1 SPECIAL CONDITIONS RELATED IGBC CERTIFICATION TO
CIVIL, PHE, FIRE, HVAC & ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS

Deepak nitrite ltd is developing a new manufacturing facility at Savli, Gujarat India as per IGBC
Green New Building Rating System norms and aspiring to get the coveted gold rating.

As part of Tender specifications and drawings, several green features have been incorporated in
material selection and specification. IGBC certification process also lays emphasis on certain
measures during Construction stage.

IGBC certification process requires documentation in terms of sourcing of materials and its
components, particularly, with reference to eco friendliness, energy efficiency, water efficiency,
recycled content, avoidance of harmful chemicals in the process, distance from where procured etc.
A detailed green fact sheets has been prepared by the IGBC Consultant for obtaining such
information from respective manufacturer.

The Contractor shall be responsible to supply materials and equipment complying with the green
building specification spelt out in the tender documents strictly and the specification of material
and equipment shall be submitted for the specific items covered in the green building requirements
for the review of IGBC Consultant prior to ordering the material and equipment.

The above process does not involve any change of specifications except for the need for supportive
documentation. Hence this activity and support required from the successful bidder does not entail
any additional time and cost implication or change in the Contract value.

The Contractor has to make sure that the proposal given for the IGBC Consultant approval shall
comply with the IGBC Green Building rating system and requirements.

To comply with this requirement, wherever called for, the Contractor shall provide necessary
documents / shop drawings issued by the manufacturers and this document shall generally cover,
test certificates, Letter of authorization in terms of standards, thermal values, and relevant data,
MSDS, write-ups / detailed description of the material / equipment, as stipulated by the IGBC
consultant prior to ordering the materials and after the supply of materials or at appropriate stages.

The contractor shall verify with the IGBC consultant regarding the correctness of the green
specification before ordering and procurement of materials and equipment supplied to the project.
This requirement to be strictly complied by the Contractor or after supply, if the specification, the
shop documents, drawings and the relevant documents are not meeting the specified norms; it is

Page 3 of 15
the sole responsibility of the Contractor to satisfy the specified green norms by replacing the
materials / equipment on prior approval of the Clients / PMC.

Please therefore confirm by returning this copy duly signed that you accept the above requirements
and agree to comply with the same during the execution of work should your firm be selected.

CONSTRUCTION IAQ MANAGEMENT PLAN: BEFORE OCCUPANCY: BUILDING

FLUSH OUT:
I. Develop an IAQ management plan and implement it after all finishes have been installed and the
building has been completely cleaned before occupancy by following method:
“After construction ends, prior to occupancy and with all interior finishes installed, conduct
baseline IAQ testing using testing protocols consistent with the ISO method (listed below in Table
12) and demonstrate that the maximum concentration levels of contaminants are not exceeded, as
listed below in Table 12, in all regularly occupied areas and common areas.
For each sampling point where the maximum concentration limits are exceeded, conduct additional
flush-out with outside air, and retest the specific parameter(s) exceeded to comply with the
requirement. Repeat procedure until all requirements have been met. When retesting non-
complying building areas, take samples from the same locations as in the first test.

Page 12 of 15
The air sample testing shall be conducted as follows:
 All air sample testing measurements to be conducted before occupancy and during normal
occupied hours. The ventilation system should be operational starting at the normal start
time operated at minimum outside air flow rate under the occupied mode.
 Prior to testing the building shall have all interior finishes installed.
 The number of sampling locations will vary depending upon the size of the building and
number of ventilation systems. For each portion of the building served by a separate

ventilation system, the number of sampling points shall not be less than one per 2,500 sq.
m. (or) For each contiguous floor area, whichever is larger, and include areas with the least
ventilation and greatest presumed source strength.
 Air samples shall be collected between 1 meter and 2 meters from the floor, to represent
the
 breathing zone of occupants, and over a minimum 4-hour period.
II) Develop and implement an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) management plan during construction and
pre-occupancy phase, addressing the following measures, as applicable:
 Scheduling
o Coordinate construction activities to minimize disruption of occupied spaces.
o Carefully sequence construction activities to minimize IAQ issues.
o Protect stored on-site and installed absorptive materials from moisture damage.
o Do not install moisture-damaged materials unless they have been properly dried.
 Electrical & Mechanical Equipment & Systems Protection
o Store equipment & systems in a clean, dry location.
o Protect ducts and equipment by sealing openings.
o Clean air plenums before use.
 Housekeeping
o Implement practices to ensure a clean job site to control potential contaminants such as
dirt, dust, and debris.
o Clean up spills and keep work areas dry.
 Isolate Clean Areas
o Isolate areas to prevent contamination of clean or occupied spaces using physical
separation.
 Source Control
o Avoid use of finish materials with high VOC and formaldehyde levels.
o Isolate and ventilate, as appropriate, when using any toxic materials or creating exhaust
fumes.
o Implement measures to avoid the tracking of pollutants into the work area and occupied
