We aren’t only talking about the creation of more ideas and possible solutions in significantly less time, or an increase in metrics leading to more informed decision making overall.
Equally, any local heating project where homes rely on a DC for their domestic heating would be compromised if the DC is shut down for weeks in winter.. Making use of this valuable waste energy requires these conundrums to be resolved.This may become critical as the sustainability spotlight increasingly shines on these energy consumers..
Some companies are exploring an industrial synergy with food production using low grade heat and heat pumps, but this is in early development..The feeling in the room was that, due to the regulations, Europe is pricing itself out of the general market – although due to data sovereignty a market will be retained.. Generally, green energy is more expensive, which also distorts the market.But programmes like the Bernwick bank 4-GigaWatt wind farm may ease the UK situation in the longer term..
Although self-generated power looks like a silver bullet, bought utilities are significantly cheaper than those self-generated.These pressing needs are making self-generation and nuclear a more likely option.. Fusion as well as fission is being discussed, but what is a realistic timescale?.
The group felt that DCs need to be part of regional, city, utility, industrial and energy strategies.
Joined up thinking may improve the situation and help to find a path forward..This data can then be used to optimise stock quantities and locations, as well as discover any potential bottlenecks and options for alleviating these, to support the most efficient build sequence.. Bryden Wood has successfully applied these techniques to Platform construction (P-DfMA) and continues to do so for large clients.
In using these Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) methodologies and tools we can slowly aid transformation and delivery value whilst addressing some of the most pressing sector and global issues which are faced today..
