So they commissioned a US company called Brooks to design a robot that could collect samples and deliver them to the scientist, in a way that’s a bit like a vending machine.
Doing this has been greatly helped by the 3D modelling that was carried out on the original project.. HVAC upgrades at the Portway.Also on the Granta Park is a building called Portway.
Initially built as a large office complex for one company, we have been working on dividing it up to house nine separate clients.This has complex implications for mechanical and electrical services.For obvious technical reasons, each client cannot be serviced separately, so each one has to be monitored separately for energy, airflow and water usage..
The existing plant was 20 years old, and at the end of its useful life.But you can’t simply replace an old plant with a new one – mechanical and electrical engineering machines are so much more advanced and efficient now so some take up less space, but others are larger due to the need to reduce energy (for example, air-handling units).
We have taken the opportunity to reconfigure the building to some extent.
But in the case of the air handling units, the building was more or less built around them so it was difficult and financially unviable to remove them.Bryden Wood’s analysis shows that the impact of the adoption of a Passivhaus system has a minimum impact in terms of embodied carbon..

http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesIdentifying the processes and scope for lab design.A laboratory is a space in which a number of processes are undertaken in a methodical order, similar to any production line or manufacturing facility.
Understanding these processes seems like an obvious element in laboratory design, but members within the client team often have differing opinions as to the scope.. A good client will always call on the expertise of the lab users - the scientists - to help define the brief.Meeting with those users to understand the processes being undertaken is fundamental to delivering a successful laboratory design project.
