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:
5.2.2Ensure 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.
5.2.8Ensure 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.
5.2.9Set 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:
5.3Maintain and develop the University in a
sustainable manner:
5.3.4Ensure there are sufficient recycling facilities
available and they are clearly marked.
5.3.5Ensure there are adequate storage and
collection facilities for other wastes, such as
chemicals, and clinical, radioactive and other
hazardous wastes.
