19 Easy Cleaning Tricks

All of them are looking at how to digitise planning policy, and make it more machine readable.

It's important that when we define chips, we don't leave gaps.We aim to capture everything: the building, the equipment, operations, software, hazards, quality requirements, whatever is important in that system.

At the point of inquiry, we are trying to get that information loaded into that Chip..When we are creating plans, we like to work in three dimensions from the very early part of the project.Chips help speed up the process, because we can move chunks of the design around very quickly and keep data associated with them.

We can do things like automate routing of certain utilities, based on the properties of the Chips.And that enables us to try lots of different options in a short amount of time.

As mentioned, this is a key element of our Design to Value approach, as it enables us to get closer to an optimum solution..

Unfortunately, we sometimes find ourselves in the conventional engineering situation of having to limit the number of options that we look at because we haven't got the time or the resources to look at too many.Build Clever: specify low carbon materials with a focus on the recycled content of steel and concrete and the use of timber; maximise the recycled content of finishes, use reclaimed floors and explore system’s rental; where possible use low GWP refrigerants and avoid VRF systems..

Build Efficiently: implement innovative construction strategies such as Modern methods of Construction (MMC) and use a DfMA approach to reduce waste onsite..Offset: Any remaining carbon should be offset via recognised carbon offset schemes.

Offsets used should be publicly disclosed.. An example of design strategies that follow the proposed embodied carbon hierarchy is shown in Figure 5..Step-by-step hierarchy for net zero embodied carbon.
