PREFACE
Thank you for reading this CEPAS Construction Stage Assessment Manual.
This assessment manual for Construction Stage forms one part of the holistic life-cycle considered
comprehensive environmental performance assessment scheme (CEPAS) for buildings in Hong Kong. It
is for use during the building construction period. The target users for these publications are building
developers, owners, designers and building environmental specialists, i.e. all parties of the building
industry. The general public is also encouraged to use this scheme to understand more about building
environmental issues. It is expected that the building performance will be improved when all the users are
involved.
The entire CEPAS assessment scheme consists of the following publications:
The CEPAS manuals are prepared to provide a measure to evaluate sustainability performance for all
building types in Hong Kong. It is expected that this assessment scheme (2006 edition) will continue to
develop by sharing research supports and implementation experience with other local and international
assessment scheme. In order to maximise the flexibility of building planning, design, construction and
operation, there is flexibility in a number of the indicators within this assessment scheme. It is
recommended that this assessment scheme be used with reference to related technical guidelines from
local and international academia, professional organisations and the Government.
These CEPAS manuals were written by Ove Arup & Partners Hong Kong Limited and the associated subconsultants. The scheme has incorporated advices from local experts and the Steering Group members,
issues raised in the Discussion Forum and Expert Panels, as well as findings of Questionnaire Survey to
the stakeholders. The CEPAS assessment schemes, application guidelines and other codes, handbooks
and information published by the Buildings Department can be downloaded at http://www.bd.gov.hk/.

Item 3: This indicator is assigned to encourage IAQ control due to construction works
in occupied buildings.
The IAQ Guidelines for Occupied Buildings Under
Construction (1995), published by the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning, Contractors
National Association (SMACNA) or other relevant publication shall be referred. In
addition, if spatially feasible, a temporary exhaust air duct is recommended to extract
air directly from the construction area to the ambient. Air in the construction area
should be prevented from getting into the occupied space, this can be achieved by
maintaining negative air pressure in the A&A areas.
In addition, all air filters used in the construction site and its surrounding areas shall
be replaced prior to occupancy of the A&A portions.
Item 4: This indicator is assigned to control indoor air pollution at source, which is
one of the effective indoor air pollution control strategies. Building and furnishing
materials without or with low pollutant emission, particularly on VOC, is acceptable for

Explanation
Timber is a global valuable resource and saving of timber is our priority in conserving
our environment. The construction industry in Hong Kong consumes a substantial
amount of timber, with many of them disposed to landfill sites after minimal use.
Supply of timber becomes increasingly scarce and there is no forest in Hong Kong
that can supply timber for the industry.
Timber demand can be minimized by a number of measures during construction
including:
It is estimated that more than 90% of timber consumed in construction with traditional
method can be saved1.

RE 4.3 Score
Explanation
When a building is demolished (exclude destruction work in A&A works), there are
often substantial quantities of materials are salvageable. The salvageable materials
can be recycled and recovered for use in the construction process in the same site or
other sites or recycled in recovery plant.
Before commencement of demolition work, contractor is encouraged to carry out a
field survey and to identify and categorize various types of salvageable materials of
the building in order to maximize the scale of salvageable waste recovery. Also, hand
demolition and dismantling should be considered prior to demolition using point
breaker, bulldozer, crane ball and chain, and explosives.
The demolition waste shall be categorized into inert and non-inert waste.
Salvageable materials, including inert waste, such as metals, bricks, masonry,
excavated spoil and tiles, as well as non-inert waste such as timber, paper, plastic,
should be removed from the buildings before demolition. Selective sequential
demolition should be adopted to remove one type of material at one time to avoid
mixing. If the building services equipment inside the building can be reused or the
metallic parts of the equipment are recyclable, hand dismantle is also recommended.
The collected demolition waste shall be recovered on site, transfer to recovery plant
or public filling areas for reclamation.
Since a contractor has a better capability to determine the possible amount of
salvageable materials and to identify the possible recycling and reusable materials,
field survey together with drawings to indicate the locations of various types of
salvageable materials and a strategy plan to categorize the demolished materials for
recover and disposal are essential to reduce waste in a demolition site. Presumably,
recyclable waste salvaged for export in lieu of local consumption will also be credited
in this performance indicator.
In addition, a designated area to sort the waste material on-site before delivery to

extremely unstable and would not be sustainable in the long run. Meanwhile, many
salvageable materials discarded, demolished and dismantled in demolition and
construction site are usually disposed into public landfill that leads to a serious land
burden for this city.
Item 1: This indicator is assigned to encourage contractors to implement effective
construction and demolition waste management to reduce, recycle and reuse C&D
waste. To comply with this indicator, the main contractor is required to formulate a
comprehensive waste management plan and carry out weekly implementation
records. The main contractor and developers / owners representative shall monitor
contractors performance and implementation records on C&D waste management.
To comply with this indicator, the C&D waste management on construction and
demolition site shall follow the methodologies and criteria as stipulated in the ETWB

Sites. Reduction, Reuse and Recycling of C&D materials are the principles of the
waste management plan. C&D waste is categorized into inert and non-inert wastes.
The salvageable C&D waste can be reused on the same site or in other sites, or
recycled and recovered in factory. Salvageable materials, including inert waste, such
as metals, bricks and tiles, as well as non-inert waste such as timber, paper, plastic,
should be addressed in the waste management plan.
For inert waste, the Waste Flow Table as described in the ETWB Technical Circular
(Works) No. 15/2003 shall be used. In addition, the main contractor shall formulate
relevant weekly record tables to record the salvageable inert and non-inert C&D
waste being generated, C&D waste that have been reused for the same site or other
sites, disposal as public fill and transferred to factory for recovery. For inert C&D
wastes, the record tables and their waste categorisation as described in the CEDD
Technical Circular No. 42/2004 shall be used as reference for contractors
management plan formulation. For non-inert waste, the record format shall be similar
to that of inert waste, but the categorisation shall include, but not limited to timber,
paper, plastics, etc.
The waste management plan shall be formulated specifically for the site construction
and demolition activities. The waste management plan shall include, but not limited to
the key types of waste to be reduced, waste reduction targets, waste reduction
programmes, packaging waste management and waste disposal procedures. Apart
from that, effective implementation is required to ensure the strategies are applicable
to all site workers and cover the entire site area, including site office. The strategies
can be in form of educational basis, instructions or guidelines.
Besides, the EPD guidelines on Site Practice for Waste Reduction in Construction
Industry shall also be referred.
Item 2: Designated person(s) are required to inspect the implementation
effectiveness of various waste management strategies on site every week. The
designated person(s) should ensure the strategies are implemented according to the
guidelines as stipulated in the waste management plan and keep up-to-date with the
waste management records.
The designated person(s) shall arrange guiding and warning materials, such as
information sheet and poster, to ensure all workers and staff on site acknowledge the
target and method of the C&D waste management plan. Also, the designated
person(s) shall look for improvement strategies to enhance the effectiveness of waste
management and maximising the recyclable waste collection and reuse.
Item 3: Centralised space(s) could be allocated in form of open space or enclosed
area, but enclosed area is recommended. However, for open space storage,
sufficient distance away from the working space shall be maintained so as to
Page 39

BUILDINGS DEPARTMENT
COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT SCHEME (CEPAS) FOR BUILDINGS
minimize both odour and health risks. The centralised space shall be located with
convenient waste delivery access and with minimal environmental impact due to
waste transportation within the site. The waste shall be at least classified to inert and
non-inert, organic (e.g. from site kitchen), paper, masonry, timber, metals, plastics,
concrete and excavated spoil categories. The checklist as described in the Annex 7.3
& 7.4 of the Best Practice Guide: Environment Best Practice Guide for
Environmental Protection on Construction Sites, published by the Hong Kong
Construction Association, shall be referred.
Item 4: Exposed waste storage, particularly for organic waste, leads to unwanted
odour and health risks to the surroundings. Provision of self-closing air tight system
could be in automatic or manual operations.

Hong Kong contains large area of natural landscapes, which support a diverse
assemblage of plant and animal species. However, the expanding building
development, connecting roads and parking areas, are endangering the wildlife
corridors and leave lesser room for the survival of species. Therefore, at site level,
CEPAS encouraged creating or retaining habitats for the use of indigenous species to
maintain / increase the local biodiversity. The natural environment is a valuable asset
belonging to the people in Hong Kong and their future generations. New

If the existing building on site has a cultural heritage value, reuse of the building is
encouraged. This practice is common in many European countries, Mainland China
and other some countries. Unfortunately, many developers or building owners in
Hong Kong are unwilling to reuse the existing building but prefer to rebuild a building
with more sellable floor area. Hence, this indicator is assigned to encourage reuse of
existing building with heritage value. Reuse of the entire building, or a large portion of
existing building, such as building envelope, courtyard, are acceptable in this
indicator.
A survey on the site-wide cultural heritage value is encouraged in the Design / Pre-

that help to overcome many of these problems inherent in in-situ construction. Shorter
construction period and lesser material consumed could be the benefits by better
buildability.
Construction process usually requires heavy demand on technologies, logistic
management, site supervision and quality assurance. Also, construction works give
rise to considerable environmental problems, such as dust nuisance from on-site
concrete mixing, noise from the use of metal formwork, excessive waste from the use
of timber formwork, and muddy site run-off. The contractor is encouraged to adopt
innovative method, and to create project-specific construction technologies to satisfy
the high quality requirements of various construction activities as well as the
buildability. The developer will be benefited by the new technology to gain a better
profit, whilst the Contractor is benefited by sound technical competitiveness.
In addition, simple building services installation details, shorter services routes and
simple site fabrication methods are also encouraged to improve buildability.
To further minimise the cost and energy consumption for transportation of precast
structure as well as to maintain the local labour activities, the indicators encourage
pre-fabrication structures, modules and components manufactured in Hong Kong .
Item 1: This indicator is assigned to encourage widely adoption of other precast
structure such as precast slab, staircase, column, beam, etc. This indicator is
awarded if precast structure is proposed and provided by the Contractor other than
the precast structure specified in the Design Stage.
Item 2: This indicator is assigned to encourage widely adoption of full precast
module, such as residential flat, modular office, and the adoption of integrated
services module, such as prefabricated toilet unit, plant room unit, bathroom unit,
which completed with full building services equipment, pipes, ducts and cable
containments. This indicator is awarded if full precast module and / or integrated
services module is proposed and provided by the Contractor other than the full
precast module / integrated service module specified in the Design Stage.
Item 3: This indicator is assigned to encourage the use of other precast component in
building, such as meter chamber, services riser, refuse chute, standardized door leaf
opening, window, etc. This indicator is awarded if precast component is proposed
and provided by the Contractor other than the precast components specified in the
Design Stage.
Innovation Item:
Use of other improved and innovative building technology to enhance the
buildability and minimise environmental impacts
This indicator is assigned to encourage improved and innovative building technology
to enhance buildability and minimise environmental impacts. This is a bonus point for
