- indoor air temperature in winter of 19-20deg C, and in summer between
20-24 deg C;
- surface temperatures of walls etc within a space should not differ by more than
2-3deg C from the air temperature;
- relative humidity of room air should not fall below 30% in winter and in
summer should vary naturally between 40% and 60%;
- air velocity at head and knee levels should not exceed 0.2 metres per second.
- design to achieve good daylighting;
- design to avoid glare:
- consider mock-ups or other visualisation aids to investigate requirements
of visual comfort such colour, texture and brightness pattern which are
not subject to an analytical approach.
- first ensure that unacceptable structural transmission does not occur:
- design out intrusive outside noise sources;
- select ventilation fan blades to avoid annoying frequencies and use
resilient mounts.
- reduce total energy consumed per thousand dollars income by at least
5% per year with 25% reduction by the end of five years;
- reduce water draw-down from local sources by 5% per year,
through conservation;
- reduce total paper and paper products consumption by 10% per year.
- utilise alternative energy sources (renewable/co-generation) to a renewable
degree;
- reach a level of 50% recycled water by end of five years;
- reach a usage level of 90% recycled paper, where we must use paper, by
end of five years and maintain that level;
- recycle the most used chemicals 30% by end of five years.
- contribute where we can to the reducton of greenhouse and acid rain
generating gases;
- meet the most restrictive standards for wastewater discharge;
- meet a "noise to neighbours" standard at any point on our property
perimeter < 60dB(A).
- handle, store and dispose of all pontential contaminants and hazardous
substances in a manner to meet or exceed the strictest environmental
safety standards of any community.
- move to recycleable , reused, or biodegradable packing materials
- to use products for decreased energy comsumption;
- enablement of more energy-efficient applications.
- proactively support local initiatives such as :Clean-up the World";
- sponsor an annual "environmemtal day";
- encourage our neighbours to lead/participate in environmental committees,
symposia, "watch-dog" group, etc.
