She points out that, in actuality, nuclear has consistently been identified as necessary in our climate mitigation roadmaps, by everyone from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, to the International Energy Agency and the European Commission.. A leading environmentalist, Gogan says that she too started out as anti-nuclear, but her perception of nuclear technology changed after reading Professor David MacKay’s book, Sustainable Energy Without the Hot Air.

Rapid iteration of lab design.Fast Lab connects a range of inputs, models, and outputs to enable rapid iteration and collaboration between stakeholders.

Reduce lab design time.Fast Lab aims to reduce the initial lab design time from months down to weeks.While all stages of a lab construction project can undoubtedly be accelerated, in our experience the biggest gains are to be found during the earliest stages of a project.. Fast Lab is a service by Bryden Wood that aims to accelerate the lab specification, design, and internal approval process, so that permitting, procurement, and construction can start as quickly as possible, and with a design that is less likely to change and cause future delay.

Fast Lab achieves this by:.Translating scientific and technological requirements into a lab design and key project and business metrics.. Exploiting the standardisation opportunities across all life science lab projects..

Enabling a rapid and iterative design process.. Providing inputs and feedback to/from all stakeholders (e.g.

lab managers, project managers, Quality, EHS, tenants), improving buy-in and reducing future change.. Embedding data and learnings from every project to continuously improve the service over time.. Fast Lab works by:.The key findings:.

The substructure used 50% cement replacement, used recycled aggregates from the demolition on site and procured the concrete locally.In addition, the basement volume was reduced which minimised the excavation and material usage resulting in a combined 46% improvement compared with the Business as Usual scheme..

The P-DfMA approach significantly reduced embodied carbon of the superstructure.This is due to the reduction in steel weight.
