To ensure an efficient reduction of the environmental impact of the Audiovisual Work, limiting as much as possible polluting and climate-changing emissions and the waste of energy resources. To rationalise the use of resources while also favouring economic savings.
SECTION A: Energy saving |
Rating | |
---|---|---|
A1 | Use of electricity coming from power distribution grid | 4 points |
A2 | Green Power | 1 points |
A3 | LED lighting | 2 points |
Requirements
Use only power supplied via temporary connections to the power distribution grid, contacting local suppliers, reducing the use of electric generator units powered by non-renewable energy sources to a minimum.
100% days of shooting using grid electricity > 4 points
75% days of shooting using grid electricity > 3 points
Observations and suggestions
The use of electricity coming from the power distribution grid involves a fixed cost upon agreeing the contract and variable costs calculated on actual consumption in kilowatts per hour, which costs much less than using portable power generators. After each location inspection, the competent energy supplier in the area hosting the shoot must be contacted in order to verify the possibility of a temporary connection.
Verification procedure
Document verification. Produce the originals or copies of the following:
On-set verification. The purpose of the on-set verification conducted by the Verifying Body is to verify the electricity source actually used.
Requirements
Use of electricity coming from renewable sources.
For filming in locations where electricity can be drawn from third parties via temporary connections, the power must come exclusively from renewable sources.
In other cases, use renewable source generators (e.g.: photovoltaic, biodiesel, etc.) for on-site power production.
100% days of shooting using electricity produced from renewable sources > 3 points
75% days of shooting using electricity produced from renewable sources > 2 points
Observations and suggestions
To demonstrate that the power used is 100% from renewable sources, use supplies with a “Guarantee of Origin” certificate or obtain a signed statement from the supplier regarding the renewability of all of the energy sources used for producing the electricity supplied to the production.
Verification procedure
Document verification. Produce the originals or copies of the following:
On-set verification. The purpose of the on-set verification conducted by the Verifying Body is to verify the temporary connection under contract with the option of supply coming from renewable energy sources and/or the presence of the renewable source generators used.
Requirements
Limit the use of incandescent, halogen or fluorescent lighting systems and prefer lighting devices with LED technology.
100% of lighting systems used are LED > 2 points
75% of lighting systems used are LED > 1 point
Observations and suggestions
Incandescent, halogen and fluorescent lamp lighting systems consume much more electricity than LED lamps, and therefore negatively affect environmental sustainability and costs.
Verification procedure
Document verification. Produce the originals or copies of the following:
On-set verification.
The purpose of the on-set verification conducted by the Verifying Body is to take note of the lighting systems actually used.
