This has increased insurance costs for mass timber construction.
with provision for heat export suitable for connection to district heating or industrial processes where viable.. We are also working with data centre clients on alternative sources of clean energy; an area where we see significant potential for data centres to become autonomous, and to promote the use of cleaner standby power systems.. A positive future for data centre design.As society’s requirement for data processing grows, so the market for data centres will continue to grow – and at a frantic pace.
The potential impact of our integrated approach, therefore, driving efficiency and improving performance, will only be more important for our clients and their customers..It is not sustainable, or desirable, to continue building more and more traditional data centres.By ensuring that every element of these crucial facilities is viewed as an integral part of the whole, and by optimising all of them together, we will continue to work with our clients to ensure that the future of this market is a positive one.Jaimie Johnston MBE.

Kirsty's extensive background in climate scale solutions and nuclear energy advocacy brings a fresh perspective on decarbonising the world's toughest sectors.
Join us as they explore the role of advanced nuclear technologies, the potential for repurposing existing infrastructure for cleaner energy, and the innovative approaches needed to tackle climate change.. Click the 'play button' above to listen in, or read our 5 Key Takeaways from Kirsty Gogan's episode below.... 1.Sometimes the additional transport miles might offset the manufacturing emissions in counties with greener energy grids.. Substructure: Omitting basements should be the starting point of projects.. Raised floor: Reuse existing materials, both from demolition on site but also local existing buildings which are undergoing renovation or demolition.
The industry needs to develop a material database to assist with this, but the more demand the quicker it will happen.. MEP: The LETI benchmarks are underestimated for high end offices.To meet the LETI benchmarks this means every other element in the building needs to perform better to offset the impact of MEP.
MEP calculations are still in their infancy compared with the rest of the building, meaning more research and data collection is required to create robust calculations and benchmarks.MEP has a short lifespan compared with other elements and as such it is even more important to consider the whole life impact of services, alongside the operational carbon impact..
