Green Building and Waste Management
Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of present without compromising the needs of future
generation to meet their own needs.
Sustainability
Sustainable Waste Management • Growing in waste generation & disposal rates will increase
pressures on the environment. • Sustainable waste management aims to address these long
term pressures through:
Recovery Recycling Reuse of resourcesminimization of waste streams management of resources in an environmentally
sound and economically effective manner
Concepts of sustainable building and LEED
requirements
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a rating system devised by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) to evaluate the environmental performance of a building and encourage market transformation towards
sustainable design.
1. Integrative process 2. Location and transportation3. Sustainable sites4. Water efficiency5. Energy and atmosphere 6. Materials and resources 7. Indoor environmental quality8. Innovation 9. Regional priority
The system is credit-based, allowing projects to earn points cross nine basic areas that
address key aspects of green buildings
Based on the number of points achieved, a project earns one of four LEED rating levels
Waste Management In LEED Buildings
• Storage and Collection of Recyclables• Construction Waste Management• Materials Reuse • Waste Stream Audit• Ongoing Consumables• Durable Goods• Facility Alterations and Additions
solid waste management policy
IntentTo reduce the amount of waste and toxins that are hauled to and disposed of in landfills or incineration facilities.
Requirements:Have in place a solid waste management policy addressing the requirements of the waste management credits as mentioned bellow.
• MR Credit 7: Solid Waste Management—Ongoing Consumables
• MR Credit 8: Solid Waste Management—Durable Goods.
• MR Credit 9: Solid Waste Management—Facility Alterations and Additions.
• recycling of all mercury-containing lamps.
Waste Stream Audit
Intent To facilitate the reduction of ongoing waste and toxins generated by building occupants and building operations that are hauled to and disposed of in landfills or incineration facilities.
Requirements • Conduct a waste stream audit of the building’s entire ongoing
consumables waste stream.• Use the audit’s results to establish a baseline that identifies
the types of waste making up the waste stream and the amounts of each type
• Identify opportunities for increased recycling and waste diversion.
