People doing serious business.
We believe the design and construction industry needs to change and find new, sustainable, high quality and cost effective solutions for our towns and cities.Our architects and engineers are driven to create a highly productive, digitally-led industry, which improves the sustainability, efficiency and aesthetic quality of all aspects of the built environment.
The ensuing benefit lowers the financial and carbon cost of assets to business and society.It is for this reason, we’re delighted to join a coalition of leading industry professionals who have contributed to a new guide and primer illustrating how the industry can work together and address the climate emergency..The Climate Emergency Design Guide.
Embodied Carbon Primer.are being published by LETI - the London Energy Transformation Initiative.
LETI is a voluntary network of over 1000 built environment professionals who are working together to put London on the path to a zero carbon future.
The publications will be free to access and are being backed by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Chartered Institution of Building Service Engineers (CIBSE), as well leading businesses.There are many different methods of constructing a building.
In addition to conventional methods, alternatives have been developed that deploy prefabrication, pre-assembly, design standardisation and/or automation to some degree and these are collectively referred to as Modern Methods of Construction (MMC)..Exploring the MMC toolkit: from offsite construction to PPVC and beyond.
MMC is the collective term for the innovative construction methods that can be deployed by the DfMA designer.MMC can be considered as the DfMA designer’s “toolkit”.
