As society’s requirement for data processing grows, so the market for data centres will continue to grow – and at a frantic pace.
Its success is a collaborative triumph, and a reflection of our shared vision for a more efficient, sustainable built environment..Learn more about The Forge.Zig talks with Jaimie Johnston MBE, Head of Global Systems at Bryden Wood, about using data to create better healthcare facilities.
They discuss the roles of standardisation and componentisation in meeting future healthcare needs with new technology, as well as the evolution of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD).. Click the 'play button' above to listen in, or read our 5 Key Takeaways from Zig Rubel's episode below.... 1.Revolutionising hospital design with digital technology:.'s pioneering work in integrating digital technology with hospital design is a central theme of the podcast.
His approach, which combines 30 years of experience in hospital design and construction with innovative digital solutions, underscores the transformative impact of technology in this field.. 2.Data-driven approaches in hospital construction:.
The podcast highlights the significance of using data-driven processes in hospital construction.
Rubel’s insights into Forsight Digital's methodologies demonstrate how data can guide the planning and programming of healthcare facilities, leading to more efficient and effective hospital designs.. 3.Offset: any remaining carbon should be offset via Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) or recognised carbon offset schemes.
Offsets used should be publicly disclosed.. An example of specific design strategies that Bryden Wood have adopted follow the proposed operational carbon hierarchy is shown in Figure 5 and is demonstrated with examples below..Step-by-step hierarchy for net zero operational carbon.
In order to substantially reduce embodied carbon, our designs will adopt the following hierarchy:.Build Nothing: identify opportunities to reuse existing structures, refurbish and reuse demolition materials onsite.
