Virtual reality can be used to create replicas of buildings and spaces so the client and building users can experience a building before construction.

Any party that sets specifications helps to create a myriad of different standards.Consistent requirements across jurisdictions and customers could accelerate progress..

If the change to biogenic solvents can be made easier from a regulatory perspective, the next question is about the economics and supply Vs demand.If reducing usage and waste along with increased recycling can lead the way, then the unit cost of the solvent becomes less and less relevant..Even now, the cost of solvent supply represents only 1% of Cost of Goods, although this amounts to $4bn globally.

These numbers do not include the money spent by the industry to treat solvent waste, manage the safety risks, or pay any application of carbon tax..It was noted that there are streams of scientific development in AI models which can help predict the production of harmful impurities and detect these impurities cheaply at parts per billion and parts per trillion levels.

Even now, the cost of solvent supply represents only 1% of Cost of Goods, although this amounts to $4bn globally.

These numbers do not include the money spent by the industry to treat solvent waste, manage the safety risks, or pay any application of carbon tax.Consistency and precision of design, fabrication and installation means the exposed M&E services are symmetrical, aligned and in repeated patterns.

The services are, for once, making a positive contribution to the aesthetic of the building..The story of M&E and P-DfMA at the Forge is one of coordination not compromise between the different elements of the design, construction and operation of this ground-breaking building.

As mentioned, by including M&E engineers within the integrated project team from the very earliest stages, and throughout, we achieve significant benefits..While the Forge is the first of its kind and setting new standards, the underlying DfMA principles underpin all our M&E design work at Bryden Wood.. DfMA adds exceptional value for our M&E clients.Martin Wood and Mark Bryden discuss the origins, growth and future of Bryden Wood, as the company reaches 25 years.Click the 'play button' above to listen to the episode, or read our 5 Key Takeaways from this episode below.... 1.
