29 Construction Energy Use & 30 Construction Water Use – Weekly reporting - KBCN1387

03 Detailed monitoring and reporting crit 3 Conduct the monitoring and reporting of data in crit 2 on a weekly basis. The reason to ask for data recorded on a weekly basis, is to collect much more granular data which can be potentially overlaid with the project plan. By undertaking this it would enable the construction team to better understand the most energy intensive processes which could be targeted with energy efficiency measures.

29 Construction Energy Use & 30 Construction Water Use -Methodology - KBCN1386

Criterion 3 in both of the above categories states that the meter reading and reporting should be done on a weekly basis however, in step 2 of the Water monitoring and reporting methodology it states:- Check the frequency of monitoring the contractor wishes to maintain throughout the project to ascertain eligibility for crit 3 above.” What this means, is that whichever frequency of monitoring and reporting the contractor wishes to do for the duration of the project, to be eligible for crit 3, they have to be made aware that weekly monitoring and reporting is required to obtain crit 3 credits. This will be required to be shown as evidence.
