Central to Design to Value is the creation of blended, collaborative teams.
Designers should collaborate with suppliers early to ensure prefabricated components are fit for purpose and deliver intended benefits.. Unlocking Programme Benefits with Prefabrication.Programme acceleration is a key driver for battery plants, where producing the first batches is a critical milestone.
Prefabricated components help accelerate construction by allowing work to be completed off-site, ahead of schedule..However, challenges such as transport and installation of large components (e.g., multi-trade pipe racks) must be addressed early.For instance, lifting pipe racks onto the steel frame before the roof is installed can mitigate logistical challenges.. Fast Commissioning Drives Programme Success.
Equipment installation and commissioning often delay production.To counter this, construction activities should be planned around the commissioning sequence..
Recommendations for Fast Commissioning:.
• Prioritise construction of critical production areas.. • Install site-wide utility systems in parallel with critical process areas.. • Design control systems to enable phased commissioning of interconnected sections.. Planning for the Future.In Barnet Copthall, CHP alone reduced carbon emissions by 91.1 tonnes pa; and by 56.7 tonnes pa for Barnet Leisure Centre..
Intelligent air handling.Air handling systems were designed to use as little energy as possible, whilst ensuring a healthy, fresh indoor environment.
So demand control ventilation, activated by CO. 2. sensors, provides an optimal level of fresh air in fitness areas.And in the same way, an advanced, mixed mode system with Building Management System control, ventilates the sports halls.
