This document discusses opportunities for reducing waste from construction and refurbishment projects. It highlights several case studies, including retrofitting an existing home and industrial building to be more sustainable, reusing and adapting older buildings like an administrative center, and sourcing building materials locally to reduce waste and emissions from transportation. The document emphasizes the importance of thorough waste management planning, carefully specifying materials, vetting contractor credentials, and considering waste streams as a potential fuel source on large developments.
The document discusses predicting building collapse during fires. It describes analyzing a building's construction type and load-bearing elements, tracing how loads are transferred, and evaluating factors that could accelerate failure. A five-step process is provided: 1) classify construction type, 2) determine structural involvement, 3) identify key load-bearing elements under attack, 4) define weak points, and 5) evaluate time factors to predict and communicate collapse potential. ISO responders must understand building construction and failure mechanisms to properly analyze collapse risk.

Vergroenen van de buitenschil van gebouwen is één van de meest innovatieve en snelst ontwikkelende gebieden van duurzame technologieën met betrekking tot de bebouwde omgeving. Verticaal groen, ook wel bekent als groene gevels, draagt bij aan fijn stof afvang, toenemende biodiversiteit, afname urban heat island effect en bezit o.a. isolerende eigenschappen op gebouwniveau. Het promotieonderzoek van ir. Marc Ottelé heeft geleid tot een methode voor het classificeren (grootte, aantal) van fijn stof deeltjes op bladoppervlakken. Daarnaast is op een theoretische manier benaderd wat de invloed van groene gevels kan betekenen op de isolerende eigenschappen van de muren van gebouwen. Om deze isolerende eigenschappen beter inzichtelijk te maken is een experimentele proefopstelling gebouwd waarin verschillende verticaal groensystemen zijn getest op o.a. het temperatuurverloop door de gevelconstructie. Daarnaast zijn veldmetingen verricht om het effect van een groene buitenspouw op de windsnelheid rondom een gebouw inzichtelijk te maken. Vooral bij living wall systemen blijkt er een significante afname van de windsnelheid plaats te vinden, deze afname levert een gunstige bijdrage aan de isolerende eigenschappen van een gebouw. Duurzaamheid (Sustainability) is een belangrijk aspect in de hedendaagse bouwmethodiek. De hoofdvraag bij veel marktpartijen is dan ook of het gebruik van groene gevels verantwoord is t.a.v. milieubelasting. Om deze vraag te beantwoorden is een ruim opgezette levenscyclus analyse (LCA) doorlopen waarbij op verschillende schaalniveaus inzicht is verkregen in hoeverre verticaal groensystemen een duurzame bouwmethode is.
A facade is generally the exterior front of a building. The word comes from the French meaning "frontage" or "face". A facade can include the front, sides, and rear of a building. Glazing refers to glass used in walls, windows, and doors, and is installed by glaziers. Common types of glazing include curtain walls, structural glazing, skylights, and doors. Facade design considers factors like the building height, location, and span of glass panels.

NBEC 2014 - Conventional Roofs: Measuring Impacts of Insulation Strategy and ...RDH Building Science
This study examined the impacts of insulation strategy and membrane colour on conventional roof performance in Canada. It monitored 9 roof sections with different colour membranes (white, grey, black) and insulation types (stone wool, polyiso, hybrid). Field monitoring found that darker membranes experienced much higher temperatures than lighter ones. Insulation type also impacted temperatures, with stone wool and hybrid strategies showing less peak heating and cooling than polyiso alone. Energy modeling further showed that lighter membranes and stone wool or hybrid insulation led to lower energy use. The study aims to continue monitoring insulation movement, moisture, and aging effects over the long term.

Thermal Bridging of Masonry Veneer Claddings and Energy Code ComplianceRDH Building Science
The document discusses thermal bridging through masonry veneer ties and its impact on effective wall R-values under energy codes. Three-dimensional modeling was used to analyze different tie materials and configurations over concrete, steel stud, and wood framed walls with varying insulation depths. Results showed ties reduced R-values by 5-30% depending in factors like material and holes. Stainless steel ties performed best with under half the reduction of galvanized ties. Shelf angle supports saw reductions of 45-55% without modifications. When configured properly, masonry veneer can provide one of the most thermally efficient cladding attachment strategies.
This document summarizes a study of the performance of a corridor pressurization ventilation system in a 13-story residential building in Vancouver. Measurements found significant variations in ventilation rates between suites, with most under or over-ventilated. The study found that only 8% of intended ventilation air actually reaches the suites, with significant leakage along the ventilation path. Stack effects and wind pressures were also found to influence ventilation rates and overwhelm the mechanical pressures at times. The document recommends direct ventilation of suites and improved compartmentalization of spaces to limit natural pressures and better control ventilation.

Performance of Potential Solutions
Ongoing Research & Field Trials
This document summarizes key differences between window rating standards in North America (NFRC) and Europe (ISO, Passive House). There are differences in boundary conditions, window geometries, calculation methodologies, and treatment of sloped glazing that can lead to different U-value and SHGC ratings for the same window. Simulation results showed centre of glass U-values can vary by up to 23% depending on the standard used, and frame U-values vary by 11-16%. The differences are most pronounced for larger glazing cavities and affect optimal cavity sizes. Understanding these differences is important for high performance window selection.
Presented at the BCBEC Building Smart with Safe and Durable Wall Assemblies Symposium Feb 2, 2017, by Lorne Ricketts.
Ever increasing thermal performance requirements for wood-frame walls have had a dramatic impact on how we build walls. To meet these targets, exterior insulation is becoming more and more common, and methods to support the cladding are required that are strong and rigid, yet do not create significant thermal bridging through the insulation. This presentation discusses the results of recent structural testing of various different arrangements on long fasteners through exterior insulation as a method of supporting cladding while limiting thermal bridging.
Ventilation in Multi-Family Buildings - Summer Camp 2015Lorne Ricketts
This document summarizes a case study on ventilation in a 13-story multi-family building in Vancouver, Canada. Testing found significant variations in ventilation rates between suites, with most under or over-ventilated. It also found higher CO2 levels in lower suites. The study determined the main causes were: duct and corridor leakage reducing airflow to suites by over 90%, and stack effect pressures competing with the mechanical system. The findings suggest natural pressures like stack effect can overwhelm mechanical ventilation in multi-family buildings, particularly in more extreme climates or taller buildings.
Thermal bridges in concrete construction solutions to address energy code co...RDH Building Science
This document discusses the significant thermal impact that uninsulated concrete slab edges and balconies can have on the effective R-value and energy performance of building walls. While balconies make up a small percentage of total wall area, their low R-value of around R-1 can reduce the overall wall R-value by 40-60%. This negatively impacts energy code compliance and increases heating and cooling loads. The document evaluates different solutions for insulating slab edges and balconies, such as structural cut-outs, insulation wraps, and manufactured thermal breaks. Thermal breaks in particular are shown to improve the overall wall R-value and help meet increasing energy code requirements.

It outlines the methodology used, which involves entering 12 months of consumption data and creating a computer model of the building to estimate energy usage and breakdown. While the GENERATION tool itself is not very user-friendly, the document recommends using the methodology but with commercial modelling tools like IES-VE or TAS instead for a more accurate energy audit. In conclusion, it finds the GENERATION project ambitious but that energy audits can be done at various levels of complexity, and may require some expert knowledge to identify savings opportunities accurately.

The STEM program is a step-by-step guide to help small and medium enterprises implement an environmental management system (EMS). An EMS assesses a business's environmental impacts, helps manage them, ensures compliance, and provides benchmarks for improvement. STEM has three levels - Blue, Silver, and Gold - that are compatible with ISO14001 and BS8555 standards. The Blue level involves management commitment, a baseline assessment, identifying significant environmental impacts, drafting a policy, and collecting data. The Silver level builds on this with steps to calculate and reduce carbon footprint, manage impacts, comply with laws, and provide training. STEM helps businesses enhance their green credentials, reduce costs, maintain legal compliance, and prepare for
The document summarizes new UK waste regulations introduced in 2011. It overviews regulations that abolish some existing rules and introduce a two-tier carrier registration system requiring compulsory registration by the end of 2013 for businesses transporting their own waste. New rules also include implementing a waste management hierarchy prioritizing prevention, reuse, and recycling; changes to waste transfer notes now requiring compliance declarations; and additional facility permit conditions regarding waste management practices and odor management plans.
The document summarizes training and certification programs offered by a college's Center for Sustainable Technologies to promote green skills and knowledge. The center offers part-time and work-based courses, short courses, apprenticeships, and online learning to individuals and businesses. Course topics include environmental studies, renewable technologies like solar PV and thermal and heat pumps, retrofitting, and construction. Certification programs range from 15-hour introductory courses to longer programs requiring prerequisites in electrical or plumbing skills. Instructors contact information is provided to answer questions or arrange facility tours.
This document discusses apprenticeships in the UK. Apprenticeships are work-based training programs that last 1-4 years and lead to nationally recognized qualifications. They are available in over 200 industries. There are business benefits to hiring apprentices such as increased productivity, lower costs, and greater employee satisfaction and loyalty. The government funds training costs for apprentices aged 16-18, while employers pay salaries starting at a minimum of £2.60 per hour for those aged 19 and over. Case studies show apprenticeships can save employers money in engineering, construction, IT and business administration within 1-3 years.
The document discusses communicating sustainability initiatives to staff at the Holiday Inn Winchester. It outlines various methods used such as inductions, notice boards, and monthly meetings. Specific initiatives discussed include using a heat exchange system, auto shut-off lights, limiting heating and air conditioning, advising guests on towel reuse, regularly checking equipment, and fully loading dishwashers. Future projects mentioned are more engagement of staff by sharing cost comparisons on notice boards and replacing public area bulbs with dimmable LCD lamps.
Denplan, a dental payment plan provider based in Winchester, employed 350 staff and sought ISO14001 certification for environmental management. They had an existing "Green Team" implementing energy, water, and paper reductions, but it lacked resources. To achieve certification, Denplan established environmental policies, identified impacts, set targets, improved monitoring, and communicated changes company-wide with champions. As a result, over 70% of waste was recycled and energy-efficient lighting was installed, though energy use increased with IT.
This document summarizes several legal updates related to environmental regulations in the UK. Key points include:
- The Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011 will abolish some regulations and introduce changes like a two-tier carrier registration system and updates to waste transfer notes.
- Several agencies have published summaries of responses to consultations on topics like disposal of dredged material and spreading waste on land.
- REACH has added 6 substances to Annex XIV requiring authorization for continued use after sunset dates and is consulting on 7 more.
This document discusses establishing a baseline carbon footprint for an organization's transport emissions. It provides guidance on identifying relevant emission sources, collecting necessary data, and calculating a total carbon footprint. When data is unavailable, extrapolating from secondary sources is recommended. Normalizing the footprint by metrics like emissions per km or per unit of sales enables comparisons of carbon efficiency. Establishing an accurate baseline in a transparent and consistent manner allows an organization to prioritize emission reductions and track progress over time.
The document discusses the sustainable initiatives of a bus and coach company on the Isle of Wight. It outlines their approach to sustainability which includes evaluating environmental impacts, measuring key indicators, developing visions and ideas, and implementing solutions. Some obvious areas of impact are identified as energy and water usage and vehicle fuel usage. Easy wins to pursue are listed such as installing light switches, improving insulation, using toilet restrictors and push taps, reducing vehicle idling, and increasing recycling. Bolder ideas proposed include increasing passenger numbers on buses, meeting customer desires for better service, promoting green credentials, utilizing bike pools and telematics for economic driving, installing intelligent low energy depot lighting, and moving to paperless printers. The
The document discusses sustainable visitor transport options in the New Forest National Park. It notes that the park has more visitors per square kilometer than any other UK national park, with 13.5 million visitor days and over 96% of staying visitors arriving by car. This results in traffic issues. The document examines transport data in Lyndhurst and options like the New Forest Tour bus service, which carried over 18,000 passengers in 2010. It proposes a joint sustainable transport bid between the New Forest and South Downs national parks under the Local Sustainable Transport Fund, with aims of reducing transport impacts and encouraging low carbon options to realize economic potential while improving quality of life and the environment.
Collaboration holds the key to sustainable construction, according to Gary Wilburn. Collaboration involves people coming together to contribute their knowledge and tasks toward a common objective, either out of altruism or job requirements. The modern workplace demands collaboration. Examples are given of sustainable construction projects in the UK that demonstrate successful collaboration, including a new sustainable food factory in Evesham, upgrades at Freshwater Holiday Park in Dorset, and a new "Pepper Pig" attraction at Paultons Park.
The document discusses several eco-friendly building projects completed by Joanna Saady and Ecotecture Ltd. The Elm Farm Research Centre was built in two phases from 1990 to 2009 using ground source heat pumps, solar hot water, rainwater collection, sustainable materials, and efficient lighting. The Replacement Dwelling in Chichester used air-tight construction, mechanical ventilation, solar shading, and certified windows. The Ardingly Barn Conversion achieved near-Passivhaus standards with detailed insulation, air tightness of 1m2/m3/hr, mechanical ventilation, heat recovery, and southern windows. The Eco Sports Pavilion in Hassocks also neared Passivhaus with insulation, air tightness of 1
This document provides an overview of sustainable construction in the UK, including current standards, regulations, and skills needs. It notes that buildings account for over 40% of UK carbon emissions and discusses upcoming "zero carbon" standards. There is a large and growing market for sustainable new builds and retrofitting existing homes to meet legal carbon reduction targets. However, actual building performance often fails to meet standards due to a lack of accredited training and low energy skills among builders. Significant training and skills development will be needed across the construction industry to achieve the UK's 2050 carbon reduction goals through widespread sustainable construction practices.
The document summarizes the efforts of the Portsmouth Marriott Hotel in the UK to improve their environmental sustainability and recycling efforts. It discusses how they increased their recycling rate from 2% to 98% from 2010 to 2011 through various initiatives like new recycling bins, signage, and staff training. It also outlines their goals to be a leader in green hotels and receive awards like the Gold rating from the Green Tourism Business Scheme in recognition of their environmental commitments.
