At Bryden Wood, our architects and engineers work closely with life science businesses, tenants, and developers to quickly translate scientific, technological, and business requirements (both current and future) into compliant and productive lab designs.

It means our clients can make arrangements for carbon offsetting prior to the data centre facility being handed over.. We continue to investigate and take opportunities to make use of the heat that is generated by the cooling of data centres.with provision for heat export suitable for connection to district heating or industrial processes where viable.. We are also working with data centre clients on alternative sources of clean energy; an area where we see significant potential for data centres to become autonomous, and to promote the use of cleaner standby power systems.. A positive future for data centre design.

As society’s requirement for data processing grows, so the market for data centres will continue to grow – and at a frantic pace.The potential impact of our integrated approach, therefore, driving efficiency and improving performance, will only be more important for our clients and their customers..It is not sustainable, or desirable, to continue building more and more traditional data centres.

By ensuring that every element of these crucial facilities is viewed as an integral part of the whole, and by optimising all of them together, we will continue to work with our clients to ensure that the future of this market is a positive one.What is operational carbon?.Operational carbon refers to the emissions of a building during its operation.

This includes regulated carbon emissions (heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting and domestic hot water) and unregulated carbon emissions which include small power and plug-in systems.. What is embodied carbon?.

Embodied carbon refers to the carbon emissions generated by a building over its lifetime, including the processing, manufacture and distribution of building elements, the construction itself, the use of the building, the end-of-life scenarios and opportunities for reuse and recycle.. What does net zero carbon mean?.Moreover, it’s important to recognise that the Roadmap to 2030 sets everything out in a way which makes it easier for people to plan, looking at what will happen in the first two years of our progression, then two to five years, and five to ten.

This will enable people to plan, take advantage of opportunities, and evolve.When things are backed up from the client side, the supply chain can have confidence in evolving their approach and the departments will have confidence procuring this way as well.

We’ll find that small steps make a significant difference.It won’t take long..
