However, it examines the absence of a detailed 'industrialisation strategy,' highlighting gaps in integrating academia with industry, supporting early-stage investment, and overcoming cultural barriers to productivity.
Virtual reality can be used to create replicas of buildings and spaces so the client and building users can experience a building before construction.This means modifications can be made to the design to improve it, reducing the likelihood of post-completion changes and the associated material usage..
Product as a service.Product hire allows products to be used multiple times during their life across a number of different buildings and applications.This means the product is used more times over its life, making it more worthwhile to manufacture and reducing the number needed, which equates to a more sustainable construction practice.. Take-back schemes, where manufacturers and suppliers will take back products and materials at the end of their life, enable waste to be minimised and known materials to be recycled within the production process.
This reduces raw material requirements for new products.. Minimise impact and waste for sustainable construction.Use low impact materials by considering the environmental impact at specification stage, alongside cost and technical considerations.
This also includes the manufacturing location of materials and the transportation distance to site..
The recycled content of materials should be maximised without significantly impacting the technical characteristics of the material..It was noted that there are streams of scientific development in Al models which can help predict the production of harmful impurities and detect these impurities cheaply at parts per billion and parts per trillion levels.. Standards are not just set by regulators.
Any party that sets specifications helps to create a myriad of different standards.Consistent requirements across jurisdictions and customers could accelerate progress..
If the change to biogenic solvents can be made easier from a regulatory perspective, the next question is about the economics and supply Vs demand.If reducing usage and waste along with increased recycling can lead the way, then the unit cost of the solvent becomes less and less relevant..
