HBRC & its Role in Sustainable Design, Non-Conventional Materials & Green Building
Procedure for Egyptian Code Issuance
1- Forming a permanent committee through a ministerial decree naming thechairman, members, and technical secretariat.
2-This is proposed by HBRC which scrutinizes the choice of members fromvarious universities, research institutes, consultants, industry, and NGO's.
3-For some specific codes, international members are included on theircommittees.
4-The secretariat is usually chosen from HBRC staff members.
5-Regular meetings take place in which they draft the outline of the code
6-General rules of a thumb apply where the code should abide to aninternational standard after taking into account the Egyptian needs andspecific requirements that suit us, e.g. our climate, our available rawmaterials, etc.

Procedure for Egyptian Code Issuance
7-Cross revision then takes place where the groups revise the work producedby each other.
8-A first draft is then reached, where the whole committee meets together andthoroughly revises the code.
9-The code is then printed as a final draft and distributed to concernedparties, especially University and Research Institutes Professors andconsulting offices as well as companies working in the field of the consideredcode, etc.
10-They then submit their criticism if any, to the committee before beinginvited for a public seminar attended by the committee members to brief thedifferent chapters of the code and then respond to the enquiries by thestakeholders.
11-All comments are reviewed and filtered before being applied to theprepared draft.

Procedure for Egyptian Code Issuance
12-The final copy of the code would be ready after the issuing of theministerial decree.
13-Later, the code would be printed and sold at the HBRC premises or atuniversities and venues of some relevant conferences held nationwide.
14-This whole step is repeated on regular basis where the issued code has tobe updated every 5 years in average.
15-HBRC offers periodical training courses for the code

•Green design has a variety of benefits among which are:•Reduces energy and water consumption,
•Conserves natural resources (metals, wood, stone, etc.),•Increases productivity (work, schools, home),
•Improves health (reduce likelihood of asthma, allergies and otherenvironmentally related illnesses),•Reduces generation of solid waste,
•Reduces the amount of greenhouse gas,•Reduces strain on infrastructure (storm water pipes),
•Reduces liability and•Overall positive impact on the Egyptian resources and economyand population health.
•It is very important to start familiarizing the people with the greenbuilding concept and to be pioneers in this filed worldwide.

•HBRC is about to be handled a village to apply green building conceptson as a pilot project for more than 400 villages spread nationwide.
•The Egyptian Green Building Code Committees will start their work soon.
• An Egyptian rating system (Green Pyramid) is on its way to be announcedadopting a system similar to the LEED & BREEAM rating systems.
