choose between a ‘seismic’ or ‘non-seismic’ version.
Coal plant viability for refurbishment can be assessed using automatic tools.Initial concepts can be produced using algorithmic design tools.
Detailed design outputs for manufacturing can be produced automatically.The review and approval process is simplified dramatically.Safety related and non-safety related systems are separated and simplified.
The amount of information to be reviewed is significantly reduced.Standardised solutions mean that detail is available early and can be pre-approved.
The variation of the design and interfaces are standardised and controlled: only the differences need to be reviewed.
Rich data representation can provide regulatory reviewers with relevant information in the appropriate format at each stage of the process.They have scenario modelling and are aware of where things could end up in the best case scenario.
However, they also look at what’s happened over the last year.This means we know what’s happening in the UK in terms of energy balance.
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.Importantly, the trajectory for that decarbonisation looks healthy.
