Sharp says we need to get better about taking the quick wins.
It leads to testing of the value parameters each of these elements is being measured against.It is rigorous, logical and data-driven.
Its application in construction is transformational..Bringing learning to every healthcare design project.In addition to bringing fresh eyes and ideas to every project, we also build on the learning that we gather from other projects.
Our early work with Circle Reading Hospital provided us with excellent foundations: for that project we conducted extensive research into the use dynamics of a hospital, optimising the layout to deliver a hospital with a design that allowed a significantly improved experience for both staff and patients.. Our intention was to develop a set of standard processes and techniques that we would apply to all of our healthcare design projects, while allowing for the specific brief for each facility.Over the years, we have continually refined and improved these common elements to improve the efficiency of production of design information and the quality of the end product,.
while also delivering certainty of cost and programme.. We brought all of this learning to Birmingham.
As at Reading, our primary focus was on the quality of the user experience for patients and staff, as well as the efficiency and usability of the building..In order to be able to meet these aspirations, it is necessary to develop a clear strategy for both embodied and operational carbon..
From LETI: graphic showing the range of performance based on benchmarked projects..Comparison embodied carbon targets from RIBA, LETI and GLA.
Achieving net zero operational and embodied carbon with lean design and modern methods of construction.Bryden Wood’s strategy to achieve net zero carbon building is based on the adoption of a clear hierarchy for operational and embodied carbon..
