Hi everyone,
has anybody expercience with LEED Projects in Switzerland or Austria? What challenges did you find out regarding P1? We have two projects in Vienna and Zürich. In my opinion the requirements for P1 (EPA) should be standard practise in these countries. I checked the standards in Switzerland and they are very high, but i wonder if i missed something as we are doing it for the first time.

In Switzerland you're looking at the sia directive. http://www.sia.ch/produktevoransicht/i431_1997_d.pdf
This should pretty much cover all the points and looks very similar to CGP. Here's a short discription of sia http://www.lu.ch/download/afu/ap/2/mb_Baustellenentw%C3%A4sserung.pdf
I've not looked into it in detail and you'll have to compare it the the CGP requirements.
This is not standard in Germany, where even though they sometimes have the laws in place, you'll still have to draw up a plan which is at least as comprehensive as the CGP dictates it should be. Although, there are the occational enforcement officers comming to check up, they don't deliver reports and I've not seen any photo documentation. I'm drawing up custom Dust and ESC plans to implement in Germany. I find the laws regulate very well how much stormwater is allowed from the site...but has very little regulating what happens during construction.
A good CGP type plan to go on is http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=2&ved=0CBYQFjAB&url=...
This you can use and it covers all the points except dust. Have fun.
