Sustainable buildings: how low carbon design saves more, and costs less

Unique structure of Lendlease.

This is an important part of sustainable design.These processes then become highly repeatable, enabling greater levels of automation in construction.

Sustainable buildings: how low carbon design saves more, and costs less

We can turn to techniques such as robotic welding to make the parts, for example, and use popular distribution warehousing equipment on site.Such processes require fewer people and increase worker safety.In a socially distanced, post Covid-19 world, the advantages are even greater.. Standardisation in construction: making the most of what works best.

Sustainable buildings: how low carbon design saves more, and costs less

It’s worth stressing again that standardisation in construction is not a negative, and it’s not unique to platform design either.We’ve found that most clients want a certain level of standardisation.

The Department for Education knows exactly what the best performing teaching space looks like.

Most residential developers have a pattern book of apartments, which are best suited for their needs.For example, a warehouse can be made smaller by changing the delivery frequency or providing more in-process staging.

Throughput can be increased by changing the shift pattern or by reallocating products onto under-utilised equipment.New-build facility costs can be avoided by upgrading existing plants instead.

There are many possible options for any business challenge and with digital simulations we can rapidly consider them and focus our attention on the best-performing ones.. DATA ANALYSIS DELIVERS A BETTER BUILT ENVIRONMENT.This approach is applicable not just to complex factories but to projects ranging from schools to offices, prisons, airports and others.
