Assignment Brief and Guidance You are employed by a large general contractor, as a Design Build Technician. The company has recently appointed a new Managing Director who has decided to shift the company's focus towards greater use of sustainable practices. To achieve this, the Managing Director has asked a number of staff to prepare presentations on how to improve sustainability within the construction process. You have been asked to prepare a presentation on "Improving Sustainability through Material Selection. The Managing Director suggests that your presentation (optional ) covers: • an overview of health and safety regulations related to the handling of materials on site; considering the use of risk assessments to address hazards and explaining how regulations and legislation apply to specific site activities and planning for safe handling of materials. using an example, explain the process of material environmental profiling and life cycle assessment. This should consider the benefits of product declaration and environmental certification. • using a selected project, develop and present a waste management plan that explores the relevant waste materials and their disposal. using data from experiments and performance properties and product data, justify a material selection for a chosen building element; discussing the properties in relation to regulatory requirements. This should include consideration of the effects of structural loading of materials and compare their behaviour. • With regard to human comfort, evaluate the performance of selected materials: use calculations to show the performance of materials for human comfort. • Illustrate how the environmental rating of a building can be improved through the use of sustainable materials, evaluating the use of passive and active strategies to minimise resource usage. In order that those attending the presentation, can further consider the points raised, you are asked to prepare a related Report. This is not intended to be the same as the presentation, but will provide additional research, data, calculations and explanation of the issues raised in the report. *Please access HN Global for additional resources support and reading for this unit.
