Site Waste Management Planning

Site Waste Management Plans address two key issues:

Refurbishment Generally

The UK Government is committed to cutting UK CO₂ emissions by 34% by 2020 and by 80% by 2050. Making the plan work to achieve these targets will depend on individuals, businesses and communities play their part in reducing emissions and adapting to change.

Refurbishment of existing buildings will make up the vast majority of the work that will have to be undertaken between now and 2050, new build making up only a very small percentage of the whole.

This page covers new housing but will in due course also cover other new building work.

Code for Sustainable Homes

Nu-Build, Stoke-on-Trent College

The Code for Sustainable Homes was introduced in 2006 to drive a step-change in sutainable home building practice. The Code supports the government target that all new homes will be zero carbon from 2016 and the step changes in Building Regulations Part L leading to this.

White Cross School, HerefordSustainable Construction is a very broad topic which in a website such as this cannot cover everything. We have therefore selected subjects which we believe to be topical and of interest to all sectors of the Construction Industry in the West Midlands.

The subject of Climate Change Sustainability is a complex subject but one that we should all come to understand, because of its influence on our future.
