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.

The Forge vs Benchmarks – whole life carbon analysis.Lessons Learned.

Superstructure: The platform system reduces embodied carbon.Further development can be undertaken to explore reducing whole life carbon further.Ideas could include:.

Replacing Comflor with a less processed material which can act as formwork.Adjusting the concrete mix to be flowing rather than self-levelling which would reduce the cement content.

Exploring the use of low carbon concrete columns instead of steel ones.. Façade: Opportunities to improve the embodied carbon of facades, including finding alternatives to unitised and curtain walling systems, and their materiality.. Cladding: Elongating a material or components’ lifespan may increase the day one carbon but over the lifetime of the building the whole life carbon can be minimised, where replacement cycles are reduced.. Aluminium procurement: Minimising transport miles is important for materials.

However, the country of origin is also important for materials and components which are heavily manufactured, such as curtain walling.We will always be able to deliver the most value when we are engaged at the start of a project..
