Nor do we think that the future of robotics in construction is in building robots to do jobs that we, or they, shouldn’t be doing in the first place.
Robust testing and early collaboration with manufacturers and utility providers are key to ensuring new solutions are both effective and safe..Sustainable Power: Turning a liability into an opportunity.
As data centres draw ever larger amounts of power, sustainability becomes central.Lincoln describes Edged’s parent organisation, Endeavour, as taking a holistic view of energy usage and carbon reduction.He explains the vision behind it:.
‘We have a company that oversees us… called Endeavour… really trying to solve global climate challenges that we’re facing right now with regards to the access to energy to meet the demands of these colo tenants while not continuing to hurt our planet.’.Edged aims to integrate on-site power generation - through microgrids, energy storage, or innovative cooling technology - to reduce reliance on conventional utilities.
This approach supports resiliency and could allow facilities to feed surplus energy back into public networks.
Though the transition to greener power is complicated, incremental steps such as more efficient cooling and reduced water usage can significantly lighten the environmental burden over time.. Urban vs. remote sites: A changing landscape.Then at the end of the process, we produce a detailed but understandable account explaining why the proposed solution is the best.
To do this with maximum effect we adopt an integrated design approach and use the latest digital construction technologies..It is the fundamental similarity between complex projects that led us to develop a method that is at once systematic, probing and analytical, and open and engaging in a way that both stimulates and supports a team’s creativity.. We realised that reaching the most efficient version of the most effective solution to their problem in an iterative and collaborative way, is what would truly deliver value to our clients.
As design becomes an increasingly automated activity, our role has been to develop a robust framework that focuses on organising the creative steps in the overall design process that are not easy to automate.These are the steps that require human judgment and interaction with stakeholders.. Design to Value – building on combined strengths.
