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 />
