The Environmental
Performance Guide for Building (EPGB) details the environmental issues
that should be considered at all stages of a construction project from
strategic planning through to design, construction and operation to ensure
that the finished product is a high performance building. Integrating
EPGB into our project delivery practices will help ensure buildings are
functional, and healthier to work in as well as energy and resource efficient.
WHO WILL
USE EPGB
As
required by Premiers’
Memo 2003-2 High Environmental Performance for Buildings, Government
agencies are now required to incorporate the requirements of the Environmental
Performance Guide for Buildings in their Asset
Strategies, and in subsequent project delivery briefs for buildings.
This will establish high environmental performance outcomes and deliver
lower operating costs for NSW Government buildings.
- Government
agencies to set project goals and specific environmental briefs for
building projects
- Project
managers to set briefs and monitor design development
- Designers
to review the full scope of design strategies
- Builders
to review and manage environmental impacts
- Facility
managers to assess building performance
