Prior to joining Bryden Wood, he led the technical development and process engineering on complex projects in diverse sectors, particularly pharmaceuticals and vaccines but extending to food, fine chemicals, consumer products, battery technology, industrial fibres, waste treatment and nuclear.
The design and procurement stages that follow can then also be compressed through focusing time and effort only on the bespoke elements of the largely standardised design.This approach has been enormously powerful for our clients: the ability to rapidly assess the viability of sites has saved months of uncertainty and prevented the inefficiency of wasted work.. Configuring Reference Design.
The rule and data-led thinking that defines Chips and how they can fit together in a design e.g.scale, adjacency, proximity etc.lends itself to the use of Configurators, which can be designed by our.
Creative Technologies.team, to automate the design process..
This isn’t a necessity – many clients have reported that just the process of defining and writing down their own rules processes is valuable, and the manual test fits are already far quicker than bespoke designs..
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.Adding insultation (rockwool) thickness in floor and ceiling from 190mm to 370mm of rockwool would increase carbon by 6 kgCO2/m2.
Reducing the boiler size from a 15kw electric boiler to a 3kw boiler would reduce carbon by 1.69 kgCO2/m2.Reducing the number of radiators from 10 to just one would reduce carbon by 10.7 kgCO2/m2.
Reducing the size of the photovoltaic array from 24 to 12 units would reduce carbon by 12 kgCO2/m2.All the above items added up together would mean just a reduction of around 4.7 kgCO2/m2, mainly due to the simplification of the heating and photovoltaic systems.
