The purpose of the facility was to ensure continuity of supply of a vital HIV treatment, and therefore the social value of the project was huge.
This is mainly due to the reduction in emissions from Scope 3 (commuting)..The price of land, especially in cities like London, has pushed developers to build deeper and taller buildings without much space for green infrastructure.
Deep plan buildings do not prioritise design for wellbeing, as they reduce daylight availability and visual connection to the outdoors, and also limit the possibility of opening windows, making them unsuitable for creating healthy indoor environments.Moving office hubs to the urban periphery, where prices and density are lower, can create an opportunity for healthy architecture, as narrow-plate spaces provide better and healthier environmental conditions.Lower land prices also facilitate the development of open green spaces between buildings, bringing the added benefits of biophilic design.. Lower occupancy densities and the adoption of flexible working hours also mean new spatial requirements; reducing individually assigned spaces, more hot desking and creating flexible office spaces with adaptable layouts.
These adaptations will require innovative HVAC design which can address changes in local environments with suitable sensors and control systems..Newly adopted habits also affect residential design.
In many cases, domestic buildings used to be empty during the central hours of the day, but with the more frequent adoption of homeworking, daylight, thermal comfort and air quality will become more important.
The standards for daylight in residential buildings, for instance, have always been lower than in workspaces, and overheating is a growing phenomenon in new homes in the UK.The variation of the design and interfaces are standardised and controlled: only the differences need to be reviewed.
Rich data representation can provide regulatory reviewers with relevant information in the appropriate format at each stage of the process.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..
