To maximise the benefits of DfMA, plants must first be designed rationally and efficiently.
This would mean no comfort cooling in spaces such as offices in peak summer.And although this will give great energy savings, the wellbeing of occupants will suffer as rooms overheat.. How can we keep offices at a comfortable temperature?.
Keeping heat gains down in summer will help reduce the cooling load of the building, and give the cooling systems a fighting chance of keeping us at a comfortable temperature.Social distancing measures will help reduce internal heat gain, as there will be fewer people using fewer computers in each office.Blinds on the windows can help to reduce heat gain from the sun.
And making sure that the lighting controls are working properly can reduce the lighting load (which also creates heat) during bright days..Desk fans help to reduce the perceived temperature by around 2. o.
C, but the additional air movement increases the risk of particle movement.
So desk fans are not recommended, except in rooms with good airflow and high air changes.This makes it possible to start permitting, procurement, and construction activities in a matter of weeks, rather than months, and opens the door to warp-speed lab deployment.. Fast Lab combines our experience in multidisciplinary lab design, capacity modelling, asset optimisation, automated design tools, and the creation of fast, scalable solutions to the world’s biggest construction challenges.
It is aimed at life science businesses and developers including:.Larger businesses looking to design and construct their own labs..
Smaller businesses trying to identify the best premises to buy or lease..Developers who want to construct labs that are a good fit for their target market..
