knew exactly what she wanted from her own space and it wasn’t a homogeneous desk rental.
The spaces between heated, humid, pool halls and cooled gyms, or external areas, are particularly challenging.Condensation can cause staining or mould growth on the building fabric, and saturate insulation layers, degrading their performance.
There are also health and safety risks from mould spores or people slipping on surface water.Working closely with Grahams, MSL and Saunders Boston, Bryden Wood used AnTherm software along with finite difference numerical modelling, building thermal modelling and probabilistic weather data, to assess condensation risk.As a result, design changes could be made to reduce condensation.. As these two excellent new facilities open their doors, the communities that they serve can feel the benefits of a well-managed indoor climate, and the client can be confident that they have assets that manage energy efficiently.Engineering matters.
Engineering is an important part of Bryden Wood, and the wider UK Economy.An Engineering UK survey found that no less than 27% of enterprises in the UK are engineering-related, with the sector growing in size by 5.6%, from 2015 to 2016.
The industry already generates 23% of the UK’s total turnover and employs 5.6 million people, but more are needed.
In fact, there’s an annual shortfall of around 59,000 graduates and technicians against available roles.We used modular design principles for both equipment and layout, to maximise adaptability and flexibility of the finished facility..
The project ensured that GSK and ViiV Healthcare were able to make enough product to continue clinical trials, and were able to make the required regulatory submissions to the FDA and CHMP.. Understanding use and creating an improved environment.Our Design to Value approach, and fascination with data, and understanding processes and uses of buildings, as at Parma, often leads to solutions which are focused on highly efficient design, and the optimum solution for the end user.. Bryden Wood have worked closely with Circle Healthcare on many projects, including their Reading and Birmingham Hospitals.
In these projects, Bryden Wood strove to understand the clinical practicalities of the hospital, balancing many stakeholder needs.At Circle Birmingham, as in any hospital, the key project was excellent and efficient patient care, and Bryden Wood’s approach was to make this as easy as possible for the staff, while creating a welcoming, beautiful environment for patients.
