SIS-TOOL
At the outset, it is an ideal, a concept : Consensus for designing sustainable industrial sites
However :
all of which presents a need for measurement and assessment instruments.
- it is difficult to translate this concept into reality
- there is a diversity of sites
- there is a lack of reference
Measurement – Planning – Execution
To adopt a sustainable approach is to commit to a continuous process of improvement.
The study may be conducted at two levels :
- At the level of the company or parcel (infrastructure and surroundings)
- At the level of the entire Business park (all of the parcels and the common spaces)
Which criteria are used to evaluate the sustainability of a Business park ?
Currently, the number of these criteria has been reduced to six. This does not mean that others do not exist, but these are the ones which have been deemed most significant.
- Materials
- Mobility
- Biodiversity
- Energy
- Water
- Waste
Given that the system is modular, there is potential for change and development.
What is considered important :
- The clarity of assessment instruments
- The ability to apply the tools to all types of companies and Business Parks
- The freedom to choose the scope and to work at various levels (single company, group of companies, Business Park)
