It's the intelligent bit and the bit that adds value.. Chips are enabling tools that do a lot of work and add a lot of value.

The operational carbon emissions are based on the assumption that at the current rate of decarbonisation, the emissions by 2040 will be 67gCO./kWh (BEIS 2040), and that by 2050 they will be zero carbon..

The charts below show the total accumulated carbon emissions and the detailed 60-year projection of the three cases.Looking at the total emissions after 60 years, light refurbishment is the most advantageous adaptive reuse option (26% less carbon than new construction), followed by a full refurbishment (23% better than new construction).A red dotted line in the graphs below identifies the potential additional embodied carbon reduction from materials due to the decarbonisation of the grid.

The quantum of the reduction from the decarbonisation of materials would be highly dependent on where they are produced and the characteristics of the grid in those countries..The 60-year projection charts clearly show that the new construction option would have a much higher impact on the first year of use, due to the embodied carbon of construction using new materials.

Even though the new construction option benefits from a better operational carbon from day one, the decarbonisation of the grid ‘flattens’ the operational carbon emissions in the.

retrofit options, dampening the difference with a new build..Circle Birmingham Hospital.

and Rehabilitation project.She has been involved in the design from conception, contributing to the improvement in quality of the internal spaces for patients, staff and visitors.

Thanks to her expertise in healthcare architecture, she has primarily focused on refining the internal layout of the hospital, through the ongoing engagement of stakeholders and user groups from Circle hospitals.. Martina has led the team through the construction stage for Circle Birmingham, with a design, management and coordinating role on the project which involves dealing with clients, contractors and external consultants.She is also involved in the detail design of the hospital’s rehabilitation expansion of the project, overseeing the design process and the interference with the hospital scheme currently on site.. Martina is also involved in Healthcare projects for the MoJ (as part of the current Prisons Estate Transformation Project), and compliance checks for medical facilities in Europe and Asia.Jami leads the ‘Central Logic’ approach at Bryden Wood, and her work sits at the intersection between Architecture,.
