3. The eXemplar Programme • Why eXemplars • Building on the Demonstration Process • What Industry told us • Capturing ‘what’ has been done • Capturing ‘how’ it was done • Becoming an eXemplar ‘Exemplar: ‘An example of something worthy of being imitated or copied’’

4. Why eXemplars?

5. To help industry achieve ‘Best Value Low Carbon’ outcomes in the most efficient manner • Build on the Demonstration Programme: • Review the whole process from inception to in use • Measure the key components in more detail • Link low carbon and ‘rethinking’ agendas • Show relationship between standards and process • Provide more detailed case studies

6. Building on the Demos • Adopting ‘rethinking’ principles • Deliver Best Value Sustainable solutions • Achieve measured standards • Covering entire lifecycle from planning to post occupancy • ‘How’ as well as ‘what’ was done

7. What Industry Told us • Need a focal point for information using real projects • Should be linked to the Low Carbon Agenda • Measurement is important but not an end in itself • Capture ‘how’ as well as ‘what’ was done • Explain strategy for obtaining added value • Cover the entire project lifecycle • Client leadership and involvement are critical • Must be willing to share learning

8. Capturing what’s been done • Achieving measured minimum standards: • Economic • Social & community • Environmental • In-use • Narrative linked to the above metrics which will produce the Case Study

9. Capturing how it was done

10. Using ‘Rethinking Construction’ Principles

11. Using the ‘Business Excellence Model’ Enablers Results Approach Deployment Outputs People Customers Society Leadership People Policy & Strategy Resources Processes STRATEGY PERFORMANCE ACTION

12. Becoming an eXemplar

13. Application stage – download via web • Initial interview – scope and strategic overview • Panel Approval • Data capture process: • What does an eXemplar consider? • A framework for assessment • What makes a project exemplary • Analysis and reporting • Case study • Dissemination

14. The Process:What does an eXemplar consider?

15. Environmental Underpinned by… Post Construction and in-use Sustainability Economic Social The Outcomes The process – from options to construction

16. Economic issues Overall cost Cost predictability Time predictability Quality/ defects Social issues Health & safety Employee satisfaction Local supply chain engaged Training/ skills increase Community engagement Wider community benefits

17. Environmental issues Overall environmental sustainability Building energy in use Energy & water use during construction Materials – environmental impacts Materials – responsible sourcing Waste management Protecting ecology Post Construction Client satisfaction Contractor satisfaction Supply chain success Handover Post Occupancy Evaluation …these issues may evolve/ change over time to reflect what is seen to be important to the industry

18. The Process:Creating a framework for assessment

19. For each headline there are a range of ‘metrics’ that can be used to measure performance • Using industry benchmarks minimum standards can be set to ensure a good ‘all round’ project • Areas of exemplary performance can then be highlighted and explained

20. The Process:What makes a project Exemplary?

21. Demonstrate innovation exceeding normal industry practice in some areas • Must achieve minimum standards in all other key areas

22. The Process: Analysis • Choose which area(s) show exemplary performance • Interviews at key stages of the project, to show how performance and successes were achieved • Key ‘causes and effects’ that could be repeated on other projects are identified Options appraisal Detailed Design Practical completion Post Construction

23. The Process – Analysis Report • Analysis report provided to assist continual improvement • Key learning points will be incorporated in a published case study

24. The Process: Case Study

25. Pilot Case Studies • Four project teams have helped pilot and refine the Exemplar methodology • Useful learning from these projects have been included in Pilot Case Studies • Each demonstrated excellent core sustainability principles & performed well under the methodology • Build on these to drive industry forward

26. The Process: Case studies Full project: • Ongoing analysis at key stages throughout the life of the project producing ‘living’ case studies • Overall case study produced at post occupancy stage Condensed project: • Retrospective analysis of completed projects producing single case study

27. Dissemination • Case studies via CEW, BRE & KTN websites • Sustainable Building Portal: • More detailed interactive case studies • Video clips of installations, interviews, etc • Direct links to products/ systems used • Events and Seminars: • Items of interest arising out of eXemplars

28. Use of MBE KTN • Case study area to present best practice & innovative products and/or solutions • Forum for info on live, ongoing projects • Discussion threads for discussing issues with other interested parties • Details of events and items of interest

29. Next Steps • To apply go to ‘www.exemplar.org.uk’ • Follow up regional seminars to go into more detail
