirements in part c) above.”<br />
Social Responsibility<br />
Noise or dust attenuation during the construction phase as well as further social <strong>criteria</strong><br />
taking into account the interests of affected groups (neighbours, operatives, visitors on site,<br />
or the public in general) are not part of LEED <strong>for</strong> Homes rating system. LEED-NC 2009 takes<br />
into account air pollution prevention measures with respect to dust <strong>and</strong> particulate matter.<br />
10.5. DGNB<br />
Draft <strong>criteria</strong> – residential <strong>buildings</strong> (May 2010)<br />
Apart from <strong>related</strong> issues, the DGNB scheme <strong>for</strong> residential <strong>buildings</strong> summarizes all<br />
construction-site relevant aspects in one sub-category named “Construction Site –<br />
Construction Process (Steckbrief 48)” under the main category “Process Quality” assessing:<br />
1. Low-noise construction sites<br />
2. Low-waste construction sites<br />
3. Low-dust construction sites<br />
4. Avoidance of soil contamination<br />
These four issues are weighted equally within the sub-category “Construction Site –<br />
Construction Process.”<br />
The following analysis assigns these topics to the headings used above to categorise<br />
construction-site <strong>related</strong> effects reverting to resource efficiency (construction waste<br />
management), social impacts (noise, dust, safety,..) <strong>and</strong> environmental impacts (erosion<br />
control,…).<br />
Construction Waste Management<br />
Low-waste construction sites 83<br />
The highest per<strong>for</strong>mance level is achieved in case of<br />
