Jointly they can then decide what to do next.
When reviewing the building against benchmarks for WLC, including the LETI extrapolated targets, the buildings perform well against 2020 targets.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.As a result, we've done a feasibility study for abandoning the existing system and putting in several smaller plants.
This would have multiple benefits, not least in saving on expensive pipe work to carry water long distances, because it's such a large site.But also, the bigger the pipe loop, the more problems you have with water quality.
We should be installing this new system soon..Converting offices to labs.
