The Dyson Blog: Values we hold to + Value we can create

However, even using a completely traditional build, reference design has numerous benefits:.

Regardless of BIM or digital twins, we won’t win if things continue as they are.We have fundamental problems which need to be addressed.

These include the lack of productisation in construction, as well as the lack of knowledge about DfMA principles and practices.. We have drawings moving back and forth across industry silos from architects and engineers to fabricators and beyond in a way that means “we build things, prefabricated or not, that aren't what was originally upfront in the process,” Marks says.. She believes this is where we will see the most change and brings up Gleicher’s Formula for Change (revised by Dannemiller), where dissatisfaction, vision, and steps toward the vision must be greater than resistance.. “I actually think we’ve hit dissatisfaction at this point,” she says, pointing out the various issues across the industry: construction companies unhappy with the money they’re making, designers unhappy with the roles they’re playing, owners dissatisfied with the inconsistency.. And the question that needs answering now is: “what does the future look like?”.Marks says that her job at Autodesk is to help people envision what that future could be by taking the current building blocks and foundational pieces and expanding on them.She knows there will be resistance and thinks we’ve got to start thinking about things to be able to combat issues like old thinking, processes, contracts, scopes, and procurement methodologies.. “We've got to be able to highlight the dissatisfaction, show people there's a potential vision up.

Nobody changes unless there's something better on the other side,” she says.“But we should be able to show them there's something better.”.

The owners want all of this, but the general contractors tell them it isn’t possible.

They can’t tell them the concrete steps of action after the vision.The optimisation of the chilled water system design ensures even distribution throughout the data hall.

This optimisation process is crucial, as it prevents the tendency to oversize equipment or specify unnecessary components to meet resilience requirements, providing assurance that the building will meet requirements and allowing for greater potential for economic and carbon cost savings..As the demand for data centre capacity continues to grow and challenges in electrical supply capacity become more pronounced alongside regulatory pressures, there is an increasing need for data centre designs to be optimised..

The integration of CFD into the early design process empowers stakeholders to push boundaries, optimise performance, and embrace sustainable practices, all whilst ensuring the functionality and resilience that is so crucial to the performance of these buildings..Learn more about our approach to.
