Creating, innovating, and assessing design ideas can only be done within the context of this captured understanding.. What needs to be remembered is that Value is not generated at a single point, there is a value chain.
Barnet Copthall has an Asset Rating of 20 which exceeds the requirements of Part L2a, and delivers CO. 2. emission reductions of over 37% when compared to the target building.They are good examples of projects that follow the “Be Lean, Be Clean and Be Green” guidelines in the London Plan Energy Hierarchy..
Managing condensation.The spaces between heated, humid, pool halls and cooled gyms, or external areas, are particularly challenging.Condensation can cause staining or mould growth on the building fabric, and saturate insulation layers, degrading their performance.
There are also health and safety risks from mould spores or people slipping on surface water.Working closely with Grahams, MSL and Saunders Boston, Bryden Wood used AnTherm software along with finite difference numerical modelling, building thermal modelling and probabilistic weather data, to assess condensation risk.
As a result, design changes could be made to reduce condensation.. As these two excellent new facilities open their doors, the communities that they serve can feel the benefits of a well-managed indoor climate, and the client can be confident that they have assets that manage energy efficiently.Engineering matters.
Engineering is an important part of Bryden Wood, and the wider UK Economy.It is central to the delivery of places in which people live, work and socialise, in addition to the connections between these places and communities.
Measured in the UK, the construction sector is the sixth largest in terms of employment and is responsible for over 12% of the UK’s 5.9m small and medium-sized enterprises.Although already one of the leading industries for numbers of apprenticeships, greater emphasis must be placed on diversification of the workforce and Modern Methods of Construction (MMC).
Doing so will help us to deliver the projects of the future and further increase social value in construction..The considerable increase in focus within the industry on the sustainable design, construction and use of buildings in recent decades suggests there is an appetite and ability to overlay additional value criteria onto the commissioning and appraisal of architectural schemes.
