These are evaluated with respect to the passing of time.
Again, the buildings hit the current GLA benchmark, albeit the façade performance is higher than the GLA expects.However, were this building to be designed now to achieve LETI/RIBA 2030 targets further learnings need to be taken forward..
The Forge vs Benchmarks – whole life carbon analysis.Lessons Learned.Superstructure: The platform system reduces embodied carbon.
Further development can be undertaken to explore reducing whole life carbon further.Ideas could include:.
Replacing Comflor with a less processed material which can act as formwork.
Adjusting the concrete mix to be flowing rather than self-levelling which would reduce the cement content.We started working on this precious metals refinery in 2016.
They refine five different types of precious metal.The precious metals are obtained in raw form from many sources, but most come from catalytic converters in car exhausts.
The metals, once purified, don’t look like much – a grey powder – but they are hugely expensive..They take a product like a catalytic converter, and the first process is to smelt it.
