Offsets used should be publicly disclosed.. An example of specific design strategies that Bryden Wood have adopted follow the proposed operational carbon hierarchy is shown in Figure 5 and is demonstrated with examples below..Step-by-step hierarchy for net zero operational carbon.
In order to substantially reduce embodied carbon, our designs will adopt the following hierarchy:.Build Nothing: identify opportunities to reuse existing structures, refurbish and reuse demolition materials onsite.Build Less: optimise the building’s form, structure, structural grid, WWR and DfMA components; recommend the use of durable materials, design-out basements and false ceilings (exposed soffit); design spaces which are adaptable and can be easily deconstructed..
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..The issue of productisation forms a key concept within the industry’s broader shift toward industrialised (or manufactured) construction.
However, implementing.modular and prefabricated building components along with a.
Design for Manufacture and Assembly processes doesn’t mean we’ll end up with low-quality buildings that all look the same.In actuality, adopting this new way of working holds the key to tremendously positive and wide-reaching benefits for both people and the planet.. By adopting industrialised construction, we’ll produce.
