method.
2. Simulated Conditions. Simulating conditions shall be allowed, though timing the
testing to experience actual conditions is encouraged wherever practical.
3. Overridden Values. Overriding sensor values to simulate a condition, such as
overriding the outside air temperature reading in a control system to be something
other than it really is, is acceptable.
4. Simulated Signals. Using a signal generator which creates a simulated signal to test
and calibrate transducers and DDC constants is generally recommended over using
the sensor to act as the signal generator via simulated conditions or overridden
values.
5. Altering Setpoints. Rather than overriding sensor values, and when simulating
conditions is difficult, altering setpoints to test a sequence is acceptable.
6. Indirect Indicators. Relying on indirect indicators for responses or performance shall
be allowed only after visually and directly verifying and documenting, over the range
of the test parameters, that the indirect readings through the control system
represent actual conditions and responses.
7. Setup. Each performance test shall be performed under conditions that simulate
actual conditions as closely as is practically possible. The
contractor/subcontractor(s) assisting the ICC in executing the test shall provide all
necessary materials, system modifications, etc., to produce the necessary flows,
pressures, temperatures, etc., necessary to execute the test according to the
specified conditions. At completion of the test, the contractor/subcontractor(s) shall
return all affected equipment and systems to their approved operating settings.
A. Documentation. The ICC shall witness and verify/pre-approve the documentation of the
results of all performance tests. The ICC shall complete all documentation for performance
testing.
B. Non-Conformance.

SUSTAINABLE JOB SITE OPERATIONS
CONSTRUCTION WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Overview
The planned new Residential Building Project, at Plot C33, Yas Island - Abu Dhabi, will implement a
construction waste management plan to meet the requirements of the Abu Dhabi Urban Planning
Green Building Rating System. Specifically, this project seeks to reduce
construction landfill waste by 50% and a minimum of 30% of construction & demolition waste (by
weight or volume) excluding hazardous waste that must undergo specialized treatment. The inevitable
waste that is generated during each of these stages will be reused, salvaged, or recycled through local
and regional companies, organizations, and partners.
Main Contractor is responsible to deploy the processes that ensure the generation of as little waste as
possible due to error, poor planning, breakage, mishandling, contamination, or other factors shall be
employed.
The subcontractor will make a good faith effort to reduce the amount of waste generated on the job-site
and recycle material as per the contractor's Waste Management Plan. The subcontractor will follow the
designated handling procedures for each type of waste generated on-site and provide documentation
to verify material reuse, recycling, and disposal as indicated in the waste management plan.

.
Develop and implement an effective construction waste management that quantifies material diversion
goals. Calculations can be done by weight or volume, but must be consistent throughout.
Each credit a project attempts using the ESTIDAMA certification system requires documentation to
prove the activity was completed to specific standards. The general contractor is normally responsible
