There is an opportunity to work and think differently; no longer do you have to assume that working for and with the environment will push a project over budget or make it untenable..
This has led to a 22% reduction in embodied carbon compared to the traditional construction approach.The project predicts a 9.5% reduction in capital cost and 13% reduction in programme..
Carbon reduction against baseline.The path to a sustainable future.. With the growing interest in net zero buildings and sustainable construction, Bryden Wood have developed and implemented their own hierarchy to reduce both operational and embodied carbon.These hierarchies define the roadmap to achieve good and best practice performance targets defined by bodies such as LETI, RIBA or GLA.
An essential part of the hierarchy, and one of the key focuses of Bryden Wood’s design approach is DfMA, which enables substantial embodied carbon reduction and creates synergies to further reduce operational carbon.The implementation of DfMA combined with energy efficiency measures, specification of low carbon materials and carbon offset measures is the proposed pathway to the delivery of successful net zero carbon buildings..

http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesBased on a conversation with Phil Langley and Maria Mamoura, Directors of Bryden Wood's Creative Technologies team.. Where is the value in ‘construction technology’, ‘generative design’ or ‘automation in construction’?
With design automation and construction tech set to transform the industry, where does the Creative Technologies team at Bryden Wood fit in?‘Moving in here has made me realise that there are some really bad office spaces out there,’ says Shaun, ‘but this place makes you realise that an environment can make you work harder and make you happier.
You spend so much time at work, it’s really important.I feel really happy coming here.
It’s a place that is conducive to creating great architecture.’.Khalifa agrees, ‘having a space has made a huge difference.
