4. Reduction Strategies
4.1 Fuel and Equipment Efficiency
Replace diesel vehicles with newer, lower-emission models.
Use hybrid or electric construction machinery where possible.
Implement scheduled maintenance to ensure optimal engine performance.
4.2 Site Operations
Use modular and prefabricated materials to reduce on-site emissions.
Optimise logistics to reduce fuel use (e.g., consolidate deliveries).
Use local materials to reduce transport distances.
4.3 Office and Workshop Energy Use
Upgrade to LED lighting.
Install programmable thermostats and improve insulation.
Transition to renewable electricity suppliers.
