Everyone brings their own unique expertise.
Any leftovers from building the components can be used on subsequent projects, recycled onsite or restocked, minimising wastage.. How can we minimise risk in the building sector?.Minimising risk in the construction industry is important in encouraging developers and designers to take account of circular economy principles.
Early decision making will give developers and funders confidence in design and construction choices and will have the largest impact as a result..The following are suggestions of how risk can be minimised whilst maximising impact and implementing sustainable construction:.Ask yourself whether you really need to build a new building or whether repurposing an existing building could achieve the same end goal..
Undertake a pre-demolition audit to understand the potential for reuse on the existing site.Use this information to develop sustainable construction design solutions..
Understand the potential reuse of buildings or building components locally, including the need to transport and store materials.. Balance cut and fill to reduce off-site waste and new material brought to construction sites.. Use lean design principles to reduce the amount of material overall.
This will also reduce the embodied carbon..Driven by the relentless development of CPU and GPU processing power, the need for ever greater power and cooling density at rack level continues to increase exponentially.
Data processed has roughly doubled every two years from 2 zettabytes in 2010 to 149 zettabytes in 2024, and the trend continues.It was suggested that the increase in processor power will lead to rack density increasing, with the 1MW rack already being envisaged..
The change at processor/rack level density is accelerating at a rate that brings challenges to construction project delivery.When projects can take four to five years to realise, there might be a tenfold increase in rack density within that lifetime, creating a significant dilemma of what to build and how to pivot..
