Sustainable Buildings Policy Sustainable Buildings Briefing note Guidance to Project Managers on waste Route map

Framework

Sustainable Buildings Policy:

5.2 Promote and adopt best practice:

5.2.2 Ensure the specification for new build, refurbishment and maintenance projects… sets targets for key performance indicators, such as energy and water use and waste production.

5.2.7 Ensure waste produced during building projects is minimised and

that all projects have a site waste management plan that incorporates the requirements of the Demolition Protocol.

5.2.8 Ensure materials have a minimal impact on the environment and set a target of at least 10% of the materials value of projects is derived from recycled content.

5.2.9 Set a target for all new buildings and major refurbishments to achieve an “Excellent” BREEAM rating with a minimum rating of “Very Good” where there are good and explicit reasons why an excellent rating could not be achieved.

Framework

Sustainable Buildings Policy:

5.3 Maintain and develop the University in a sustainable manner:

5.3.4 Ensure there are sufficient recycling facilities available and they are clearly marked.

5.3.5 Ensure there are adequate storage and collection facilities for other wastes,

such as chemicals, and clinical, radioactive and other hazardous wastes.

Purpose KPI Target Score

Waste To measure the amount of waste removed from site during the construction processso that we can target reductions in wastage

Construction: Waste Removed (m3) / £100k spent

<10 7.6

KPI

Targets also for:• Energy use (Amount of CO2 Produced (kg) / £100k spent)

• Water use (Amount of Water Used (m3) / £100k spent)

• Timber use (% FSC Timber Used)

• Commercial vehicle movement (Total Number Commercial Vehicle Movements / £100k spent)

• CCS (Average Score)
