The Dyson blog: Fostering humility and focusing on people and purpose in collaborative design processes

The MMC toolkit includes a range of systems, components and material and process innovations including off-site and site-based solutions.

Helen Hough emphasises the integration of sustainability and building physics in architectural and engineering projects.The goal is to design buildings that reduce environmental impacts from the early design stages through construction and operation, enhancing both sustainability and building performance.. 2.

Adapting building design for COVID and beyond.The podcast discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced building design, particularly around ventilation and air quality.There is a focus on balancing increased ventilation, which is necessary for reducing virus transmission, with energy efficiency.

This involves considering both active and passive design strategies to optimise building health without compromising sustainability.. 3.Emphasis on embodied carbon.

A significant portion of the discussion centres on the importance of reducing embodied carbon—the carbon footprint associated with materials and construction processes.

As operational carbon (carbon used during the building's life) decreases due to better technology and design practices, embodied carbon becomes a larger proportion of a building's overall carbon footprint.. 4.There may also be external consultants working on the same projects.”.

What’s the academic part like?.“Bryden Wood are currently sponsoring my HND in Building Services Engineering at Southbank University.

Once I complete that in 2021, I will study part time for a full degree in building services engineering whilst continuing to work.My aim is to become BIM Lead within M&E.”.
