Smart Infrastructure Estate Works Program Addendum

Smart Infrastructure: Design and Construction Version 1.0

EWP Preliminary Assessment Matrix

It is a requirement that the applicability of Smart Infrastructure is assessed for projects within the Estate Works Program.

The Estate Works Program (EWP) Preliminary Assessment Matrix is to be used when scoping projects and completing the Phase 1 Scope and Feasibility report. The Matrix comprises two parts: 1. Project Screening (Table 1) 2. Assessment Matrix (Table 2). When completing the EWP Preliminary Assessment Matrix:  Table 1 (Project Screening) is to be completed for every project (or groups of projects as appropriate) and filed with the relevant project documentation on Objective.  PDS at its discretion can exclude projects from applying the Assessment Matrix (Table 2) provided sufficient justification is documented in Table 1. For example, where the scope of works involve only one element of a larger facility and/or this element has little or no impact on the facility’s water or electricity consumption (e.g. upgrade of a single piece of equipment) meaning that the application of Smart Infrastructure presents little value for money.  Table 2 (Assessment Matrix) is to be completed for projects applying Smart Infrastructure and filed with the relevant project documentation.  Projects shall be marked using the ‘check box’ or equivalent, when the Assessment Matrix and/or Project Screening has been completed so the project is captured in project level reporting.  It remains the responsibility of the person scoping the project to ensure the relevant sections and clauses from Smart Infrastructure are applied to the project and this assessment is documented using the Project Screening (Table 1) and the Assessment Matrix (Table 2).  Multiple sections and associated clauses outlined in Table 2 may be applicable to a single project.

Project Screening Table 1 is to be completed for each project (or groups of projects as appropriate, e.g. projects that have similar scope or are grouped into work packages). Justification is to be provided using the screening criteria in the case where Smart Infrastructure has been considered and is not being applied (i.e. no Assessment Matrix (Table 2) will be completed).

After considering the project it can be justified that the Smart Infrastructure Manual should not be applied due to one or more of the following screening criteria:  Project size limiting any benefit to Defence  Scope of works not applicable  Limited opportunity to impact on Defence’s resource consumption (e.g. energy, water or material use) or diversion of waste from landfill1 over the life of the equipment/facility/infrastructure.

Table 1: Project Level Assessment PDS Project Name Applying Justification – for where ‘No’ is used refer to the PDS (or relevant scope Project ID Smart screening criteria manager) Infrastructur Name, date assessed e? (Y/N) E.g. scope for an EWP project may represent a minor part of an existing facility or a project may align to matrix categories but actual works are not suitable to application of Smart Infrastructure and provide little value for money to Defence.

1 Waste diversion opportunities can be realised during both the operation and construction phase of the infrastructure lifecycle. Designs can influence how much waste is diverted from landfill during the use of the facility by allowing for sufficient receptacles and storage areas for the recycling waste streams. During demolition and civil works construction waste can be reused or recycled.

Assessment Matrix Table 2 is to be completed only for project (s) applying Smart Infrastructure. Justification is to be provided in the case where individual clauses or Sections are not being applied (i.e. where ‘N’ is entered in the ‘Applicable’ column). Table 2: Assessment Matrix Where works involve Resource Refer to the following sections in Smart Applicabl Comments – justification required the following Category Infrastructure e (Y / N / where ‘No’ is used2 elements: Not in scope) Electrical infrastructure, Energy Options Cl. 4.1.5.1 Assessment of potential for energy generation – assessment in mainstream alternative and renewable alternative or renewable Section 4.1.5 energy sources to supplement power sources Renewable and supply Equipment – domestic hot Alternative Energy Cl. 4.1.5.2 Domestic hot water water Opportunities, and Equipment – traditional fuel Appendix C - WOL Cl. 4.1.5.3 Traditional fuel generators in generators Assessment remote areas Equipment – pool heating Cl. 4.1.5.4 Heated swimming pools Equipment – pool covers Energy Section 4.2.7 Cl. 4.2.7.1 Pool covers Recreation Equipment, systems and Energy Section 4.1.7 Lighting, Appendix C - WOL Assessment controls – lighting Equipment, systems and Energy Section 4.1.8 Heating, Cooling and Ventilation, controls – HVAC Appendix C - WOL Assessment Building sealing, insulation Energy Section 4.1.9 Building Sealing, Insulation and Glazing and glazing Appliances and equipment Energy Section 4.1.2 Cl. 4.1.2.1 Domestic appliances and Appliances and equipment Equipment, Section 4.2.1 Cl. 4.1.2.2 Commercial dryers Accommodation Cl. 4.1.2.3 ICT equipment

2 Where ‘N’ is entered in the ‘Applicable’ column then justification is required. In the case of the clause being out of scope and this is evident by the project description in Table 1 (e.g. energy clause for a paint project), then ‘Not in scope’ in the ‘Applicable’ column is sufficient. Where ‘N’ is entered for other reasons (e.g. the clause is judged as not feasible to the specific scope of works due to security reasons etc.) then justification with sufficient detail needs to be provided.
