It’s a real workspace.’.

We urgently need clear and practical guides on how to deliver net zero carbon future now.The new LETI guides fulfil this aim and are a timely addition to the growing suite of guides.

This is a must read for construction professionals.’.As things stand, the UK is not on track to hit the government target of net zero carbon emissions by 2050..The Climate Emergency Design Guide.

is an essential tool to help the built environment create coordinated consensus and do more to stop runaway climate change.Building new homes to the highest efficient standards is an important first step to cutting emissions from housing.

Clara Bagenal George (Associate at Elementa Consulting) who initiated LETI and is the lead editor of the report, said.

‘The building industry knows that we should be designing climate-friendly buildings now, but unfortunately only a fraction of new properties are of the standard needed to meet our climate targets.’.Platforms enable us to get down to a much more granular level and simultaneously open the door for continual improvement and variability going forward with respect to supply chain choices, material choices and so on.. Maximising value with construction platforms.

Because platform construction uses a limited number of components, it gives us a greater amount of control.We’re able to limit the number of processes and operations which have to happen on site and we can control materials much more accurately.

There are also considerable time-saving benefits with P-DfMA, which enable us to spend more time on the design and optimisation of components in the first place.We put a tremendous amount of effort into component design because we know we’ll be using those same components again and again.
