TQ139 Waste Minimisation from Offsite Construction v4.1 September 2021 WST
Approved Ruling:
The TQ requesting 3 Points for WST-1 based on total onsite waste sent to landfill (kg per m2 of site) is within 10 kg/m2 although no quantification is available for waste generated during offsite construction, is accepted. To be clear WST-1 in Homestar v4.1 (which this project is registered under) only accounts for waste generated on site, as waste from offsite assembled components are often difficult to quantify, AND reporting from overseas* suggest that offsite construction helps significantly reduce waste from construction. Hence this project is eligible for points to be awarded solely based on waste generated onsite.
