Operational benefits.

Within our wider Design to Value approach and methodology, they provide a common language for all the people involved in a project, they enable collaboration and the rapid development and testing of multiple ideas.We've seen the benefits they deliver..

Using the same concept to enable advanced and automated design will only multiply those benefits.. To learn more about our Design to Value approach, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesDesign for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA).is a whole-project approach, starting with design and working through to assembly.

Designing with the detail of assembly in mind, and making sure that M&E engineers work closely with architects and structural engineers, we deliver built assets with performance as part of their DNA.And nowhere is this more relevant than in data centre design.. A data centre is about performance above all – minimising cost per kW, maximising IT yield per square metre, minimising energy and water consumption, maximising the efficiency of M&E building services, and minimising waste..

There are standard ways to address all of these value drivers, and many companies to do that.

But to really raise the bar on what can be achieved with data centre design and M&E services, it’s essential to understand the mechanical and electrical systems, the architecture and the structure as being intimately interconnected and fully interdependent.It is worth highlighting that the climate emergency is happening today, and so it is now that we need to reduce carbon emissions that produce global warming.

We cannot wait 20 or 40 years for the benefits of more efficient new buildings.This is the main reason why it is important that we prioritise refurbishment, reusing buildings that already exist..

If we account for the decarbonisation of material manufacturing (red dotted line), the difference between the adaptive reuse of buildings and new construction is even greater.. As part of this analysis, we calculated the WLCA using different performance benchmarks to prove that the conclusions would not depend on a specific baseline selected.The results below on the left, are based on LETI 2020/RIBA2025, and the ones on the right are based on LETI 2030/RIBA 2030.
