I also value being part of a team.
It enables speed of installation through on-site assembly of prefabricated and pre-assembled parts in a safe and controlled manner.And given the nature of data centres, they lend themselves particularly well to this approach, where standardisation of the end-user product is paramount.. DfMA brings precisely the reliability, predictability and speed to market that our data centre clients want and benefit from..
Creating sustainable data centres.The biggest environmental impact of data centres is in their use of power and water for cooling, but they are also heavy in terms of embedded carbon.Carbon is embedded in the structure of buildings as everyone knows, but in data centres significantly more so in the M&E equipment within them.
As we optimise the geometry and layout of the structure, plant and systems we can have a positive effect on the amount of embodied carbon in the building, structure and systems.. Our more sustainable approach to close coupling and integration increases efficiency in cooling and distribution losses and also lessens the carbon intensive materials used in these systems.. Our industrialisation and digital design approach allows us to quantify this carbon content during design, and minimise the content through optimisation and materials selection.It means our clients can make arrangements for carbon offsetting prior to the data centre facility being handed over.. We continue to investigate and take opportunities to make use of the heat that is generated by the cooling of data centres.
with provision for heat export suitable for connection to district heating or industrial processes where viable.. We are also working with data centre clients on alternative sources of clean energy; an area where we see significant potential for data centres to become autonomous, and to promote the use of cleaner standby power systems.. A positive future for data centre design.
As society’s requirement for data processing grows, so the market for data centres will continue to grow – and at a frantic pace.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.. To learn more about our Design to Value philosophy, read Design to Value: The architecture of holistic design and creative technology by Professor John Dyson, Mark Bryden, Jaimie Johnston MBE and Martin Wood.Available to purchase at.'Transforming Small Molecule API Manufacturing' explores the innovative strides being made towards more efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective drug production.. Adrian La Porta.
shares his insights on the pivotal role of miniaturisation and automation in shaping the future of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) production, highlighting the potential for significant industry transformation.. Watch now for a unique perspective on how modern advancements are paving the way for a new era in pharmaceuticals, not only redefining manufacturing processes but also promising a healthier future for all.Presented by our Head of Sustainability, Helen Hough, this video takes you on a journey through the development of The Forge, a landmark London project that represents a significant leap in sustainable construction..Discover the pioneering use of a platforms approach to Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA) and how it contributed to a remarkable reduction in whole-life carbon emissions..
