IBO - <strong>Environmental</strong> <strong>and</strong> Health <strong>related</strong> Criteria <strong>for</strong> Buildings<br />

with a net coverage, coverage of the containers with nets outside the operation hours of the<br />

building site.<br />

Wetting of the waste groups during reloading, current cleaning of the free pavements <strong>and</strong> parking 5<br />

areas<br />

Installation of blinds <strong>and</strong> dust shield nets<br />

5<br />

Fencing <strong>and</strong> installation of overhead barriers of the entire building site range including pavement,<br />

parking area, cycle lane <strong>and</strong> green areas<br />

Use of crane containers instead of debris chutes in order to avoid noise <strong>and</strong> dust 5<br />

Max. 30 points are achievable, m<strong>and</strong>atory requirements are not defined.<br />

Construction Waste Management<br />

The target values <strong>for</strong> sorting waste shall exceed the established practice of statutory<br />

requirements. But not only the utilization-ratio of building wastes shall be improved by<br />

detailed separation already at the building site. Emissions (<strong>and</strong> noise) resulting from<br />

transports of waste from the site shall be reduced by the use of large-scale containers.<br />

Waste Management at the end of lifetime of a building is assessed by using a so-called<br />

“disposal indicator” (see chapter LCA).<br />

<strong>Environmental</strong> Impacts<br />

Besides air pollution (resulting from transports to <strong>and</strong> from the construction site),<br />

environmental impacts to soil <strong>and</strong> biodiversity are taken into account. The ecological value of<br />

the site is assessed (be<strong>for</strong>e construction will start) <strong>and</strong> measures ensuring biodiversity after<br />

completion of construction activities are awarded (A2.2. Quality of construction site).<br />

<strong>Environmental</strong> impacts to ground water or water courses on site are not assessed.<br />

Social Indicators<br />

Noise <strong>and</strong> dust attenuation are primarily considered as loadings on the neighbourhood.<br />

Noise emissions are reduced by lowering the truck traffic volume to <strong>and</strong> from the site.<br />

Additional noise limitation requirements <strong>for</strong> construction machines are not integrated into the<br />

assessment as statutory occupational <strong>health</strong> protection measures cover this topic anyway.<br />

Measures to avoid dust are defined <strong>for</strong> almost all relevant processes at the building site<br />

leading to a noticeable reduction of dust emissions as demonstrated in several pilot projects<br />

in Vienna 95 . Occupational safety <strong>and</strong> <strong>health</strong> protection measurements have not been<br />

included into the assessment of construction sites due to high regulation requirements in<br />

Austria 96 .<br />

95 Thürnlhof, Wien-Simmering: approximately 900 dwellings at two building sites<br />

Kabelwerk, Wien-Meidling: new quarter with approximately 900 dwellings, offices, a hotel, <strong>and</strong> culture <strong>and</strong> leisure<br />

facilities; Weyringerstr., Wien-Wieden: small-size residential building<br />

96 ArbeitnehmerInnenschutzgesetz (ASchG): Bundesgesetz über Sicherheit und Gesundheitsschutz bei der<br />

Arbeit, zuletzt geändert durch BGbl. II, Nr.221/2010<br />

Bundesgesetz über die Koordination bei Bauarbeiten (Bauarbeitenkoordinationsgesetz - BauKG), BGBl. I Nr.<br />

37/1999, zuletzt geändert durch BGBl. I Nr. 42/2007<br />
