Some of the recommendations widely accepted in the industry for the re-occupation of buildings post-pandemic have a direct impact on energy efficiency.
We need to look across everything we’ve built and find the consistencies.We can’t do it by hand, we need to use algorithms and machine learning.
We need to decouple some of the process, which is done differently every time, to create certainty.. To illustrate her point, Marks raises the example of a generator, built consistently to a 250 horsepower capacity.With a generator, we already know its size, shape, and the way it will act.An architect wouldn’t request a generator of a custom capacity for a particular project, she says, because no one is going to decide that a manufactured product ought to be manufactured to a different capacity.. We don’t need to know many DfMA principles surrounding generators because they are productised, she says.
The problem with DfMA, “is that you have to not only understand the element that you're figuring out the rules for, but then you need to know the proprietary rules for that element.And you multiply those exponentially.
It's too many.”.
Creating an opportunity: prefabrication and productisation in construction.to the client and their partners, through solutions integrated into the client’s operational needs.. Ryan has most recently been working with clients in the Education, Private Healthcare and Pharmaceutical sectors to deliver complex projects in the UK and abroad.Paul O'Neill joined Bryden wood in 2000.
and multidisciplinary design teams working on projects which are at the forefront of innovative design and is involved in all stages of the design and construction process, from inception to completion.. Paul’s design capabilities, broad knowledge of construction techniques and experience in delivering highly complex projects, have enabled the realisation of a diverse range of projects.Paul also ensures quality, efficiency and added value is delivered throughout Bryden Wood’s projects.. Paul has extensive knowledge of the planning system and has delivered numerous approvals for a range of clients across many sectors.
This includes projects with complex phasing requirements, in terms of both future expandability and adaptability.His approach to all projects combines high-quality design with an effective and rigorous delivery process in order to exceed the client’s aspirations.
