This reality would lead to a three to four degree trajectory of warming, and a very bad environmental outcome.. One potential decarbonisation solution Terra Praxis has been exploring is the possibility of very low-cost, large-scale hydrogen production.
The range of value drivers from financial, aesthetic, socio-environmental and processual demonstrate the breadth of belief and aspiration.Take the example of the Ministry of Justice prison programme (a case study in our.
with multiple aims of investment cost efficiency, running cost efficiency, while reducing the huge social cost of re-offending which comes with an £18Billion a year price tag to the UK economy.There was even a proposal to develop the building technology so that inmates could be involved in the programme, building their skills, and making them more employable once released.. And there are technologies being developed now that can produce net carbon negative concrete, this would have offered the Ministry of Justice programme the possibility of a carbon negative prison as well as delivering all the other benefits.. What we also forget is a fact that should motivate us and give us hope.Renewable energy is lower in cost than fossil fuels.
That’s lower in cost!To put that in context, if the quantity of electricity used by the UK about 320 Bn KWh per year was moved from gas to offshore wind the saving would be £126Billion per year.
If you wanted a 5-year pay back with such a saving, you could afford to invest over £600Billion.
There is a direct synergy between financial return and moving to renewable energy..The inherent agility of Platform construction means that final decisions on configuration can be made much later in the process than in traditional construction, allowing for change, if necessary, during design and build..
The use of the same components across sectors allows the possibility of repurposing buildings – so an office block can later be turned into residential with relatively little intervention.. Digital design makes it all possible.In all of this, digital is our strongest ally.
Our ability at Bryden Wood to model using unusually large and varied data sets gives us a uniquely multi-dimensional perspective on problems.It means we can iterate, learn and iterate again.
