P-DfMA: designing to zero carbon in use
Aligning internal spaces with process equipment minimises unnecessary spans..
Bryden Wood's female engineers make up 14% of the team, which is higher than the Women's Engineering Society's stats for 2018, which gives a figure of 12.37% female engineers in the UKSustainability has long been an integral part of our design approach.We believe the design and construction industry needs to change and find new, sustainable, high quality and cost effective solutions for our towns and cities.
Our architects and engineers are driven to create a highly productive, digitally-led industry, which improves the sustainability, efficiency and aesthetic quality of all aspects of the built environment.The ensuing benefit lowers the financial and carbon cost of assets to business and society.It is for this reason, we’re delighted to join a coalition of leading industry professionals who have contributed to a new guide and primer illustrating how the industry can work together and address the climate emergency..

are being published by LETI - the London Energy Transformation Initiative.
LETI is a voluntary network of over 1000 built environment professionals who are working together to put London on the path to a zero carbon future.A clear and universally understood definition framework would help increase stakeholder awareness and confidence in adopting innovative construction methods and could help encourage a more structured and focused conversation across the industry at large..
The minefield of different terms means there is a tendency to assume that the landscape is complicated but there really is a simple relationship between all these different elements and it starts with DfMA.. DfMA is a design approach.The clue is in the name.
“Design for Manufacture and Assembly” is a design approach.Conventional design either has a presumption towards conventional construction or is agnostic regarding the construction method.
