There are many possible options for any business challenge and with digital simulations we can rapidly consider them and focus our attention on the best-performing ones.. DATA ANALYSIS DELIVERS A BETTER BUILT ENVIRONMENT.

Renewables also have problems to do with dispatch power and consistency, as well as challenges with site locations.Last summer, which was a still and cloudy one, wind and solar simply didn’t generate as much energy as we would have liked, and at this stage, all of the easiest, most suitable sites (the ones which may have access to transmission, and are very suited to wind and solar projects), have already been taken.. Interestingly, while energy systems modelling for wind and solar power often shows a hockey stick curve, as if the upward trajectory of deployment will continue undeterred, in actual fact, this isn’t the case.

Over time, we find that the hockey stick turns into an S shaped curve instead.In other words, renewables are getting progressively harder to do.In fact, the more we build, the more challenging renewable energy becomes..

In addition, public resistance to building out an ever increasing amount of infrastructure is mounting, and this resistance is happening before the conversation even turns to transmission, which, Gogan says, is very difficult to build, as it’s hard to make the case that people will directly benefit from things such as the creation of jobs.This results in real challenges over land use.. And yet, the net zero transition is undoubtedly going to require a large amount of new infrastructure to be built, raising big questions about where to build it.

Gogan points out that it really doesn't matter how cheap something is, if you can't build it in the first place.

What we need to do now, she says, is reevaluate the perceived risks of nuclear, against the risks of failing to decarbonise, and adopt advanced heat solutions to help us on our journey.. At Bryden Wood, we believe it’s important to lean into all of the technologies available to us at this critical time.Liquid waste may need to be collected and even treated on-site, which again means additional plant space, and potential spillage (e.g.

from vessels or emergency showers) also needs to be assessed – particularly on upper-floor office conversions.. Lastly, labs will typically use a range of gasses.These must be stored and distributed, and appropriate safety systems installed.

In some cases this can be relatively simple, while other gasses (e.g.vaporised liquid nitrogen which is used in cryogenics, or oxygen which is used in bioreactors) can be very problematic – especially on upper-floors or where labs neighbour office tenancies.. 6.
