We’re a size that allows us to travel long distances.
By doing so, teams can leverage collaborative workshops and iterative processes to refine sustainability goals continually.. 5.Data-driven and science-based approaches.
The discussion underscored the importance of a data-driven approach in the field of sustainable design and construction.By utilising advanced simulations and analytics, teams at Bryden Wood can optimise designs to achieve higher sustainability standards, ultimately contributing to the broader goal of reducing the industry’s carbon footprint..These insights provide a deeper understanding of how we are integrating sustainability into our projects and the importance of DfMA and interdisciplinary collaboration in driving these initiatives..
Learn more about how we cut carbon on The Forge in our video, '.Exploring The Forge: A Video Insight into Cutting-Edge Carbon Reduction.Bryden Wood’s unique, 10-step design approach to Passivhaus, and our adoption of Platform Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA), facilitates the achievement of stringent Passivhaus performance targets, creating the perfect response to reduce construction cost and programme, whilst also responding to the labour skills shortage.
At the same time, our innovative approach facilitates a well-integrated design that addresses the complexities of Passivhaus via high-quality fabrication.. What is Passivhaus?.
Passivhaus is a well-established, international building performance standard that delivers resilient, ultra-low energy consumption buildings, whilst maintaining the highest levels of occupant thermal comfort and air quality experience..Typically, a Reference Design will contain a number of repeated elements at varying scales (from key equipment to whole assets) that can be configured in a number of different ways (with more or less flexibility in how these are arranged depending on the asset type).. For some assets, the Reference Design can become the fixed design.
The house blocks we designed for the.Ministry of Justice prisons rollout.
are a good example; highly standardised, they are identical on every site, only the number and orientation changes and is dictated by the prison population and aspect/prospect of the site.The UK prisons rollout is reporting dramatic reductions in delivery schedule with much improved certainty on just the second project to use this approach..
