Home Office Setup: Must-Have Gadgets for Productivity

Suppliers should invest in automated, digital payment and contracting systems and processes.

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.

The potential impact of our integrated approach, therefore, driving efficiency and improving performance, will only be more important for our clients and their customers..

It is not sustainable, or desirable, to continue building more and more traditional data centres.Finally, Adrian discusses the systemic and regulatory barriers to adopting these new manufacturing technologies but also highlights the compelling need for change driven by the demand for affordable, sustainable medicines.

He advocates for embracing these new technologies to overcome current limitations and transform pharmaceutical manufacturing..The podcast emphasises the urgent need for innovation in pharmaceutical manufacturing to address current challenges and future demands.Last year saw the completion of The Forge in London – the world’s first major commercial building constructed using a platforms approach to DfMA (P-DfMA).

This landmark project is not just a testament to architectural ingenuity but a leap toward a sustainable future, showcasing our commitment to transforming construction and significantly reducing carbon emissions..The Forge - a development of two nine-storey commercial office buildings – is a collaboration between.
