Minimize water usage during construction

➤ Recycle stormwater for dust control on site
➤ Install low-flow toilets and aerators at sinks in the job site trailer
➤ Implement a detailed stormwater pollution protection plan (SWPPP) to minimize water pollution and protect the neighboring community
➤ Collect rainwater for bootwash at the project trailer

Because most of the credits available within LEED BD+C rating systems are the responsibility of the building owner and design team, contractors usually are left with limited opportunity to directly control and achieve sustainability success. They are re- signed to following the formulas for managing sustainability in line with prescribed LEED credits. The usual result: a narrowly focused sustainability effort on the construction site. Yet there are opportunities for contractors to go beyond LEED and achieve even greater outcomes by committing to healthier and more efficient job site practices.
