WASTEWATERCARBON
WRAP’s three-step approach to designing out waste1. Facilitated workshop2. Cost, waste and carbon analysis3. Selection of:
Pre-engineered classroom pods Precast concrete columns SUDS
Designing out waste: Southgate College
Total Project saving
Waste savings
Embodied carbon savings

Review of design details and construction materials
Identification of product options with higher RC and specified within ITT
30% increase in RC achieved as % of total value of materials at no extra cost
Recycled Content: Redhill CE Primary School
Recycled content %
Material
100% Damp proof membrane, Carpet, Sheathing boards, Timber frame insulation, Roof insulation
50% to 80% range Concrete block work, Cavity wall insulation, Plasterboard linings, Rubber sheet flooring
To identify opportunities and facilitate implementation of resource efficiency improvements in construction refurbishment
Overall aim for 2013
Resource Efficiency Action Plans(REAPs)
