Last year LETI published some of the first documents offering advice on designing for net-zero carbon: The Climate Emergency Design Guide, and The Embodied Carbon Primer.
Beyond the insightful panels and discussions, Advancing Prefab is also renowned for its vibrant social calendar.Every night, attendees are invited to a plethora of after-show gatherings, from official parties to impromptu meet-ups.
This emphasis on the social aspect ensures attendees not only gain knowledge but also foster meaningful connections within the industry.. 5.2023's unique feature: Live research session.In a move to make the event even more interactive, this year introduces a one-hour live research session.
Here, attendees will explore various contemporary topics like embodied carbon solutions or integrated factory modelling.But it's not just about passive learning; participants will actively engage in live research, directly inputting their thoughts and opinions via their phones..
In conclusion, the Advancing Prefab event in Phoenix, Arizona, scheduled for the 13th and 14th of March, promises to be a blend of innovation, learning, and networking.
Whether you're an industry newcomer or a seasoned professional, there's something for everyone.From Orac in Blake’s 7 and K9 in Doctor Who to HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey.In this case, Easispace put temperature sensors in the concrete, with mobile phone alerts indicating when the concrete became strong enough to strike the shuttering.
This process of fine tuning the concrete enables it to be kept as low-carbon as possible, optimising it for strength, while still keeping the building process as quick as possible.It’s a good example of the improvements made viable with prototyping, which aren’t achievable when a project is live on-site for the first time.
This transformational process of on-going refinement and progress isn’t possible in traditional construction, where every building is bespoke.It’s yet another benefit of a Platform construction approach, which helps us to achieve greater sustainability in design..
