This landmark project is not just a testament to architectural ingenuity but a leap toward a sustainable future, showcasing our commitment to transforming construction and significantly reducing carbon emissions..
http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesexplore how interdisciplinary collaboration and advanced technologies are driving significant advancements in sustainable building.. Click the 'play button' above to listen in, or read our 5 Key Takeaways from this episode below.... 1.Interdisciplinary collaboration enhances sustainability.
Pablo highlighted the unique advantage at Bryden Wood, where architects, engineers, and sustainability experts work under one roof.This setup facilitates a more integrated design process, allowing for seamless collaboration and innovation, especially in sustainability efforts.. 2.Role of modern methods of construction in sustainability.
The conversation emphasised the critical link between modern methods of construction (MMC), such as Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA), and sustainability.These approaches can significantly contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of buildings through more efficient designs and the use of sustainable materials.. 3.. Passivhaus as a sustainability benchmark:.
Pablo highlighted Passivhaus as a rigorous standard for energy efficiency in a building, reducing its ecological footprint.
It represents a robust model for achieving extreme energy efficiency and comfort via airtight building envelopes, high-performance windows, and ventilation with heat recovery.. 4.It avoids unnecessary variation that adds expense without value, focusing instead on efficiency and operational effectiveness.. Client-specific flexibility:.
Gain insights into how reference design varies based on client or sector needs, with examples from the Ministry of Justice and the healthcare sector, demonstrating the adaptability and customisation of the approach..Enhanced design process:.
Understand how reference design amplifies benefits, allowing for extensive stakeholder engagement and the integration of best practices into a repeatable design, leading to improvements in asset operation and maintenance..Continual improvement cycle:.
