Implement a quality control program to ensure that construction waste from facility alterations or additions is not mishandled. Perform periodic checks, and generate reports during the performance period to ensure that the target waste-diversion rate is being met and that the correct information is being collected for all waste leaving the site.
Track all applicable material waste generated during the performance period (diverted and not diverted from landfills and incinerators), and transfer this data to the LEED form prior to submitting your LEED application.
Hold a contractor and subcontractor orientation meeting at the outset of construction so that everyone knows how to sort and track construction waste. Review your basic expectations for the project and the jobsite.
Check with the contractor or hauler to see if either already has a system in place to track construction waste. If so, can that tracking process be repurposed to track waste in the manner required for LEED? If not, develop a tracking system. See the Documentation Toolkit for an example that can be customized and formatted for your project. The data will then need to be copied into the LEED Online form.
If facility additions or alterations will involve construction specifications, be sure to incorporate all construction waste requirements in the specs.
Make sure your facility alteration and addition activities qualify as an alteration or addition based on LEED definitions, which follow in the table below.
Provide building managers with manuals and guidance for all fixtures and fittings, water-reuse technologies, onsite water treatment systems and unconventional products.
