Achieving net zero by 2050.

/m², good practice would be below 970kgCO.and best practice below 550kgCO.

This lower threshold is only achievable by refurbished buildings and timber structures that account for carbon sequestration and design with ambitious low carbon specifications.. Bryden Wood aspires to design new buildings that achieve at least the good practice thresholds shown in Figure 4 and where feasible deliver best practice performance.In order to be able to meet these aspirations, it is necessary to develop a clear strategy for both embodied and operational carbon..From LETI: graphic showing the range of performance based on benchmarked projects..

Comparison embodied carbon targets from RIBA, LETI and GLA.Achieving net zero operational and embodied carbon with lean design and modern methods of construction.

Bryden Wood’s strategy to achieve net zero carbon building is based on the adoption of a clear hierarchy for operational and embodied carbon..

In order to substantially reduce operational carbon, our designs will adopt the following hierarchy:.Transitioning to an automated construction supply chain: future business model innovation for SMEs.

: This compelling project, led by The University of Reading, explored the opportunities and constraints for SMEs in the adoption of robotics and automation.The work explored limitations posed by current business models and the changes that would be necessary to move towards automation of the supply chain, and the wider adoption of technology.. Design Optimisation and Prototyping for Affordable Rural Housing.

: Robert Gordon University in Scotland was selected for this project, focused.on transforming the delivery of rural housing via design optimisation and prototyping, in order to facilitate faster, scalable and digitally integrated production.
