By utilising advanced simulations and analytics, teams at Bryden Wood can optimise designs to achieve higher sustainability standards, ultimately contributing to the broader goal of reducing the industry’s carbon footprint..

The image below is an example..The depth and breadth of value achieved is greater, the bigger and more complex the Chip.

The more co-dependent elements involved, the more variables and complexity the Chip has to resolve and the wider the implications of the ways in which Chips will optimise the design.So while an inpatient room is optimised for patient comfort and the facilitation of day to day care activities, an operating theatre has more complex variables to incorporate: medical procedures, heightened levels of infection control plus the associated surgical staff, flows of clean and dirty consumables, carefully controlled flows of air, extensive use of medical equipment and data etc..The optimal design, which we call the Reference Design, can then be largely created by combining these Chips in the most efficient way.

This Reference Design can then be built again and again as a fixed product, by clients who have control over site conditions, as per the MoJ Houseblocks..But for those who need flexibility, the Reference Design becomes far easier to configure flexibly into a physical asset when broken down into its ‘Chips’ (with more or less flexibility in how these are arranged depending on the asset type.)

By digitally modelling the design against the given brief/constraints using Chips, we can quickly see how well the design will work, and what we can adapt to fit the wide range of needs and constraints involved.

This ability to adapt the configuration of a design would be impossible in a design expressed as 100% single components..However, implementing.

modular and prefabricated building components along with a.Design for Manufacture and Assembly processes doesn’t mean we’ll end up with low-quality buildings that all look the same.

In actuality, adopting this new way of working holds the key to tremendously positive and wide-reaching benefits for both people and the planet.. By adopting industrialised construction, we’ll produce.an increased quantity of high-quality, more sustainable buildings, which improve construction project safety and are also easier to build..
