B. The PQP may be any of the construction team members such as Project manager, Construction Manager, Site Engineer, or HSE Officer. C. The PQP should review all documents produced during the Pearl Design Rating Stage, all approved management plans should be implemented during the project construction. Plans, handbooks and guides should be updated where required. D. The PQP needs to manage the implementation of credits' requirements, and handle the documentation process and ensure the compilation of all documents required for the Pearl Construction Rating Submission. 2. Products A. PBRS Credit Summary: Generally, the project shall comply with the requirements of all credits fulfilled during design stage as clarified in the "Credit Points Summary" document in Appendix 1.
3. Execution This section clarifies requirements of certain credits to be fulfilled by the contractor; however for full documentation requirements the PQP shall refer to the PBRS guide, shown in Appendices 1, 2 and 3. Generally, the project shall comply with the requirements of the following credits: IDP-R3: Basic Commissioning: The Contractor has to employ an independent commissioning contractor to commission the installed systems and develop a Building Log Book (BLB) in accordance to CIBSE TM31 or similar guide (Any other guide needs to be approved by the Engineer). The commissioning should be executed as per the commissioning plan approved as part of the design rating. The Commissioning Contractor shall provide Commissioning results demonstrating compliance with all associated credits (including but not limited to LBi-R1: Healthy Ventilation Delivery); the commissioning process shall cover - at minimum - the following systems: -HVAC; -On-site energy generation (including co-generation), if applicable; -Building Management System; -Lighting and lighting controls; -Domestic hot and cold water systems; -On-site water treatment systems including swimming pools (if applicable); and -Automated control features such as blinds (If applicable). IDP-6: Sustainability Communication: Update the Preliminary Occupant Handbook document which is approved during the Pearl Design Rating Stage. The Occupant Handbook should include a list of information that will enable building occupants to appreciate, understand and contribute to responsible resource use in the building. The list below indicates the minimum requirements to be included in the Occupant Handbook: -The building's energy and water efficiency measures and how occupant behaviour affects the building performance as follows: -This should give owners and occupiers information on energy-efficient features and strategies relating to the building, and also provide an overview of the reasons for their use (e.g. economic and environmental savings). -Information could include: information on the operation of innovative features such as lighting control systems etc., and guidance on the impacts of strategies covering window opening and the use of blinds, lighting and heating controls as well as impact of occupant behaviour. -Details of water saving features and their use and benefits, e.g. aerating taps, low flush WCs, water monitoring, metering etc. as well as impact of occupant behaviour on water consumption.
-Information on the building's indoor environmental quality and how it is measured, monitored and managed (e.g. thermostat location and use); -Information on materials used in the building, including environmental and social benefits, as appropriate; -Waste and recycling policies and information such as location, sorting requirements (if any) and the use of green waste (if applicable); -Locations of nearby public transport to include maps and time tables, shuttle service, carpooling and on-site bicycle facilities; and -Tenant fit-out considerations, such as low-energy lighting installations, to maximize the building performance potential and minimize environmental impacts. LBo-R3: Outdoor Thermal Comfort Strategy & LBo-1: Improved Outdoor Thermal Comfort Strategy: Improved Outdoor Thermal Comfort: Where cover is provided by structures such as canopies or other architectural elements, the outer surface of the shading element must have a minimum SRI of 29 as per the following table, Contractor shall submit Evidence that all purchased and installed covers have compliant outer surface SRIs.

LBo-8: Preferred Car Parking Spaces: The car parking includes 3Nos. car park spaces identified priority vehicles parking, 2Nos. parking spaces shall have an industrial socket/isolator convenient for plugging the charge cord for battery charging for vehicles as per specification section 16442.
LBo-10: Light Pollution Reduction: No incandescent lamps shall be installed within the project, and all internal and permanently installed fluorescent lighting installations shall incorporate high frequency electronic ballasts. All rooms intended for individual occupancy shall be equipped with occupancy sensors. For full details refer to specification section 16511. LBi-2.1: Materials Emissions Adhesives & Sealants: Contractor must submit Product Data to confirm use of low emission adhesives and sealants to encourage the desirability of spaces in relation to improved occupant health and demonstrate that a minimum of 95% (by weight) of all adhesives and sealants used on the building interior must not exceed the prescribed VOC limits in South Coast Air Quality Management District Rule 1168, some of which are reproduced in the table below. -For sealants and sealant primers used inside the weatherproofing system, documentation including printed statement of VOC content. The VOC limits of the remaining non compliant adhesives and sealants must be no more than 50% higher than values listed for each product type. -Reference: South Coast Air Quality Management District (California, U.S.) - Rule 1168 "Adhesive and Sealant Applications", (www.aqmd.gov).
