BSA compliance data, tolerances, load, thermal performance and energy efficiency technical standards, rules around interoperability etc..

http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesTogether, they explore the evolving landscape of sustainable building design, discussing how the integration of building physics and sustainability can dramatically reduce environmental impacts from the initial design stages through to construction and operation..This episode also tackles the pertinent issue of designing buildings in the post-COVID era, focusing on ventilation, air quality, and the balance between energy efficiency and occupant health.

Moreover, Jaimie and Helen explore the critical role of embodied carbon in sustainable architecture and the innovative technologies that are shaping the future of the built environment.Learn about the strategies that are not only advancing sustainable design but are also setting new standards for the industry.. Click the 'play button' above to listen in, or read our 5 Key Takeaways from this episode below.... 1.Integration of sustainability and building physics.

Helen Hough emphasises the integration of sustainability and building physics in architectural and engineering projects.The goal is to design buildings that reduce environmental impacts from the early design stages through construction and operation, enhancing both sustainability and building performance.. 2.

Adapting building design for COVID and beyond.

The podcast discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced building design, particularly around ventilation and air quality.So demand control ventilation, activated by CO. 2. sensors, provides an optimal level of fresh air in fitness areas.

And in the same way, an advanced, mixed mode system with Building Management System control, ventilates the sports halls.By using low energy passive ventilation for periods of lower use, but powerful mechanical ventilation at peak times, it minimises energy consumption whilst maximising the comfort of users.

Occupant thermal comfort modelling demonstrated that mechanical systems were able to keep people at a comfortable temperature, whatever the weather.This gained HEA04 BREEAM credits, and contributed to the projects’ BREEAM Very Good rating.. A-rated energy performance.
