CLEAN ENERGY will
incorporate use of site materials, and
reuse second hand material. It will
minimise waste by understanding the
manufacturing size when designing components
and is designed for low-cost efficient
deconstruction rather than demolition.
This will involve considering the compatibility
of materials to increase their quality
when recycled, such as by minimising
the use of composites which are hard
to separate. Material selection will
be guided by third |
party accreditation
and testing, and will be biased towards
durable materials, long lasting components
and recycled primary materials. The
building will use natural renewable
materials but will not preclude the
use of advanced materials such as self
compacting concrete. Close attention
will be paid to FSC approval of timber
sources; obtaining Zero Ozone Depleting
Potential (ZODP)
material and low greenhouse gas products
to reduce carbon and ozone impact. So
far as can be identified, allergenic
and carcinogenic material will be avoided. |
| Funding and Planning
Permission are currently being sought
for the CLEAN ENERGY building. |
