IFC is seeking to hire an international
consulting firm with the expertise in construction sector specifically in Green
Buildings Sector to work on delivering a training course to develop Green
building materials data base for manufacturers in Egypt.
A. Green
Building Materials Data Base:
1. The consulting firm is
required to provide capacity building – training to the technical team of HBRC
to develop guidelines for building materials for manufacturers. These
Guidelines will include:
·
Data
required from the manufacturers for the establishment of the Egyptian Green
Building Materials Data Base.
·
Selection
of Priority Materials is based upon the commonly used materials in the Egyptian
context (e.g., cement, steel, concrete, brick, ceramic, aluminum, and glass).
·
Environmental
indicators to be reported for life cycle assessment are the Embodied Energy
based on primary energy and the Global Warming Potential (GWP).
Ø The training course
compromises the following:
1)
Life
cycle Inventory data collection process and sheets:
·
Examples
of data sheets per unit process.
·
Identification
of system boundary for the selected building material industries.
·
Description
of the required data to be collected for the calculations including Production
routes and technologies for each material.
·
Description
of data collection procedures.
·
Validation
of data including (i) data quality assessment, and ii) treatment of missing
data.
·
Criteria
for the inclusion of inputs (energy-water and material) and defining measuring
units.
·
Calculation
procedures.
·
Output
data (waste- emissions-material) defining measuring units.
2)
Processing
the data throughout all stages:
·
Production
(A1-A3)
·
Construction
(A4- A5)
·
Use
(B1- B7)
·
End
of life (C1- C4)
·
Benefits
and loads beyond system Boundary: Recycle- Reuse – Recovery (D)
Providing
excel sheets with equations for the calculations and the final output for the
developing of green building materials data base.
Explaining
how the collected data from the manufactures could be used by software for
developing environmental product declaration.
Demonstrating
a case study / solved example to better understand how to make use of the
obtained data.
Explaining
how manufacturers could measure energy and emissions throughout manufacturing
process in the local context.
