Codes & Standards

Development Activities




(HBRC) is the body responsible fordeveloping and disseminatingknowledge, technology and codes &

technical specifications related toconstruction in Egypt.




• HBRC has issued 19 Building Codes&19 Technical Specifications Classified intothe following categories:

Building Codes and SpecificationsBuilding Codes and Specifications

Building ServicesCodes

Building & SafetyCodes

SpecializedCodes

Technical Specifications

• More than 1,000 local and international expertshave participated in code development committees




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.





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.





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

Egyptian Codes under Preparation:

1- The Green Building Code

• The Egyptian Green Building Council has just been

formed recently.

• Among the main responsibilities of this council is to

prepare the Green Building Code and a national green

building accreditation organization system.

2- The Code of Ethics

Work Philosophy

*Defining and determining the causes of urban development problems:- Problems in the laws

- Engineering practicing problems

- Social environment problems

- Local administration problems

*Revising and comparing the Ministry of Housing bill with all the existingand former legislation

*Determining the goals of amendments in each chapter and article of thecurrent laws

*Combining the urban co-ordination law within the unified building Law

Studying Energy Efficient Codes

Studying Use of Biomass resources in Egypt for

domestic energy production

Studying Reuse of Waste Water

•Studying New Green Building (e.g. Toshky Region)

• Structural & architectural elements affecting thermal performance of building under extreme hot arid zones




EGYPTIAN STRATEGIES FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM

Energy Efficient Codes

• Energy Efficiency for residential buildings code,

• Energy Efficiency for commercial buildings code, and

•

Energy Efficiency for governmental buildings 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.

Why green building ?




•The Egyptian Green Building Council (EGBC) has just been formed

•A kickoff meeting and roundtable accompanying the formation the EGBCwas held last January. International recognition from experts worldwidetook place.

•An International conference was held in March 2009 with the NSFcooperation addressing the Green building issues.

•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.

Leadership of HBRC in Green Building

Applications

HBRC has a pioneering role in this field

A Green Building Model was designedand constructed by HBRC at ToshkyProject in Upper Egypt. This Model

incorporated the majority of the GBrequirements





Applications (cont.)In relation to the Green BuildingMovement, HBRC is leading a nationaleffort for new green and affordable

Methods of Construction,

HBRC is Conducting Several Studies onGreen Construction, Environmentally-Friendly Construction Materials andBuilding Systems and Renewable EnergyResources





Applications (cont.)

HBRC has Developed and IssuedSeveral Energy-Efficient Building

Codes that considered theCorner Stones of Future NationalGreen Building Code.




1- Implementing Birth control policies.

2-Rationalizing the use of energy (both in construction & operation).

3-Alternative renewable energy researches are needed.

4-Need for energy efficient and environmentally compatible structures.

5-Need to update the Egyptian energy efficiency code issued by HBRCperiodically.

6-HBRC is carrying out a program in view of producing a green buildingcode.

7-A law is required to enforce the use of solar/ wind energy as a primaryrequirement for construction in the northern coast, the red sea as wellas new cities.

8-Increasing the level of awareness between engagement of foodmarkets and production and energy markets and uses.

Conclusions & FutureConclusions & Future




There is an Urgent Need for Developing an EfficientNational Green Building Code

Educating and Promoting the Green Building Concept at allLevels:ØDevelopment of Training Programs for Professionals,

Contractors,ØDevelopment of Curricula for Schools and Universities,ØDevelopment of Conferences, Workshops and Seminars

in GB AreaØ Media Promotion





Development of Incentive and Credit Protocol for theOwners & Industry

Development of National Rating System (Green Pyramid),

Interaction and intercommunication between differentMinistries to ensure optimum implementation andexecution of the green policies


Promoting Research in the Area of Sustainability and

Green Building,

Encouragement and Involvement of Non-GovernmentOrganizations (NGO’s) and Civil Society
