However, in order to reduce the risk of viral spread within the building we have to increase ventilation rates as far as practically possible, so that the occupants have more fresh air.. A higher ventilation rate, whether it is via natural or mechanical ventilation, will result in an increased demand on heating in cooler weather, and increased demand on cooling in warmer weather.
Research led by.Dr. Danny Murguia.
from the University of Cambridge showed that Platform II and P-DfMA (Platform Design for Manufacture and Assembly) could potentially double programme productivity, reduce embodied carbon by 20%, and achieve a 40% reduction in programme time.These significant improvements demonstrate the potential of the platform approach to revolutionise construction processes, making them faster, more efficient, and environmentally friendly.. 5.Facilitating a Circular Economy and Repurposing Infrastructure:.
Platform II supports the concept of a circular economy in construction.By understanding the provenance of every component, it becomes viable to repurpose them in different assets.
For example, an office building could be transformed into a healthcare centre or an apartment block as needs change..
The Construction Innovation Hub's.On arriving in London, she looked at a lot of other potential office suitors and found they were mostly ‘a bit shabby.’ However, as soon as she saw the GWS space she was blown away by the quality of the build and its finish.. She particularly liked how all of the studios were completely customisable, so she was able to bring her own vision into how her space would look, but ‘as soon as you step outside, you get to be part of someone else’s bigger vision,’ she says, gesturing up to the large atrium and studios above.
