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..

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.
Sometimes it felt pretty lonely out there.It is essential roof exhausts have efflux arrangements that ensure discharged fumes get sufficiently away from the building to prevent recirculation into make-up systems or to anyone on the roof or in a nearby building.
In the UK, the British Standard has a blanket statement requiring fume stacks be either 3m high or 25% the building height – whichever is greater.For tall buildings this can lead to very high stacks that would impact the building’s appearance and will likely require Planning Permission.
For example, a 10-storey office building with an average floor to floor height of 4m would require a stack 10m tall (nearly 3 storeys.)There are a few ways to challenge this, including CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) modelling and the use of alternative discharge stacks (e.g.
