Adding a MVHR and ductwork would increase carbon by 6.5 kgCO2/m2.
Enables local sourcing.Reduction in whole life carbon.
This has led to a 22% reduction in embodied carbon compared to the traditional construction approach.The project predicts a 9.5% reduction in capital cost and 13% reduction in programme..Carbon reduction against baseline.
The path to a sustainable future.. With the growing interest in net zero buildings and sustainable construction, Bryden Wood have developed and implemented their own hierarchy to reduce both operational and embodied carbon.These hierarchies define the roadmap to achieve good and best practice performance targets defined by bodies such as LETI, RIBA or GLA.
An essential part of the hierarchy, and one of the key focuses of Bryden Wood’s design approach is DfMA, which enables substantial embodied carbon reduction and creates synergies to further reduce operational carbon.
The implementation of DfMA combined with energy efficiency measures, specification of low carbon materials and carbon offset measures is the proposed pathway to the delivery of successful net zero carbon buildings.. To learn more about our Design to Value approach to design and construction, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.“That’s what’s actually changing this.
People are making that connection.And we're becoming more of a global economy as well, so they're seeing examples.”.
These days she’s starting to see “masses of the big players change their behaviour.”.She’s as excited for them as she is for architects.. Marks recalls that while talking to the Head of VD&C for a large company, she was impressed with the work and incredible technology going into a two-billion-dollar hospital project.
