When the model is run, the simulation engine dynamically uses resources and components to complete the tasks and the model statistics derived could indicate how both individual processes, and the system, would perform..
We aim to give such a response to all different challenges, looking for synergies and using building physics and analytical tools to support our decisions..The building of the future is energy efficient, but also a place with higher standards in terms of air quality, daylight and thermal experience, with a strong connection to nature.
A new focus on healthy architecture will create buildings where materials are selected not just for their architectural and structural properties, but also with the potential effect on occupant health in mind..Such a holistic approach to design for wellbeing will, ultimately, be of benefit to all of us.. To learn more about our Design to Value approach to design and construction, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesWhile the fields of design and architecture have been pushing ahead with Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), BIM and 3D models, the planning process hasn’t actually changed much since the 1940s and remains largely paper-based.
Thankfully, due to technological advancement, we now have the ability to modernise planning, and the emphasis on digitisation in the planning white paper provides high-level support.At Bryden Wood, our Creative Technologies team has been working alongside the London Borough of Southwark, the Centre for Digital Built Britain and 3D Repo to advance the issue..
The quest to digitise the planning system involves a complex ecosystem of different industry players coming together.
Jack Ricketts, a planner at London Borough of Southwark, doesn’t want to see the planning process holding others back.For a number of reasons, the UK was the best option.
Then of course we had to find a suitable location in the UK and masterplan the site.The conclusion we came to was to knock down a series of existing buildings close to the current facility.
This would allow us to build the new refinery while keeping the old one going for as long as possible, before transferring operations to the new one.. As you can imagine, a refinery is a hugely technical building and the M&E element is the most significant part of the project.We designed the building, it went out to tender and is currently in construction.
