Sustainable Design and Construction for Industrial Construction: Implementation Resources

IR250-3, Sustainability Design and Construction in Industrial Construction: Implementation Resources

Contains four (4) tools to help evaluate sustainability.

1. Checklist for Sustainable Construction Job Sites – to help assess the sustainability of industrial construction projects. 
2. Quick Start Guide – This guide is a tool organized into 13 steps spread across the front end planning, design and construction phases of a project designed to help organize the startup of a sustainability program on a new project. The guide is intended to be used to create an action plan based on the policy and direction determined by the Maturity Model Matrix. 
3. Maturity Models – uses a matrix format to map the key phases of an industrial construction project against progressive levels of sustainability awareness and implementation. This model was developed for use at both the corporate level and project level. 
4. Industrial Sustainability Index Metric (ISIM) – is a proposed method for measuring the sustainability of construction materials as they move through the supply chain. Note: This ISIM is still in the development stage at the completion of the work of Research Team 250.
