The Construction Innovation Hub has a year left, during which time it will need to create impact and get the necessary information to prove value.

Reduction in whole life carbon.This has led to a 22% reduction in embodied carbon compared to the traditional construction approach.

The project predicts a 9.5% reduction in capital cost and 13% reduction in programme..Carbon reduction against baseline.The path to a sustainable future.. With the growing interest in net zero buildings and sustainable construction, Bryden Wood have developed and implemented their own hierarchy to reduce both operational and embodied carbon.

These hierarchies define the roadmap to achieve good and best practice performance targets defined by bodies such as LETI, RIBA or GLA.An essential part of the hierarchy, and one of the key focuses of Bryden Wood’s design approach is DfMA, which enables substantial embodied carbon reduction and creates synergies to further reduce operational carbon.

The implementation of DfMA combined with energy efficiency measures, specification of low carbon materials and carbon offset measures is the proposed pathway to the delivery of successful net zero carbon buildings..

http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesFor pretty much forever, on-site or in-situ construction has been the default way of building.“We find the same thing”, says Jaimie Johnston.

“It's serial custo.mers who are dissatisfied with either the quality they're getting or the value they're getting.”.

Johnston says that the biggest value driver of them all is climate change and carbon.He agrees that there’s a “dawning recognition” that we don’t have a choice.
