In the United Kingdom, there’s great craftsmanship, as well as in Ireland, where they’ve adopted manufacturing techniques.
Primary School Configurator., developed by Bryden Wood, with Innovate UK funding is an open source, user-friendly web-based app, which configures a primary school building on a specific site in line with DfE requirements.
This reduces a process that normally takes weeks, to a matter of minutes.A similar configurator, called., has been created by Bryden Wood and Cast with the Mayor of London for housing and we see examples from outside the industry such as the Ikea 3D Kitchen Planner..
These digital tools vastly increase both the speed with which designers progress from data to the digital model and the number of options and permutations that can be considered when it comes to reconciling specific requirements and performance criteria.A school, for example, can be configured in just 15 minutes.. Key insight.
We will need more.
convincing mechanisms to ensure that what was designed is what is built..It will also result in reduced energy consumption in use, as well as reducing the capital cost of MEP systems.. To make sure we use the most appropriate passive sustainable design measures, we test them for optimum results using computer simulations.
This means we know far more about how a building is due to operate than we ever have before.We can fine tune the building to make it run as efficiently as possible before it is even built, making further energy cost savings..
Sustainable design and build for the circular economy.We shouldn’t stop at lowering embodied and operational carbon when creating low carbon, sustainable buildings.
