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 adequate storage and collection facilities for other wastes, such as chemicals, and clinical, radioactive and other hazardous wastes.

Case Study: Mountbatten • ECS/ORC • Major fire (Nov 05) • Completion date: Summer 2008 Site management: • Costain § Demolition (about 5, 000 t reused on site) • Bovis § Environment management plan § Environmental Aspects & Impacts Register § KPIs § Considerate Contractors Scheme § Site audit

Mountbatten KPI Waste Purpose KPI Target Score To measure the amount of waste removed from site during the construction process so that we can target reductions in wastage Construction: <10 Waste Removed (m 3) / £ 100 k spent 7. 6 Targets also for: • Energy use (Amount of CO 2 Produced (kg) / £ 100 k spent) • Water use (Amount of Water Used (m 3) / £ 100 k spent) • Timber use (% FSC Timber Used) • Commercial vehicle movement (Total Number Commercial Vehicle Movements / £ 100 k spent) • CCS (Average Score)

Mountbatten Considerate contractor scheme audit Environment (4/5) • Noise restriction • Hoarding • Risk assessments & induction • Waste monitored & segregated • Environmental policy working well • No energy saving measures on site (although corporately energy use is well controlled) Score per section Score references 1 Major noncompliance 4 High level beyond compliance 2 Minor noncompliance 5 Exceptional measures taken 3 Compliance

Case study: Faraday • 1950 s iconic building • £ 20 M refurbishment • School of Civil Engineering & Environment • BREEAM ‘Excellent’
