She’s also pleased with the decision to have an annual holding to account, rather than the five year timeframe we’ve previously been using.
It's the intelligent bit and the bit that adds value.. Chips are enabling tools that do a lot of work and add a lot of value.Within our wider Design to Value approach and methodology, they provide a common language for all the people involved in a project, they enable collaboration and the rapid development and testing of multiple ideas.
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.The operational carbon estimates are based on RIBA ‘business as usual’ (light-touch refurbishment), our own assessment of 2020 good practice (full adaptive reuse refurbishment) and RIBA 2030 targets (new construction).
The operational carbon emissions are based on the assumption that at the current rate of decarbonisation, the emissions by 2040 will be 67gCO./kWh (BEIS 2040), and that by 2050 they will be zero carbon..
The charts below show the total accumulated carbon emissions and the detailed 60-year projection of the three cases.Looking at the total emissions after 60 years, light refurbishment is the most advantageous adaptive reuse option (26% less carbon than new construction), followed by a full refurbishment (23% better than new construction).
