Together, this often means good transport connections, high-spec and high-tech spaces, lots of internal and external glazing, environments that are comfortable (e.g.
We've seen the benefits they deliver..Using the same concept to enable advanced and automated design will only multiply those benefits.. To learn more about our Design to Value approach, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.
http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesDesign for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA).is a whole-project approach, starting with design and working through to assembly.Designing with the detail of assembly in mind, and making sure that M&E engineers work closely with architects and structural engineers, we deliver built assets with performance as part of their DNA.
And nowhere is this more relevant than in data centre design.. A data centre is about performance above all – minimising cost per kW, maximising IT yield per square metre, minimising energy and water consumption, maximising the efficiency of M&E building services, and minimising waste..There are standard ways to address all of these value drivers, and many companies to do that.
But to really raise the bar on what can be achieved with data centre design and M&E services, it’s essential to understand the mechanical and electrical systems, the architecture and the structure as being intimately interconnected and fully interdependent.
Each of these facets must work in harmony to maximise the potential for optimal data centre design and that is impossible to do when the project is divided up and these areas are treated separately..The main benefit of the refurbishment of the urban fabric is a substantial saving in embodied carbon, but a new building can benefit from lower carbon emissions in operation.. Bryden Wood has carried out a detailed WLCA analysis of a light-tough refurbishment, full refurbishment and new construction for a commercial building based on benchmark from LETI and RIBA in order to understand which option is less carbon intensive after 60 years.
The results clearly show that.adaptive reuse is more beneficial in both the short and long term..
It is important to re-iterate that the climate emergency is happening right now.We need to focus on solutions that have an immediate positive impact.
