Please provide insight as to the type & level of documentation required to pursue such an ID credit. Title Pursuit of Company\'s Mission Zero objectives through the application of sustainability programs to new building construction and operation. Credit Intent To incorporate the building into the Owner\'s Company Mission Zero objectives, the new facility has been designed & will be operated under the site\'s ISO systems. This includes the application of the Owner\'s unique corporate programs; QUEST, EcoSense and Ecometrics, to ensure the new facility is operated to high standards of sustainable practice. These proprietary programs form part of the Owner\'s Mission Zero program to reduce the footprint of a manufacturing facility to a virtual zero point by 2020. The project is the first in Asia to operate under such programs, covering all aspects of waste, materials & utility reduction as well as addressing less tangible social aspects of sustainability. Credit Requirements Consideration of the requirements of operating the new facility under the Company\'s Mission Zero programs has been applied in a holistic manner to the design. The choice of pursuing the LEED certification for the building was a key aspect of this approach, other considerations were the overall building design to incorporate a natural ventilation system, submetering of utilities, drainage system, improved staff facilities, etc Project Approach The building & all operations will be under the company\'s ISO systems and Mission Zero initiatives. These programs have been operating since 1998 for the current factory. The programs to be applied under Mission Zero are: ISO9000 Internationally recognized Quality Assurance program ISO14000 Internationally recognized environmental management system where all environmental aspects are encompassed, managed for environmental responsibility, audited & verified. The management system is used to administer all the sub-programs as follows: Ecometrics Comprehensive monitoring of the utilities / materials usage of activities in the facility & relating these to output of the plant. The program facilitates benchmarking, driving & verify of results in the pursuit of the Mission Zero goal. It is utilized to drive, monitor & demonstrate reduction in resource usage for the output of the operation and target of reducing the footprint of the operation to virtually zero by 2020. Materials usage & percentage recycled content Utility Usage & percentage renewable usage Waste generated & percentage recycled Transportation Energy costs QUEST System of financial accounting of the waste reduction programs which operates from a benchmark point to reduce costs of waste by 10% per annum The program monitors performance in the following areas Internal Off-Quality External Off-Quality Correction Costs Process Waste Material Usage Variances Energy Costs - Renewable / Nonrenewable Inventory Losses Packaging Costs Non-Quality related correction costs EcoSense A program to drive less measurable but important aspects of sustainability addressing areas such as Operation to recognized Quality & Environmental standards (ISO9000 & ISO 14000) Sustainability Awareness of Shareholders; Employees, Customers, Suppliers, Neighbors Safety standard improvements Transportation impacts - commuting/business travel/supply chain Sociometrics - monitoring of the efforts to improve the social aspects of sustainability Waste & Energy Reduction Projects - encouraging both large & small scale improvement projects to reduce Emissions Reduction - auditing of all facility emissions Life Cycle Assessment programs The intent of all of these company initiatives area a comprehensive strategy w/ triple bottom line quantifiable benefits beyond the manufacturing industry standard - documentation of metric results are available for all of these programs.
