1 Infrastructure Sustainability Understing the IS rating scheme Earning credits with BlueScope Steel BlueScope Steel. Right for Infrastructure Sustainability.
2 The Australian Green Infrastructure Council (AGIC) AGIC was formed in 2008 with the purpose of advancing sustainability in the design, construction operation of infrastructure in Australia. Among the Council s objectives is the delivery of a national assessment, certification award program for sustainability in new existing infrastructure. It also aims to promote a vision for sustainable infrastructure provide the knowledge communication necessary to achieve this vision. AGIC has developed a rating system designed to assess the sustainability of infrastructure projects. This system called, the Infrastructure Sustainability (IS) rating tool, evaluates sustainability across design, construction operation of an infrastructure project. As part of our commitment to sustainability, BlueScope Steel has been involved with AGIC since its inception in Our company is proud to be an organisational member of AGIC, co-sponsor of the materials category of this rating tool.
3 The Infrastructure Sustainability rating scheme The IS rating scheme supports the achievement of sustainable outcomes in infrastructure development by assessing rating a project s sustainability performance. The IS rating tool differs from other ratings systems such as the US Green Building Council s Leadership in Energy Environmental Design (LEED) the Green Building Council of Australia s Green Star system. While LEED The rating tool addresses six broad areas, referred to as themes. Within these themes are 15 categories. These are: 1 Management Governance Management Systems Procurement & Purchasing Climate change Adaptation 2 Using Resources Energy & Carbon Materials 3 Emissions, Pollution Waste Discharges to air, l & water L Waste 4 Ecology Ecology 5 People Place Community, Health, Wellbeing & Safety Heritage Stakeholder Participation Urban & Lscape Design 6 Innovation Innovation Green Star have specific definitions for compliance in each category, the IS tool is less prescriptive allows more options for evidence to prove compliance. This reflects the wide range of potential projects to which the IS rating tool can be applied. The rating process involves selfassessment, followed by independent verification from an IS aped verifier, then formal certification. These categories comprise a total of 51 credits, providing a detailed framework for evaluating a project s sustainability. Each credit is allocated a certain number of all credits are presented in the same format. Aim explains the purpose of the credit Criteria a table with 1 to 3 benchmark levels, all above the business-as-usual level Evidence suggests the evidence that applicants can include to demonstrate compliance. (Other evidence can also be included). Additional Guidance advice to help achieve the credit. Credits earned across all 15 categories are used to determine a project s level of sustainability. This rating is expressed as a score on a 100 scale, as follows: Good Excellent Leading Projects that score less than 25 are not eligible to apply for a certified rating. What types of projects are covered by the IS rating system? The IS rating tool is designed to assess most types of infrastructure, including projects that fall into the following classes. Transport Roads & bridges Bus & cycle ways Footpaths Ports & harbours Airports Railways Communication Communication transmission & distribution storage & supply Sewerage & drainage Energy Energy transmission & distribution At what development phase can sustainability be rated? A project s sustainability can be rated at the Design, As Built, or Operational stages. (The initial planning process falls outside the scope of the IS rating tool). Certification obtained at the Design stage is interim must be converted to an As Built certification upon completion of the project. When a project has been operating for a minimum of two years, it becomes eligible for an Operational rating. Existing infrastructure can also be rated under the Operations certification. Operation ratings must be renewed every 5 years.
4 Earning IS credits with BlueScope Steel Within the IS rating tool, a number of opportunities exist to gain credits using BlueScope Steel products. Some examples are listed below. Theme Category Total category score Indication of credits available with BlueScope Steel products Summary of credit Description Aim How steel made by BlueScope Steel can help earn credits for your project Using resources Materials Mat-1: Materials Life Cycle Impact Measurement Reduction This credit uses a materials calculator to assess lifecycle impact. The applicant enters product volume transport distance the calculator compares the impact of a project s materials with a pre-programmed reference project for a range of raw materials. Maximum are earned when more than 20% of materials (by value) have eco labels or are from sustainable supply chains. Responsible Steel Certification or an ISO Type 1 Ecolablel for steel products (including GECA or Ecospecifier GreenTag ) will potentially meet the requirements of this credit. To reward the reduction of life cycle environmental impact of materials As an organisaitonal member of AGIC sponsor of this credit, we can ensure that our life cycle inventory (LCI) data is accurate conforms to the requirements of the IS materials calculator. Mat-2: Environmentally Labelled Products Supply Chains To reward the use of environmentally-labelled materials those from sustainable supply chains. (This credit only applies to the As Built Operation versions of the rating tool). To make the right decision, it is essential that buyers can assess the total sustainability of a product or material. BlueScope Steel is a leading member of the Steel Stewardship Forum a driver of the Responsible Steel project, which aims to develop a comprehensive certification process covering the entire steel supply chain, from mining to scrap recovery. A number of existing environmental labels cover aspects of supply chain sustainability BlueScope Steel is also examining which of these labels are most applicable to our products. Management Governance Procurement Purchasing 5 3 Pro-2, Pro-3 Pro-4: Procurement Purchasing Pro-2 involves identification of appropriate suppliers; Pro-3 rewards the consideration of sustainability in contract allocation; Pro-4 covers duration-of-contract long-term initiatives. This group of credits encourages sustainability among suppliers by rewarding the engagement of suppliers with environmental sustainability policies procedures. BlueScope Steel is an industry leader in environment sustainability. We have a dedicated sustainability team. Our sustainability credentials our local supplier status can earn in Pro-2, Pro-3 Pro-4 credits. We hold ISO Environmental Management System accreditation have documented environmental policies. Our company is an active member of the World Steel Climate Action Program, a leading member sponsor of the Steel Stewardship Forum a member of the Australian Certification Authority for Reinforcing Steels (ACRS). Our aspirational environmental targets have been signed off by our Board of Directors. Comprehensive life cycle inventories (LCI) of our products can be accessed through the Building Products Innovation Council LCI database. BlueScope Steel continues to develop credentials that will help meet the aims of this group of credits. Management Governance Climate change adaptation Cli-2: Adaptation Measures Cli-2 involves accounting for the risks associated with climate change. Maximum are awarded when high risk is treated scale timing issues are addressed. This credit rewards the implementation of measures that help in adapting to climate change. BlueScope Steel products offer strength, resilience thermal qualities necessary for adapting to a range of climate change events, ie: Bushfires: Sureline power poles, COLORBOND steel fencing, roofing walling water tanks provide proven fire resistance. Heat impacts: COLORBOND steel with Thermatech or COLORBOND Coolmax offer excellent solar reflectivity are ideal for roofing shade structures. Hail storm damage: roofing made from COLORBOND steel is highly resistant to hail damage. It is also used, along with framing made from TRUECORE steel, in houses designed to withst 300 km/h winds. Drought: Steel water tank manufacturers have a range of rainwater harvesting storage systems to reduce your potable water usage. With the right accessories, water tanks made with BlueScope Steel s AQUAPLATE steel can even provide drinking-quality water for your facility. Using Resources Wat-2, Wat-3: Wat-2 recognises initiatives that reduce water use; Wat-3 rewards the replacement of potable water with water from other sources, across the infrastructure life cycle. To reward water conservation preservation of potable water. Steel water tanks offer a wide range of rainwater harvest, storage buffer systems, for almost any application. Pioneer Tanks, a BlueScope Steel company, offers Australian-built tanks with capacities up to 12 million litres for industrial, commercial rural use. Emissions, Pollution Waste Waste Was-2: Diversion from lfill Was-3: Deconstruction/ Disassembly/ Adaptability Was-2 rewards the diversion of non-hazardous inert waste from lfill. Was-3 encourages designs that can be dissembled for re-use at the end of a project s useful life. To reduce present future waste. BlueScope Steel products have intrinsic scrap value steel has a well-established recycling sector. Therefore, a lower percentage of steel ends up as lfill, compared with other building materials. This can assist in achieving a Was-2 credit. Steel bolted construction allows prefabricated units to be easily separated disassembled, allowing beams columns to be re-used in other projects, according to the project deconstruction plan, helping gain a Was-3 credit. Steel can also meet the suggested IS guidance around being reusable recyclable, potentially modular, self-supporting stardised. Community Health Wellbeing Safety Crime prevention Hea-2: Prevention of crime Hea-2 rewards the adoption of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles. The credit also requires end-to-end visibility in tunnels underpasses CPTED-compliant temporary construction diversions. To reward design practice that reduces the likelihood of crime. Tough, durable steel lighting poles, security grills, fencing other features can be used to achieve required CPTED stards. Steel is also ideal for CPTED-compliant temporary fixtures. Innovation Innovation Inn-1: Innovative strategies technologies Inn-1 rewards new technology or processes the contribution a project makes to sustainable development at state, national or global level. This category offers an additional five, over above earned in other categories. To reward pioneering initiatives in sustainable design, process or advocacy. BlueScope Steel products appear in some of Australia s most advanced sustainable buildings. Our products, such as COLORBOND steel TRUECORE steel are favoured by engineers architects for their capacity to meet the most innovative design requirements.
