Every sequence generates six terabytes of data, and Illumina’s HQ houses about 80 sequencers, running around the clock, generating significant amounts of heat.
These insights provide a deeper understanding of how we are integrating sustainability into our projects and the importance of DfMA and interdisciplinary collaboration in driving these initiatives..Learn more about how we cut carbon on The Forge in our video, '.
Exploring The Forge: A Video Insight into Cutting-Edge Carbon Reduction.Bryden Wood’s unique, 10-step design approach to Passivhaus, and our adoption of Platform Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA), facilitates the achievement of stringent Passivhaus performance targets, creating the perfect response to reduce construction cost and programme, whilst also responding to the labour skills shortage.At the same time, our innovative approach facilitates a well-integrated design that addresses the complexities of Passivhaus via high-quality fabrication.. What is Passivhaus?.Passivhaus is a well-established, international building performance standard that delivers resilient, ultra-low energy consumption buildings, whilst maintaining the highest levels of occupant thermal comfort and air quality experience..
This is delivered through a keen focus on a fabric first approach that seeks to reduce space heating demand which can be met either through useful solar gains, internal gains or via modern, high efficiency and low carbon heating systems..The facade performance in a Passivhaus building goes well beyond current UK Building Regulations, though a combination of highly insulated walls, high-performing windows and by ensuring “thermal bridging” around windows, doors and junctions is reduced to as close to zero as possible.
This contrasts with traditional building construction, where these elements account for upwards of 10% of the building’s heat loss..
The design must achieve the following targets to gain Passivhaus certification:.The ‘local’ design is then focused on ground conditions, utilities, infrastructure, placemaking, flows of people etc..

methodology here.. We introduced this concept to the New Hospitals Programme, developing the initial ‘Hospital 2.0’ solution.While this has since evolved, the use of a Reference Design continues to be a central part of their strategy to deliver schemes across the UK..
