For example, neighbouring tenancies may currently rely on staff crossing through the new lab to reach a second means of escape, which might no longer be possible.
A platforms approach to construction has a profound impact on productivity, cost, carbon, skills, safety, and the potential for digital workflows to automate key pieces of the design process.Once the benefits are clear to both the public and private sectors, collaboration can make this a reality..

http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesWe like things in neat boxes, we like the tangible; things we can sense, see and touch.In times where there is a lack of clarity it can feel chaotic and unnerving.In these times we tend to grasp onto something, anything that relieves the feelings of being lost.
Like being swept away in a river, we feel the need to grab hold of the nearest branch or rock.These feelings are called by psychologists Ontological Insecurity.
The irony is that in these times and moments we can develop the best ideas, breakthrough arbitrary boundaries and find amazing solutions..
This is often the situation at the start of a design project.The results showed that the upfront carbon (the carbon used on day one to manufacture the materials, transport them to site, and to install them) was reduced by.
between the BaU scheme and the as-built performance of the P-DfMA scheme.This is a significant improvement which can be attributed to both the use of DfMA and the low carbon specification of materials..
Embodied carbon comparisons.The breakdown on a whole life basis (the embodied carbon both on day one and ongoing across the next 60 years, accounting for any maintenance and repairs and what happens when the building or components are at their end of life), shows the superstructure, external wall including curtain walling, and MEP to be the predominant contributors to the whole life carbon.
