However, liquid cooling topology can be more complicated and expensive, so the trajectory for take up of this technology is still evolving.. Another disparity in scales arises between rack density and cooling technology infrastructure.
It has not even adopted technology that is virtually standard in other areas.. As such, planning is an excellent example of a process ready for digitisation.Many elements could be digitised and therefore automated, reducing friction (which causes delay and cost) and streamlining activity from project design through consultation, to planning approval and construction.
Modernising the planning process in this way would drive efficiency, enhance quality and benefit everyone involved, directly and indirectly..This project has concrete and practical deliverables, therefore, but will also make a significant contribution towards a digitally enabled development industry.A key principle for us is collaboration and engagement with others in the field..
This project has been a collaboration between the London Borough of Southwark, the Centre for Digital Built Britain, Bryden Wood and 3DRepo.. Benefits of a digitised planning process.The benefits of a seamless end-to-end digital planning process will be many and wide-reaching.
Removing the planning bottleneck: there has been significant progress in digitisation for design and construction, but planning, which sits in the middle, is lagging behind and causing delays.
The UK has huge construction requirements in multiple sectors – the planning process should be an enabler, not a barrier..A building’s impact starts before the building exists and carries on past the end of its useful life, as part of the circular economy.
We can demonstrate that early sustainable impact can have an exponentially positive impact on carbon savings and the creation of our sustainable future.. Second-hand, locally sourced materials can influence design.This might be re-using existing raised flooring, using demolition crush material for a piling mat, or re-using existing steel columns.
A pre-demolition audit of an existing building highlights reusable and recyclable materials.Where materials can be reused, these should be considered for reuse on the same or a local site, thereby reducing material miles and facilitating a more sustainable construction process.
