The construction activities shall be controlled by the use of this Sustainability Plan,
HSE Plan, Master Construction Schedule, Inspection and Test Plans, Project
Specific Procedures/Method Statements and Check sheets together with the contract
drawings and specifications.
Familiarity and knowledge of contract specifications/drawings and strict adherence

to Sustainability mandates together with the regular interaction/monitoring/in-process
inspections will ensure that work is executed to contract requirements.
The Subcontractor's Project Manager, Consultant Sustainability Manager and

Sustainability QAQC Consultant together with his site team will ensure that the
work is executed in line with the relevant procedures, suitable equipment are used
and the work is monitored at various stages as required by specifications and identified
in the Inspection and Test Plans and relevant procedures.
Contract Requirements on Sustainability Management will be complied with. The

following protocol is followed for Material Reviews by the KEO Consultant
Sustainability Manager:
The KEO Consultant’s initial focus on the material reviews has been to address
existing materials tracking issues on hand, as identified by General Contractor’s
Project Manager in comments on the Material submittals thus far. This process
involves:
 Communicating with the suppliers to obtain necessary data missing in the
initial submission,
 Investigating possible alternatives,
 Discussing the usage of renewable/ recycled raw material,
 Inquiring on their outlook, goals and sustainable practices within their factory
etc.
For new specifications Consultant Sustainability Manager will evaluate materials as

identified in the Masdar Technical Reference Sheet. All building products need be
evaluated subject to their use within the building and on their sustainable features
defined by Masdar and generally acceptable green practices as outlined below:
 Compliance to restricted Materials list, as established by Masdar. (Yes/No,
with a brief write up on issues therein)
 Proximity of Source : set limits within 800 km of the project (Yes/No, with a
brief write on source availability)
 Percentage of recycled content of material
 Sustainable sourcing of materials: mostly pertaining to wood, but also based
on material abundance can be suggestive for other materials as well. (FSC
certificate/ or brief write up on sustainable sourcing)
 Available manufacturer’s data of Embodied Carbon for the material.
(Co2/tone)
 Sustainable manufacturing practices: Although this has not been laid down as
a criteria Consultant Sustainability team suggest looking at sustainable
practices (Yes/No)
 Material Delivery and Packaging- One on one discussion with supplier will be
undertaken material delivery optimization and for possible reduction or
packaging.
 Material durability and life cycle impacts.( Avg./Good/ Excellent)
 Future recycling, down cycling of environmental impacts of demolished
materials.(note possible issues)
Submittal Forms on the above basis are developed summarizing documentation

compliance. Material Submittals will be further substantiated with necessary proof of
compliance by means of certifications, manufacturer’s statements, technical data
sheets etc.
In the absence of a database of sustainable companies and products within the UAE,
emphasis is with Subcontractor to name 3 companies whose products comply with the
Consultants Architectural Specifications. Subcontractor uses the Ecospecifier system
for specification alternatives. Discussions will be undertaken with General Contractor
and the project Consultant’s as required to facilitate the material approval process.
A data base will be created tracking all technical correspondence and the
sustainability component of all outgoing material submittals.
Construction Carbon Tracking:

Site Carbon Tracking will be documented as outlined in the Masdar Sustainability
Data Collection Form. The tracking forms include the following tables:
 Materials
 Deliveries
 Employee Travel
 Flights
 Waste
 Water Use
 Electricity Purchased
 On site fuel use
18

2009 Page 19 of 31
The tracking form is required to be submitted monthly to General Contractor but to

maintain best practice and efficient recording of information Subcontractor has
charged KEO Sustainability Manager to record data weekly.
It is understood that waste management is under General Contractor scope and will
not require assessment; similarly any fuel bought directly from General Contractor
does not require accounting. As is customary for commercial and logistic reasons,
most of the necessary data for the carbon tracking can be availed from Subcontractor’s
document control, in the absence of such records internal tracking forms will be
created as required.
Sustainability Management Work Progress is monitored on a daily/weekly basis and

progress reporting is done as per contract requirements. Suitable actions shall be
taken to accelerate progress and avoid slippages. Where required, the schedules will
be modified as agreed with the General Contractor.
7.4.2 Product Identification and Traceability
The product - in this case the architectural finishes to the buildings and other structures
in the scope of work of the subcontractor, are visually identifiable as to the status of
work and the numbering as indicated in the approved drawings and the Owner
preferred numbering system.
Incoming materials are correctly identified for sustainability requirements and stored.
Most of the construction materials are identifiable by means of labels and packaging
by the manufacturer/supplier. Where not available, materials will be suitably
identified by using coloured markers and or tags. All materials coming out of store
shall be either traceable by marking/labels, store records, test certificate, etc.
7.4.3 Customer Property
Any material obtained from dismantling/demolition will be considered as Owner’s

property and will be returned/disposed off as per Owner/General Contractor
instructions and contract agreement. Correct sustainability and environmental
considerations will be adhered to when disposal is the required action.
Care will be taken of Owner property by complying with all sustainability, safety
and security requirements. Subcontractor also understands the confidentiality of
drawings and the property contained therein and will only exchange information as
required for the project.
7.4.4 Preservation of Product
Material received on site for permanent incorporation in the project, are subject to
Receiving Inspection by Sustainability Manager, Lead QA/QC Engineer/Project
Manager and Storekeeper. Presence of Owner/General Contractor will be as per
contract requirements and as indicated in the ITP's. Acceptable materials are listed
