The guidance includes bypassing those heat recovery devices which may recirculate air in some circumstances, and considering air pathways – how air comes in, moves around and leaves a building.
The bedrock of data that threads all the way through the platforms process, can feed into the circular economy; building a core set of information that can be re-utilised, creating feedback loops that can then inform the design of future assets.In this way, Platform design and how it integrates with the bespoke sections of assets, becomes self-optimising.. Design that future proofs compliance.
The ability platforms give designers to consider and integrate all pertinent data in the earliest design concepts, mean that they can also consider operational efficiency.. On Landsec, the M&E solutions considered ease of cleaning and replacement.These cassettes were standardised across the building, so it merited the time to optimise them so that they would be of greatest value throughout the whole life of the asset.The standardised steel beams were provided with more penetrations than the design required, this pre-enabled the asset for future adaptations: with additional fixing points already cast into in the slab, the model is less likely to need updating as adaptations or refurbishments take place.. Summary.
With the construction sector currently facing challenges on multiple fronts, it should be at least encouraging that a number of topics – sustainability, productivity and safety – all point in the same direction; a simplified and digitally-enabled design and construction process, using repeatable components manufactured at scale and assembled using standardised processes..Text extracts are taken from IPA’s ‘.
Transforming Infrastructure Performance: Roadmap to 2030.
P-DfMA addresses numerous value drivers, the diagram below summarises some of the key aspects of the Building Safety Act, and how a platform approach aligns across the whole project lifecycle..But in the end, we are potentially the only people that can deliver that kind of solution because we do have a whole multidisciplinary approach to things.
