Justification for use of the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Regulations § 5 b second paragraph of the third period. This procurement is for Ventilation and ECOX on the AHO. The most important climate footprint and environmental impacts in this procurement are: ·     Climate gas emissions and resource use connected to the use of new materials. ·     Climate gas emissions connected to energy use in the operation of AHO. ·     The generation of waste from the alterations of AHO. Concrete environmental requirements have been set in the competition in order to reduce the procurement ́s total climate footprint and environmental impact. It has been estimated that these requirements will give a better climate and environmental effect than the use of climate and environment as the award criterion.  In order to reduce climate gas emissions and the use of resources connected to new materials, re-use assessments have been made and described the use of parts of the ventilation installations and windows. Emission requirements have also been set for the most commonly used and emission intensive materials in the procurement. These are best practice level from the latest edition of Green Building Alliance's Green Material Guide. Passive house standards are required for new ventilation systems and windows in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions connected to energy use. In order to prevent emissions from waste generation, a high degree of sorting of all waste is required. Re-use assessments have also been made and re-use are required, as described above. The discarded windowed glass shall be recycled and not a landfill site. Statsbygg has assessed that the potential for further climate and environmental gains through a competition for award criteria is limited. This is because the requirements are set at the best practice level, both for materials and energy, as given by The Green Building Alliance and NS3701 (the passive house standard). An award criteria will therefore, to a small degree, be expected to provide better climate and environmental performance than the stipulated minimum requirements. Based on this, the terms for utilising the provision in the Norwegian Public Procurement Regulations § 5 b second paragraph of the third period are being assessed as fulfilled. Statsbygg is therefore exempted from the obligation to weight climate and the environment with a minimum of 30 percent or prioritise this among the three highest weighted award criteria.
