We can use that data when considering sustainability in our designs to give a very detailed, current understanding of what the electricity grid is, and what that means for buildings.. We can also use their predictions to understand how the grid is going to decarbonise over the next five to ten years.
Together, this often means good transport connections, high-spec and high-tech spaces, lots of internal and external glazing, environments that are comfortable (e.g.temperature, humidity, lighting, noise, ergonomics) and which provide a variety of break-out and social areas.
Hence, while some conversions may look particularly cheap or quick to deliver, a poorly located or unattractive lab in a rundown office building could struggle in the long run..At Bryden Wood, our architects and engineers work closely with life science businesses, tenants, and developers to quickly translate scientific, technological, and business requirements (both current and future) into compliant and productive lab designs.We aim to do this during the earliest stages of a project, long before a brief has been finalised and ideally prior to an office being purchased or leased, all with the goal of identifying and then mitigating potential challenges as quickly as possible – giving the project and our clients the best chance of success.. 1.

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:.Within our wider Design to Value approach and methodology, they provide a common language for all the people involved in a project, they enable collaboration and the rapid development and testing of multiple ideas.
We've seen the benefits they deliver..Using the same concept to enable advanced and automated design will only multiply those benefits.. To learn more about our Design to Value approach, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.
