Construction Waste Management Divert from landfill through recycling or reuse 50% of waste from: § Concrete/Masonry § Carboard § Plastics § Metals § Wood
Carbon Neutral Transportation Goals: • Net zero carbon impact in operational phase • Account for travel related emissions Guests Staff Goods / Fuel / Materials / Waste
Brando Boundary Options Boundary 1: All carbon associated with travel on the island Boundary 2: Transportation from Tahiti to The Brando Boundary 3: International transportation to Tahiti
Boundary 1: Tetiaroa § Bikes provided for all guests § All motorized vehicles are electric Boundary 2: Tahiti § Docks and airport within 500 m of public transport § Shuttle to Air Tetiaroa from ICT international terminal § Staff incentives for using public transportation § Carbon-offset purchase for inter-island transport Boundary 3: International § Guest option to purchase carbon offsets
Issues Encountered in Sustainable Goals § Tight insulated envelope vs traditional breathable design Risk of humidity damage Cost/benefit of insulation with low marginal cost of SWAC May encourage more AC use § Window design Solar gain and conductivity loss vs light energy savings § Closing the water loop Effluent to potable Administrative opposition Rationale of roof rain water capture (lens reservoir) § Difficulty and cost of closing energy gap Transportation and boundary definition are key § Limits to going green in remote island locations Local recycling capability Availability of reused, recycled or local materials Politics (pandanus monopoly), availability
