SAINT PAUL SUSTAINABLE BUILDING POLICY

Training Module FiveConstruction Waste Reduction

Saint PaulSustainable Building Policy

Construction waste reduction

• Background• Waste reduction requirements• General reporting requirements• Specific sustainable building standard

requirements

BACKGROUND

Background• Construction activities create hundreds of

millions of tons of waste every year.• Construction waste management has benefits

upstream and downstream of the materials manufacturing process.

• Upstream benefits include the reduction in demand for virgin resources and manufactured materials.

• Downstream benefits include the reduction of waste sent to landfills.

Background

• Increasing the amount of building materials recycled can also reduce cost, depending on tipping and recycling fees.

WASTE REDUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Requirements

• The requirements of the Saint Paul Overlay to the Sustainable Building Policy are to divert at least 75% of construction waste from landfills.

• For projects without a satisfactory waste reduction credit or requirement, it will be necessary to complete the Construction Waste Calculator available at www.sustainablebuildingpolicy.umn.edu/saintpaul.

Using the Construction Waste Calculator• The construction waste calculator predicts an

average amount of waste produced, based on the overall square footage of the building. It then measures the recycled amounts of corrugated cardboard, metals, concrete and rubble, dimensional lumber and wood, gypsum wallboard and “other” materials.

• The calculator measures in weight, by tons.

GENERAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

General reporting requirements for all guideline systems• Completion of the construction waste calculator.• Completion of log of all materials recycled and

landfilled with receipts from waste management provider.– This may be in individual logs or a summary by waste

management provider, detailing quantity and type, and percentage or each type diverted from landfill

– Log template available at www.sustainablebuildingpolicy.umn.edu/saintpaul.

• Submit completed calculator and log to PED and DSI

MINNESOTA GREEN COMMUNITIESCONSTRUCTION WASTE REQUIREMENTS

esConstruction waste requirement

• Minnesota Green Communities does not have a satisfactory waste reduction criterion. Use the Construction Waste Calculator available at www.sustainablebuildingpolicy.umn.edu/saintpaul to ensure that at least 75% of solid waste of construction are recycled or otherwise diverted from landfills.

MINNESOTA GREENSTARCONSTRUCTION WASTE REQUIREMENTS

Construction waste requirement

• While section 9A of Minnesota GreenStar offers many possible points that contribute to this requirement, it provides no means to fully comply with the Saint Paul Overlay.

• Therefore it is necessary to use the Construction Waste Calculator available at www.sustainablebuildingpolicy.umn.edu/saintpaul to ensure that at least 75% of solid waste of construction are recycled or otherwise diverted from landfills.

LEED FOR HOMESCONSTRUCTION WASTE REQUIREMENTS

Construction waste requirement

• Achieve at least 2.5 points for MR Credit 3: Waste Management for at least 75% waste diversion from landfills and incinerators.
