We have to bear in mind the coordination below the ceiling too, with dropping services, wall-mounted isolation and panels, shut-off valves and emergency stop buttons, all competing for space on the walls.
Even with all the progress into modern renewable power, including wind, solar, biomass, geothermal and ocean power, these only account for 1.7% of global final energy demand.To reduce our CO. 2. emissions correctly, industrial plastics production would ideally be designed with sustainable electricity production in mind to power their production in conjunction with CCU to reduce the carbon footprint further.. Reducing Our Carbon Footprint.
We know we have a long way to go in our efforts to negate climate change and, as discussed, the benefits of carbon capture when used effectively will have a significant impact on the footprint of the plastics industry.The goal of using carbon capture in conjunction with other greener methods like green hydrogen and greener electricity is one we should strive to include more in future projects.Gabrielli and his colleagues are determined that the industry can be defossilised and that carbon capture is the key.
For the sake of our planet, we must believe that too.As we evolve our perspectives to consider how to coexist with our planet and not just take from it, we can see that industrial plastics have the potential to help make strides in reducing the carbon footprints of what we build, live in and use.
This is, after all, the spirit of Bryden Wood; to challenge what exists for the sake of progress.
Therefore, I hope that we will continue to design for – and use – carbon capture and its benefits for a long time to come.. Footnotes:.Overall in the office, it’s still probably more men, especially when you look at all the disciplines, but when you look at the architectural team we are completely balanced....
If you are a young woman starting out in architecture, being a woman shouldn’t stop you from pursuing your career.It’s exciting and very creative.
In this office, we get to do so many different things and work on so many different types of buildings.’.* - Bryden Wood's female architects make up 54% of the architectural team, which is significantly higher than the Architects' Journal stats for AJ100 practices in 2019, which states the average to be 34%.
