Sustainable Development and Construction Sustainable Development Sustainable Construction Sustainable Communities Environmental Social Economic Triple Bottom Line

Sustainable Construction
Buildings use 46% of all energy – up to 70% in major cities
Construction uses 53% of primary materials
Construction has second biggest environmental footprint after food
13 million tonnes of materials delivered and not used
90 million tonnes of waste – 3 times domestic
21% of all hazardous waste

The NWDA Sustainability Standard

less carbon, less waste, more jobs

This project is to give small construction firms in the North West the knowledge to better manage their carbon and waste impacts.
Small firms need this knowledge to win more work, make buildings greener, create new jobs, and play their part in our journey to a new, low-carbon prosperous economy. This project will assist 200 small and medium-sized firms, safeguard 300 jobs and help create a further 300 jobs in the North West.
Northwest Construction Knowledge Hub

3 year NW Operations Programme funded (ERDF and NWDA)
Builds on support available to the construction sector
New and additional activity to support resource efficiency and sustainability focusing on construction SMEs in the NW
A range of partner organisations with a wealth of knowledge:
Expertise embedded within Higher Education Institutions
Brokering and provision of bespoke business support

Partners include:
CCI / University of Salford
UCLAN
University of Liverpool
BRE
Urban Vision
In-depth assistance to:
Improve environmental performance
Reduce the use and waste (including CO 2 ) of energy and resources.

The Project:
promotes knowledge transfer between HEIs and Industry to develop innovative products, services and construction practices to reduce waste and carbon emissions;
builds capacity within SMEs so that they become more profitable, more productive and economically stable;
assists local construction enterprises to adopt sustainable approaches in design and delivery; helping to embed principles of recycling, waste management and carbon reduction in all aspects of design, procurement, construction and demolition;
helps to minimise waste, maximise recycling and reduce carbon emissions at all stages of the construction process.

Primary Policy Objective – Carbon Policy – reduce carbon emissions from buildings – zero net carbon post 2020 Goal to minimise the use of fossil fuels used by buildings in heating, lighting and ventilation by either:
reducing the requirement for energy overall, or
using non-fossil fuels such as wind, solar or other renewable sources

Energy Generated from Waste

Primary Policy Objective – Waste Policy – divert waste from landfill sites – zero net waste post 2020 This can be done by either
Reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill by minimising the use of materials, the reuse, on-site or off site of materials, recycling waste or using waste for energy recovery, or
Using materials that have been made from other peoples recycled waste

Waste – Potential Actions

Secondary Policy Objective – Whole Life Value Policy – achieving value for money from projects The Whole Life Value of a development takes into account many things including the costs of acquiring it (including consultancy, design and construction costs, and equipment), the costs of operating it and the costs of maintaining it over its whole life through to its eventual disposal

Secondary Policy Objective – User Satisfaction & Comfort Policy – ensuring that developments deliver buildings that support the activity that goes on inside them through good design and well managed buildings. User Satisfaction and Comfort are driven by a wide variety of issues from aesthetics, management and control of lighting and heating, movement in and around the building and other issues that confront users. This is similar in some ways to Place Shaping and Adaptation, but it regards the specific building and the people inside it as the core issue, rather than how the building fits in its surrounding area.
