For tall buildings this can lead to very high stacks that would impact the building’s appearance and will likely require Planning Permission.

However, codifying these rules to drive an algorithmic or computational design process, results in a dramatic increase in the speed and quality of adapting Reference Design to a myriad of constraints and needs.On our website, for example, you can see.

an app that tests the suitability of new sites for schools.by configuring the potential options in 10 minutes,.an apartment block configured in half an hour.

a motorway in an hour.At this speed, we can beta test many more options than could usually be considered – one of our client specific configurators will generate many thousands of completely compliant test fits in a matter of minutes, to select the solutions which best suit a specific site.. Industrialising Reference Design.

Reference Design is of immediate benefit to the current design to construction market; even if built using a traditional process, there will be benefits brought by the optimal design (via optimisation of adjacencies and the standardisation inherent in Reference Design)..

However the greater opportunities lie in its ability to unlock DfMA and industrialised construction; using Reference Design for a programmatic roll out gives Portfolio clients an opportunity to move up the adoption scale at a pace that allows the supply chain to move confidently with them.We will also always consider how this lab equipment gets to the location in the first place, and any subsequent special requirements..

Mechanical Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) requirements for lab design.A laboratory design should be services-led.

It’s up to the services engineer to fully understand the client laboratory equipment, the room requirements, the health and safety issues and the processes within the lab, as well as understanding what the other disciplines need to provide.The purpose of the lab space is to provide the users with a safe and controlled environment for their experiments and processes, which are undertaken by and within lab equipment.
