It is designed to a ‘zero carbon in use’ strategy, and is already achieving gains:.
By digitally modelling the design against the given brief/constraints using Chips, we can quickly see how well the design will work, and what we can adapt to fit the wide range of needs and constraints involved.This ability to adapt the configuration of a design would be impossible in a design expressed as 100% single components..
The ‘local’ design is then focused on ground conditions, utilities, infrastructure, placemaking, flows of people etc..Figure 2 Example configurations of healthcare Chips.Read more about our.
methodology here.. We introduced this concept to the New Hospitals Programme, developing the initial ‘Hospital 2.0’ solution.While this has since evolved, the use of a Reference Design continues to be a central part of their strategy to deliver schemes across the UK..
In addition to the public sector health and custodial programmers, we are currently deploying Reference Design and Chip Thinking across the private sector, particularly in the.

It’s when those big owners start making demands that the shifts occur.She refers to big-budget school programmes as an example and talks about their need for operational consistency, usually over large geos.
