Book Description

This succinct guide summarises the key features of the legislation and explains the best practice behaviours that will enable project teams to work more effectively, and at the same time satisfy the requirement of the law.




CDM 2015


Book Description

This is the designer’s essential guide to implementing the new CDM 2015 regulations. It provides both a straightforward overview of the key changes and new duty holders, including the Principal Designer, as well as full colour diagrams and annotated plans which demonstrate how to apply the principles in the real world. As the regulations come into force it aims to reassure those fearing a change in their obligations by outlining easy to use practical tools which will integrate the philosophy of the new regulations – of proportionate response, creative solutions and collaborative working – into day-to-day practice. It’s designed as a concise and handy quick reference guide, easy to carry around on site or use at your desk, translating what can be dry and often impenetrable legislation into a set of simple, intuitive, design friendly and safe messages.




The BIM Management Handbook


Book Description

An authoritative and practical road map for those implementing and managing BIM workflows. With the 2016 deadline for BIM level 2 fast approaching and the growing realisation of the huge benefits BIM brings these skills are becoming industry essentials. Concentrating on the how rather than the why this will help you to adapt by clearly, and without jargon, explaining standard BIM processes, Government standards and the effective coordination of design, construction and asset information. Spanning both organisational strategy and day-to-day practical tasks it explores bottom line business reasoning as well as potential risks and challenges. This is the go-to guide for BIM Coordinators and Managers, architectural principals, design team leaders and architectural technicians ensuring you are ‘BIM ready’ in 2016. It will also be invaluable for Part 3 students getting to grips with BIM strategy and implementation.

The CDM Regulations


Book Description

The Construction Design and Management [CDM) Regulations came into force on March 31, 1995. These regulations require clients, designers and contractors to take into account health, safety and environmental issues throughout the complete lifecycle of a building or plant--including the initial site works, construction, commissioning, operation, maintenance and demolition stages. The regulations have caused considerable concern in the construction industry and among major engineering clients because their obligations are seen as extremely onerous. Such examples include the preparation of a Health and Safety Plan and the maintenance of a Health and Safety File detailing design criteria and the construction process. This manual, prepared originally for use on PowerGen's own projects, ensures that design risks to personnel and to the environment can be identified and that measures can be taken to eliminate or mitigate those hazards. It can also form not only the basis of the Health and Safety Plan and Health and Safety File required by the CDM Regulations, but also an auditable record for quality-assurance purposes. Additionally, an electronic edition of The CDM Regulations has also been issued, which contains the entire content of the printed edition. The text and tables are connected to powerful navigation facilities to help the user locate a passage quickly and effortlessly. Using the electronic edition will help the user to keep track of all the important safety data on an engineering project. Finally, this product is Y2K compliant.







Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification Manual for Clean Development Mechanism Projects


Book Description

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), a market mechanism under the Kyoto Protocol, has been successful in supporting mitigation actions through carbon inance. With nearly 7,700 projects and 290 Program of Activities registered by the CDM Executive Board, the CDM allows GHG emission reduction projects in developing countries to generate Certiied Emission Reductions which can be used to ofset mandatory or voluntary emission reduction targets. It however requires a robust monitoring, reporting, and veriication (MRV) to ensure social and environmental integrity of such projects and the emissions reductions thereof. This MRV manual is intended to assist CDM project developers in understanding and managing the MRV requirements and process of their CDM projects in a simple step-by-step manner with the help of real examples and practical tips. While this MRV manual has been developed primarily to assist CDM project developers, it also aspires to be of help for projects participating in other existing and emerging market mechanisms. These may include bilateral mechanisms; voluntary carbon markets; regional, national, and subnational carbon markets; and any of the cooperative approaches and new market mechanism for the post-2020 carbon markets consequent to the Paris Agreement adopted at COP21 in December 2015. As carbon markets in the region evolve beyond CDM, there is a strong need to maintain and further build institutional capacities to ensure growth and enhanced efectivity of carbon markets---and this MRV manual is an efort in that direction.
