Rethinking the status quo for more sustainable building design.
If engineers and architects would go back to construction sites out of sheer interest, Lamont says, we could get back to the beginning of what we’re doing and achieve more human results.Ultimately, it’s a focus on connection and humanity that will facilitate the great unlock for the construction industry..

http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesTo stop the worst scenarios from materialising, we need to decarbonise electricity and heat production.To help do that, we must address the future of coal.At Bryden Wood, we are working with.
, a non-profit organisation focused on action for climate and prosperity, on a major initiative: Repurposing Coal.The future of coal and advanced heat.
More than 2,000 Gigawatts (GW) of coal-fired capacity is operating in the world today, adding roughly 15 billion tons of CO₂ emissions per year.
This amounts to almost half of all carbon emissions..Our first job was to look at all sorts of options about where they might build a new refinery, from the UK to Europe to Asia.
For a number of reasons, the UK was the best option.Then of course we had to find a suitable location in the UK and masterplan the site.
The conclusion we came to was to knock down a series of existing buildings close to the current facility.This would allow us to build the new refinery while keeping the old one going for as long as possible, before transferring operations to the new one.. As you can imagine, a refinery is a hugely technical building and the M&E element is the most significant part of the project.
