16.2.3 Narrative showing how the selected technology has amounted to reduction in high-energy
materials or regional availability when compared with equivalent products for the same
application. On-site photographs and construction project management plan, which would
clearly demonstrate the use/ construction/specifi cations of low-energy technologies.
16.3 Appraisal (maximum 4 points)
16.3.1 Structural application
Use of low-energy materials/effi cient technologies in structural application clearly
demonstrating a minimum 5% reduction in the embodied energy, when compared with
equivalent products for the same application, for 100% structural system used in a building,
meeting the equivalent strength requirements, as per all compliance clauses (2 points).
16.3.2 Non-structural application
Use of low-energy materials/effi cient technologies (not based on the utilization of industrial
waste), which are used for non-structural applications such as infi ll wall system and cause a
minimum fi ve per cent reduction in the embodied energy, when compared with equivalent
products for the same application, for 100% infi ll wall system used in a building, meeting
the equivalent strength requirements, as per all the compliance clauses (2 points).
