Construction isn’t seen as an attractive option by the next generation, who would prefer to work in tech.
XR environments for design and process interaction.A library of manufacturing blocks as defined elements of process (which we call CHIPs).
Real time data exchange between simulated systems across multiple devices.Data visualisations and analytics for manufacturing optimisation.Our vision is to use F.R.A.C to develop our Platform Approach to designing homes, offices, hospitals, schools and other buildings in a new and innovative way, with a kit of parts approach delivered using robotic technology.. We have already prototyped the robotic manufacture of components from our Platform system and our aim is not only to realise construction projects through robotic technology, but also to share our learnings with the industry and to make the building blocks of F.R.A.C available under open source license during 2020.. Read more about P-DFMA.How can we balance COVID-19, climate change and our energy bills?.
As businesses get ready to reopen their office buildings while keeping to social distancing measures, what might the impact be on energy efficiency in those buildings – and the climate emergency?.Before COVID-19, the climate emergency was very prominent in the media, and the UK was the first major country to commit to achieving zero carbon targets by 2050.
With the current pandemic, however, the focus on buildings is moving away from energy efficient buildings, and towards healthy buildings.
But can we have both?.Harmonised cross sector requirements unlock the standardisation required to consolidate technical requirements.
P-DfMA is a rationalised approach to design and construction.It simplifies complexity and creates systems in the place of custom requirements at every level, presenting a much more straightforward foundation on which to adopt new safety requirements..
