The dream for design standardisation remains alive but is being challenged by rapidly changing technology and service demands.
Therefore, construction Platforms include an improvement to efficiency and sustainability across multiple buildings, for years to come..The future of net zero carbon emissions.
These days there’s a lot of discussion within the sustainable design space about targets for a future net zero state, and how that relates to both operational energy and embodied carbon.There are numerous benchmarks and targets in place for operational energy.These include UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) targets for offices, as well as London Energy Transformation Initiative (LETI) targets for various building typologies.
These metrics generally look at energy rather than carbon.This is partly because we know the electricity grid is going to be decarbonised.
Therefore, using electricity as our primary, or only, source of power on-site means we’ll be tracking alongside the decarbonisation of the grid.
That’s well known in the industry; there’s guidance in place and our focus on sustainability in design has meant that we’ve been working towards that for years now..In collaborative design processes, if you can achieve this kind of focus on the purpose of the work and the people who create the value; bringing together client, design disciplines, stakeholders, and experts; each with their ideas, concerns, knowledge, creativity, and humility, therein lies the opportunity for exquisite outcomes..
Professor John Dyson spent more than 25 years at GlaxoSmithKline, eventually ending his career as VP, Head of Capital Strategy and Design, where he focussed on developing a long-term strategic approach to asset management..While there, he engaged Bryden Wood and together they developed the Front End Factory, a collaborative endeavour to explore how to turn purpose and strategy into the right projects – which paved the way for Design to Value.
He is committed to the betterment of lives through individual and collective endeavours.. As well as his business and pharmaceutical experience, Dyson is Professor of Human Enterprise at the University of Birmingham, focussing on project management, business strategy and collaboration.. Additionally, he is a qualified counsellor with a private practice and looks to bring the understanding of human behaviour into business and projects..
