The non-safety related systems for different reactors have strong similarities and can be standardised across different reactor technologies.. A key driver for cost and duration of projects is the complexity of design, construction, and approval process for safety related systems.

If we’re pumping air into our buildings to make sure the environment is clean, are we wasting energy?Focusing on sustainability in design with passive design measures can help us rely less on mechanical systems.

When we do use them, it’s important to make sure they’re energy efficient — they need to be properly designed, set up and commissioned.. Construction technology: data and computer modelling.As time progresses and construction technology advances, the importance of data and computer modelling in sustainable design continues to grow.A few years ago, we had only very basic computer modelling to help us understand what to expect from a building’s energy performance.

These days, additional layers of data are being added in, so that our design decisions are really being driven by data now.This enables us to make better, sustainable design choices, and to improve a building’s performance right from the start.

We look at issues such as the material choice for a building’s facade and structure, as well as energy performance and thermal comfort.

These are evaluated with respect to the passing of time.Integration of scope and design and delivery process.

Key interactions.The critical chain ran through Integration Strategy (1.)

and Design Sprint (2.).The actual tasks for Integrating Strategy were very tricky to tie down.
