The Forge: new frontiers in whole life carbon reduction
The path to a sustainable future.. With the growing interest in net zero buildings and sustainable construction, Bryden Wood have developed and implemented their own hierarchy to reduce both operational and embodied carbon.
Maximising the value of an asset is finding the right balance of a wide range of criteria.. Design to Value is well understood and applied in the manufacturing industries.It leads to objective analysis of every aspect of a process, every element of resource requirement, energy consumption, knowledge, and cost.
It leads to testing of the value parameters each of these elements is being measured against.It is rigorous, logical and data-driven.Its application in construction is transformational.. Design to Value may lead to a solution that is very different to the one initially conceived, but it will be a solution that is fully thought through, appropriate and complete.
A built asset that delivers value across the piece.. Iterate in digital.Our approach is to dismantle a process rigorously until we reduce it to its smallest components.
Then we call on a breadth and depth of expertise to optimise every component, so that when we combine them in the complete solution, the whole will operate to the maximum efficiency of all of its parts.. From the earliest stages, we work with 3-D visualisations of processes and physical assets.
This allows us to iterate and test many variables.We deliver cost-optimised designs grounded in solid engineering.
Our award-winning, multi-disciplinary team works together to ensure overall building optimisation including efficient.MEP distribution.
with reduced structural tonnage.We provide our data centre clients with tailored, automated tools and insights into design delivery using leading-edge creative technologies..
