This allows us to engage more specialist stakeholders, and make sure their requirements for each of the rooms are met.. We describe this approach as designing the hospital from the inside out.
There are numerous benchmarks and targets in place for operational energy.These include UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) targets for offices, as well as London Energy Transformation Initiative (LETI) targets for various building typologies.
These metrics generally look at energy rather than carbon.This is partly because we know the electricity grid is going to be decarbonised.Therefore, using electricity as our primary, or only, source of power on-site means we’ll be tracking alongside the decarbonisation of the grid.
That’s well known in the industry; there’s guidance in place and our focus on sustainability in design has meant that we’ve been working towards that for years now..Grid electricity carbon factor.
The electricity grid had a much higher carbon factor a few years ago than it does now.
This is due to coal plants, etc.Translating scientific and technological requirements into a lab design and key project and business metrics.. Exploiting the standardisation opportunities across all life science lab projects..
Enabling a rapid and iterative design process.. Providing inputs and feedback to/from all stakeholders (e.g.lab managers, project managers, Quality, EHS, tenants), improving buy-in and reducing future change.. Embedding data and learnings from every project to continuously improve the service over time.. Fast Lab works by:.
Using a standardised capacity model to rapidly translate scientific, technological, and commercial requirements (e.g.test types, technology options, demand scenarios) into an equipment list..
