- Management of toxicity with controlled use of chemicals.
- Water management including the on-site plumbing of a construction toilet rather than a hire facility using harmful chemicals.
- Reduction of power usage and carbon emissions through implementation of considered operational procedures.
- Use of locally available resources to reduce the need for transport and travel and deliver a reduction in carbon emissions
- Management of bulk deliveries and back-loading to and from site.
- Selective use of tools and heavy machinery.
- Lightweight construction options considered to reduce the use of materials high in embodied energy and demanding heavy machinery thereby reducing green house gas emissions.
