  1. Designing in Sustainability Victoria Hands and Ian Spencer London School of Economics & Political Science

  2. Background Sustainable Development Logistics/Management/Services/Financial Building Specifications Design-in sustainability requirements Design-in fitness for purpose operational effectiveness for SD Content 30 June 2008 Victoria Hands and Ian Spencer, LSE

  3. Increasing pressure via legislation Resource efficiency=cost savings Operational efficiency=cost savings Social and environmental responsibility Sector demand–(International eg:GULF; Regional eg:HEFCE; People & Planet Green League; BITC; Green Gowns; Bradford Ecoversity) Student demand (Future Leaders Survey) Trend for contracted-out accommodation Sustainable Development 30 June 2008 Victoria Hands and Ian Spencer, LSE

  4. High density, multiple occupancy dwellings Health & Safety standards + SD now Security – control person access/comms Restricted access – deliveries/check-in/out Limited space – storage issues Short and Long stay needs Student residents vs hotel guests SD & Logistics 30 June 2008 Victoria Hands and Ian Spencer, LSE

  5. Residents-contractual obligations Support/guide young people (first time living out) Many overseas fee paying students High aspirations-quality/convenience/SD Part of total student experience Important student wellbeing environment Diversity, Equality, Disability needs SD & Management 30 June 2008 Victoria Hands and Ian Spencer, LSE

  6. Cleaning – products/labour changes Maintenance & upkeep–hazwaste/WEEE Catering – LOAF/energy/waste Waste management Increase in waste per capita nationally No additional space, restricted recycling Cost/availability of collection provisions Forced focus on REDUCE and REUSE SD & Service 30 June 2008 Victoria Hands and Ian Spencer, LSE

  7. Design – building specs Site Waste Management Plans (works) Operational Predictable waste types and peaks Packaging on arrival Food waste/recycling/landfill day-to-day (weds/w/end) Unwanted items on departure (10-20kg/capita) WEEE/furniture/repairs special Sustainable Waste Management 30 June 2008 Victoria Hands and Ian Spencer, LSE

  8. Energy costs Doubled in last few years Increases likely to continue Urgent need for designed-in cost reductions Reflected in government legislation (EBPD/CRC) Costs as driver to go beyond legislation Competitive advantage with other halls SD & Finance 30 June 2008 Victoria Hands and Ian Spencer, LSE

  9. Energy On-site/shared renewables (microgeneration) Automated metering Individual metering Energy efficient fittings Occupancy Controls Energy labels on buildings (EPC/DEC) Awareness raising campaigns Building Specifications 30 June 2008 Victoria Hands and Ian Spencer, LSE

  10. Water Minimisation (fittings, waterless urinals) Grey water recycling Rainwater harvesting Biodiversity Green roof (water/temperature) Green wall (temperature/water filtering) Planting (attract biodiversity/absorb pollution) Building Specifications 30 June 2008 Victoria Hands and Ian Spencer, LSE

  11. Operational functionality Natural ventilation Shading/solar gain Natural lighting/sun pipes Lux levels BREEAM – excellent rating Materials – Life Cycle Assessment Building Specifications 30 June 2008 Victoria Hands and Ian Spencer, LSE

  12. 2007 funded by HEFCE Moving toward zero waste Reduce Smart purchasing Additional built-in provision Reuse Divert from landfill Internal reuse/Resell/donation Reuse in Halls of Residence 30 June 2008 Victoria Hands and Ian Spencer, LSE

  13. Slide content … HEFCE Zero Waste in Universities HEFCE Zero Waste in Universities 30 June 2008 Victoria Hands and Ian Spencer, LSE

  14. Times Higher Education Supplement Awards 2006 Finalist Outstanding Contribution to SD National Recycling Award 2006 Winner Best Partnership Project Finalist Best Waste Minimisation Project London Pilot Reuse 30 June 2008 Victoria Hands and Ian Spencer, LSE

  15. Next steps Building specifications to design-in sustainability and operationalise SD Lobby producers to be responsible for packaging/lifecycle of goods Sustainable procurement to avoid waste Additional built-in provision Collaborative Project opportunities HEFCE Zero Waste Project 30 June 2008 Victoria Hands and Ian Spencer, LSE
