Locations department should investigate the possibility of using mains power for lighting at all locations and the possibility of using mains power for facilities at all unit bases.
Generators, genie booms and other powered equipment should be battery powered if possible, hybrid powered if battery is not available, and internal combustion only if the other options are not available.
Where generators are used, they should be right sized for the anticipated load.
Diesel engines should use renewable fuel such as HVO in preference to diesel fuel.
Deliveries and collections of materials and equipment should be optimised to minimise journeys and reduce fuel use/emissions.
Vehicle journeys should be planned to ensure fuel use/emissions are minimised. Where different vehicles can be used for a particular purpose, please choose the vehicle with the lowest consumption and emissions.
Equipment should be switched off and unplugged when not in use.
Observe the no idling policy.
Circular Economy
Source materials and equipment which have the lowest environmental impact.
Use a 3 Bin waste system and provide appropriate signage to inform crew which materials should be placed in each stream.
Use only NWCPO licenced waste and wastewater collection services.
Carbon Calculator
Obtain environmental information from suppliers and facilitate the collection of data on energy use, fuel use, waste collections and transport for the carbon calculator.
