However, the concurrent benefits of adopting a Platform approach are much more wide-reaching; the transformation of a construction industry in crisis and the creation of a safer, healthier and more sustainable way of building for both ourselves and our planet.. Building our future with sustainable infrastructure.
They're used in different ways at different stages of a project, or in different ways by different users within a project..The data structures that we build around Chips allow data to be aggregated between different levels.. We can associate any type of data with a Chip.
Conventional engineering data is perhaps the most obvious, but we also include data like staffing levels, containment requirements, power consumption, or even the level of design uncertainty.This allows for visualisation of different issues within a project..It's important that when we define chips, we don't leave gaps.
We aim to capture everything: the building, the equipment, operations, software, hazards, quality requirements, whatever is important in that system.At the point of inquiry, we are trying to get that information loaded into that Chip..
When we are creating plans, we like to work in three dimensions from the very early part of the project.
Chips help speed up the process, because we can move chunks of the design around very quickly and keep data associated with them.It is not sustainable, or desirable, to continue building more and more traditional data centres.
By ensuring that every element of these crucial facilities is viewed as an integral part of the whole, and by optimising all of them together, we will continue to work with our clients to ensure that the future of this market is a positive one.What is operational carbon?.Operational carbon refers to the emissions of a building during its operation.
This includes regulated carbon emissions (heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting and domestic hot water) and unregulated carbon emissions which include small power and plug-in systems.. What is embodied carbon?.Embodied carbon refers to the carbon emissions generated by a building over its lifetime, including the processing, manufacture and distribution of building elements, the construction itself, the use of the building, the end-of-life scenarios and opportunities for reuse and recycle.. What does net zero carbon mean?.
