Our team is hard at work bringing Another Kind Architects imaginative designs to reality by developing a 15-metre long-spanning roof with a striking 4-metre overhang on the first floor. What’s more, we’ve strategically designed offset steel columns to protect the existing foundations of three adjacent buildings. 🏗️ The ground floor will be the heart of hydrogen research, featuring state-of-the-art labs, while the first floor will be a vibrant space for showrooms and offices, fostering innovation and collaboration. This is just one of several groundbreaking higher education projects we’re involved with, and we can’t wait to share more with you soon! 🙌
As we are committed to advancing sustainability in the construction industry, one of our key efforts is in the measurement and reduction of embodied carbon in projects. 📊 Leveraging the well-established Structural Carbon Tool, developed by the IStructE, we've taken a step further by integrating it with REVIT. Our goal is to automate and improve the accuracy of the volume data required for carbon calculations. Using REVIT’s BIM Interoperability Tools, combined with our own carbon classification numbering system, we’ve embedded relevant carbon information directly into building element families. Custom filters developed by Dice generate clear 3D visuals of projects, colour-coded to align with carbon classifications. 📈 These visuals are cross-referenced with structured schedules that seamlessly feed into the Structural Carbon Tool. This automated approach delivers precise volume data, which is then used to calculate a project's Carbon Impact score, making the process both efficient and user-friendly. By evolving this method with our tools, we hope to enhance the precision of carbon assessments, help projects move closer towards their sustainability goals while simplifying the process for our clients. 📉 #embodiedcarbon #carbon #sustainability #construction #REVIT #BIM #sustainable #IStructE #netzero
