The following case studies show some of our recent lessons learnt in the design of healthier buildings and the adoption of wellbeing standards..

facilitating a. successful.shift to industrialised construction.

isn't just about the technology and the software tools, but about creating the right processes, having the support system from government and building departments, and authorities having jurisdiction.. “By the way,” she says.“I started saying industrialised revolution because I truly meant it.This is a revolution.

There used to be days when I felt like I was carrying a heavy backpack full of rocks uphill.But now there's an army behind me, a battalion.

There's like, countries with armies behind us.

And I think you've probably felt the same way.This is driven by the regulations, pressure cascades, cooling loads, dispersion rates, local extraction, higher levels of filtration, and ideally some degree of futureproofing.

For Containment Level 3 (or BSL3) and above or cleanrooms, air-changes will increase further still, often becoming impractical for an office conversion.In addition, it may be necessary to separate lab HVAC systems from other parts of the building..

The top priority should be to optimise the HVAC design with a view to reducing the amount of plant and riser space required.Techniques such as transferring extract air from adjacent office spaces to partially make-up the new lab supply can sometimes be used, however their compliance must be carefully reviewed..
