Extra heating or cooling not only adds to our energy bills, but it also puts more pressure on hitting our carbon reduction targets..
This isn't just theory; it's the future of building, made real.Discover how Platform II is revolutionising the construction of hospitals, offices, and schools.. With a focus on sustainability, efficiency, and innovation, Platform II is redefining the way buildings are created, aligning with government recommendations and taking giant leaps in productivity and carbon reduction.. From the origins of platform construction to the development of The Forge, the world's first building crafted using P-DfMA, our video takes you on a fascinating journey through industrialised construction techniques.
Platform II proves that endless possibilities can arise from a single kit of parts.. A study, led by Dr Danny Murguia, Research Associate at the Laing O'Rourke Centre for Construction and Technology of the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, shows fantastic potential: doubling programme productivity, slashing embodied carbon by 20%, and reducing construction time by 40%.. Watch our video to see how Platform II is not just a concept, but a reality, paving the way for a more efficient, sustainable, and adaptable future in construction..If you'd also like to continue to learn about our Design to Value approach, DfMA and Industrialised Construction, sign up for our newsletter here:.http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesWebinar Highlights:.
- Delve into the intricacies of the 'Platform II' initiative, leveraging the principles of industrial scalability and mass production to advance construction efficiency.. - Decode the influential role of government procurement strategies in catalysing the adoption of platform-based construction models.. - Explore the flexible and forward-thinking design of the Platform II structural system, thoughtfully engineered to accommodate a variety of architectural forms and functional spaces.. - Understand the considerable benefits that come with the adoption of platform methods, including amplified productivity, reduced build times, and a stronger commitment to sustainable construction practices.Working on building sites in my teens I first realised how reductive the project working environment could be.Of course, I would not have used the word reductive maybe “this just doesn’t make any sense”.
For I could sense, even at a young age, that the people doing the work felt no connection to any purpose or larger endeavour..
I could have put this down to the construction industry, a much-maligned industry, however as I began my career through the food and pharmaceutical industries I began to realise that much of business and society is hampered by the same reductive thinking which comes with an amnesia of purpose and a huge loss of value.He has developed his expertise in a wide range of areas of sustainability, including life-cycle carbon analysis, daylight, thermal modelling and energy efficiency..
