These he describes as being ‘of a very good size...not too big… So they’re not cold and very clinical,’ he says, before highlighting that because the patients all have their own individual rooms, ‘there is much more space.’ Each in-patient room also contains a couch able to double up as a bed for guests if they want it overnight.
The future of net zero carbon emissions.These days there’s a lot of discussion within the sustainable design space about targets for a future net zero state, and how that relates to both operational energy and embodied carbon.
There are numerous benchmarks and targets in place for operational energy.These include UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) targets for offices, as well as London Energy Transformation Initiative (LETI) targets for various building typologies.These metrics generally look at energy rather than carbon.
This is partly because we know the electricity grid is going to be decarbonised.Therefore, using electricity as our primary, or only, source of power on-site means we’ll be tracking alongside the decarbonisation of the grid.
That’s well known in the industry; there’s guidance in place and our focus on sustainability in design has meant that we’ve been working towards that for years now..
Grid electricity carbon factor.Rapid expansion of bio-revolution into various sectors like agriculture, consumer goods, bio-services, bio-computing, bio-informatics, and bio-industry..
These advancements, combined with broader societal, political, and economic trends, are projected to double the size of the life science market within the next decade..The challenge: exponential demand, high complexity, & lagging supply.
Laboratories support all stages of the life science value-chain, from R&D to manufacturing and diagnostics, and exponential market growth means exponential demand for lab space..In addition to this rising demand, life science businesses and developers looking to deploy labs face additional challenges, including:.
