The GLA requires the preparation of a WLCA pre-planning and at post-construction and requires the analysis of the results both with the current carbon factors and a decarbonised scenario.. Additionally, bodies such as the London Energy Transformation Initiative (LETI), RIBA, GLA and UKGBC, have developed guidance documents on embodied carbon, which include specific targets and roadmaps to zero carbon prior 2050.
Data-rich models can generate automatic reports to demonstrate design compliance.. Simplified systems and processes enable simplified interactions.The Platform Engineering (P-DfMA) Solution described above and the simplification of processes resulting from this design, enable much simpler and standardised interactions between customers and producers and between the various producers that make up the supply chain to deliver these buildings.
This allows us to achieve the scale and speed of refurbishments that are required..Significant amounts of the design are simpler and can be done much more quickly by a wide range of designers.The components that make up the built solution can be mass produced by existing manufacturing supply chains.
Significant parts of the assembly process can be done by non-nuclear construction supply chain, much more quickly, and decoupled from the nuclear parts of the building.This all means that a wide range of coal plant fleet owners will now have access to a cost-effective, non-risky, speedy solution for replacing coal.
A wide range of reactor manufacturers will have access to a significantly increased and different range of clients.
Interesting large scale de-risked investment opportunities will become available, in companies that develop and deliver the constituent parts of the overall solution.Defining Chips for the project.
At a point in each project, we go through the process of defining Chips for that project, in order to develop a Chip library.This can start with a reference design, or a blank piece of paper.
Or we might start with a similar type of project for which we've generated Chips in the past.. Chips can be made at different levels.A chip is not a module or a piece of equipment, it's a part of a chain.
