Design to Value: the importance of data and analytics in building design and construction

sustainability: a forecast 19.4% reduction in embodied carbon per square metre, a 36.4% carbon reduction in the substructure and 20.2% in the superstructure and façade..

It facilitates efficient operation and maintenance.Critically, Reference Design gives teams the ability to assess a site very quickly using a ‘test fit’ process:.

The client brief drives the selection of the appropriate Chips required to build the asset.These can then be arranged on the site according to the engineers’ predefined rules e.g.proximity of the Chips to one another; which ones can/can’t be stacked, which ones have to be next to each other vs separated etc..

This allows an initial solution (or multiple solutions) to be developed, with pre-defined rules assuring compliance.These design solutions can be assessed and compared for optimisation of flows, simplicity of enabling works (cut and fill, extent of utilities works) etc..

This is not a complete design solution but can quickly generate a working feasibility model so clients can make highly informed decisions in days or weeks and at a fraction of the cost of a non ‘reference design’ approach.

Clients can even take a virtual tour to aid their insight, feedback and input.It represents a robust model for achieving extreme energy efficiency and comfort via airtight building envelopes, high-performance windows, and ventilation with heat recovery.. 4.

Importance of early integration of sustainability.Pablo stressed the necessity of embedding sustainability discussions early in the design process to ensure these principles are deeply rooted in the project.

By doing so, teams can leverage collaborative workshops and iterative processes to refine sustainability goals continually.. 5.Data-driven and science-based approaches.
