In the UK environmental impacts are controlled by legislation, particularly planning law. There are also voluntary standards that are in widespread use in the property and development industry to ensure good environmental practice during design, construction and use of buildings. High standards of environmental design can reduce costs of operating the building, for example, by minimising energy and water bills.
The 大象传媒 requires its staff and suppliers to take all reasonable steps to design, construct, manage and use buildings and sets in accordance with these guidelines.
These Environmental Planning and Built Environment Guidelines establish minimum operating standards that must be applied at sites and cover the legal issues you must be aware of. If you have any queries relating to this Standard then you should contact the Safety Advice Line.
What Can Go Wrong?
General Hazards
Construction and use of buildings or sets owned or occupied by the 大象传媒 can have a variety of environmental impacts, including:
- Land use - The type of land occupied by the building/set, such as sites previously used by industry (known as brownfield sites) or previously natural or farmed sites (known as greenfield sites).
- Biodiversity - Impacts on wildlife and measures to protect or enhance wildlife present on the site.
- Energy use - Use of limited natural resources, such as oil and gas, and the emission of pollutants to the environment, such as carbon dioxide.
- Materials - Use of limited natural resources and the use of substances that are hazardous to the environment.
- Water consumption - Use of limited natural resources and the potential to release pollutants into water.
- Transport to and from the building/set - Use of limited natural resources and the emission of pollutants into the environment, such as carbon dioxide.
