Once the construction phase of the project is underway it is good practice to monitor the water & energy consumption on site. This is an excellent benchmarking procedure that allows us to continually compare and improve our performance against other sites around the country. At the start of the construction phase we produced monthly estimated water & energy consumption figures based on previous project experience, and what site activities will be occurring each month. As you can see in the table above our monthly targets are in blue and our monitored figures are in red. Setting targets and monitoring this information allows us to do several activities: - identify wastage and overspend - carrying out trend analysis and previous year comparisons - comparison against published benchmarks and specified targets - ranking sites in terms of performance This allows us to reduce our carbon footprint, and lessen our environmental impact.
