5 Materials

5.1 Building Materials

Materials to be used are: concrete slab, concrete panels, FC sheets, metal andtimber cladding, and metal deck roof. At 90% of façade materials to be designedfor disassembly or 50% (by area) of structural framing, roofing and façadecladding systems to be designed for disassembly.

Window frames to be “aluminium high performance glazing, single Low-E ordouble-glazed, U Value of 5.0 or less and SHGC of 0.5-0.6.” type to improveenergy efficiency rating.

The basic concepts of this category are to reduce the amount of natural resourcesused, reuse whatever materials can be reused and recycle whenever possible. Itis encouraged to use sustainable timber and recycle content of concrete andsteel.

Additionally, use an option alternativematerials for electrical and plumbing.

http://www.healthybuilding.net/pvc/facts.html

• PipingCast iron, steel, concrete vitrified clay, copper, and plastics, such as HDPE (highdensity polyethylene).

• SidingFiber-cement board, stucco, recycled or reclaimed or FSC (Forest StewardshipCouncil) certified sustainably harvested wood, OSB (oriented strand board),brick, and polypropylene.

• Roofing MembranesTPO (thermoplastic polyolefin), EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer),NBP (nitrile butadiene polymer) and low-slope metal roofing.

• Electrical Insulation and SheathingHalogen free, LLDPE (linear low-density polyethylene), XLP and XLPE(thermoset crosslinked polyethylene)



5.2 Construction Materials

Glazing height is estimated to be up to 2400mm in height to maximise winterheat gain and natural ventilation. Windows/doors will be shaded by overhangs,significantly reducing summer solar heat gains.

For every level, wall insulation R2.0 for all external walls and betweenapartments also for acoustic reasons. For roofs exposed to direct sunlight,ceiling insulation recommended is R3.5. Seal gaps, cracks and exhaust fans.Weather-strip windows and external/entry doors.

5.3 Construction and Operational Waste Management

A dedicated storage area is to be setup for the separation and collection of wasteand recyclables. The recommended size as per the Green Council Building ofAustralia (GBCA) guide is 0.8% of building floor area, minimum ofapproximately 30sqm.

Commitment to reduce or re-use at least 80% of construction waste. Thebuilder/owner is to ensure that there is an Environmental Management Plan(EMP) is in place for recycling of construction waste in accordance withISO14001.

An operational waste management plan to be prepared and issued to residentswhen the building will be occupied. This plan is to document the most efficientand sustainable methods to reduce waste and encourage occupants to recyclewaste. A private contractor will be engaged to pick up the waste.



5.4 Recycling Waste

The recycle waste storage is required to effectively serve all building uses andoccupants. It is also accommodate the storage of the following recyclablessuch as: paper, glass, plastics, metals, organic (compost) materials.

A dedicated area on the mezzanine/carpark will be used to store both wasteand recycling items.

6 Transport

In this section, it is about automotive movement. It is encouraged to reduce itwhile increasing use of alternative transportation.

• Allow minimum 30 secure bicycle storage spaces. To be clearly signposted. Please refer to traffic report.

• Allow for 40A powerpoints in for provision of electric vehicle recharging.Vehicle recharging power points will be provided as required and locatedwithin requested car parking space

• There are plenty of commuting mass transport and amenities in the areasuch as: trains, buses, trams, shops, schools and parks. This is recognisedas a significant plus and is awarded by GBCA.

• Chadstone Shopping Centre• Bus routes: 800,802,804 and 862 on Warrigal Road• Train stations: Hughesdale and Oakleigh• Scotchmans Creek bike and walk track

The above recommendations are based from GBCA.

This is commended andrecognised by the ample glazing feature and naturally (air changes allowed)naturally ventilated corridors and central courtyard. Allowing for cross-flowventilation. Light coloured floor, light paint for walls and ceilings are alsorecommended.

The combined average energy rating efficiency is 7.0-Star. This is to beachieved later by FirstRate 5, 2nd generation approved system.

In regard to internal noise, bulk insulation or Foilboard are encouraged to beused between apartments’ walls to minimise noise intrusion.

7.2 VOC

It is required to work towards reducing uselow Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)for:

• Internal finishes and internal paintedsurfaces. Not to exceed 50g/L

used in the structure, one point is awarded for each of the two

initiatives met below:

- At least 95% of all Category A products and at least 25% of

Category B products (see Table 1) meet or exceed the nominated

steel strength grades and are permanently marked with their

strength grade;

- At least 60% of the fabricated structural steelwork is supplied by

a steel fabricator / steel contractor accredited to the Environmental

Sustainability Charter of the Australian Steel Institute.

• Where reinforcing steel comprises 60% or more of the total steel

used in the structure of the building, one point is awarded for each

of the two initiatives met below:

-At least 95% of all reinforcing bar and mesh meets or exceeds

500MPa strength grade, and at least 60% of all reinforcing steel is

produced using energy-reducing processes in its manufacture

(measured by average mass by steel maker annually);

- At least 95% of all reinforcing steel meets or exceeds 500MPa

strength grade, and at least 15% (by mass) of all reinforcing steel is

assembled using off site optimal fabrication techniques detailed in

Table 2.

Where neither structural steel nor reinforcing steel comprises more

than 60% of the total steel used in the structure, a combination of

any of these criteria as set out above can be used to achieve the

credit for a maximum of two points. See Additional Guidance for

more information.

Mat-6 PVC To reduce the environmental

and health impacts of

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) by

encouraging the use of PVC

material which adheres to

best practice guidelines.

Up to two points are awarded when a percentage of a project’s PVC

flooring, resilient wall coverings, cable insulation, pipe and conduit -

which together account for the majority of PVC use in buildings and

which are referred to as ‘common uses of PVC’ in this credit – meet

the Best Practice Guidelines for PVC in the built environment. For

further information on the Best Practice Guidelines see the

Additional Guidance section of this credit. Points are awarded as

follows:

- One point where at least 60% of the common uses of PVC

products in buildings (by cost) complies; and

- Two points where at least 90% of the common uses of PVC

products in buildings (by cost) complies.

If the cost of PVC products in common uses of PVC represents less

than 0.05% of the project’s total contract value, or there are no PVC

products present in the project for any of the common uses of PVC,

this credit is ‘Not Applicable’ and is excluded from the points

available used to calculate the Materials Category Score.

sourced from a combination of both.

* Only one point is currently available when claiming this credit.

Further work is being undertaken on the ‘Significant’ criteria for

forest management, against which forest certification schemes can

be assessed to qualify certified timber for a second point in this

credit. The second point will be N/A until the ‘Significant Criteria’ are

implemented.

A list of up-to-date GBCA recognised forest certification schemes

can be found on the GBCA website at www.gbca.org.au.
