From left to right: inboard design, outboard design, nested design.. Wellbeing and residential buildings.
These types of drawings are often created at RIBA Stage 2 then never carried through the project, but it’s vital information which develops the basis for the calculations and lab design.For labs we will therefore update this drawing at every design stage and use for quick reference..
Maintaining the client lab equipment list with all the necessary services is a must.As the information becomes more detailed, the list should be updated to reflect the latest information.Most issues we come across on a project are due to missing services or undefined duties within the laboratory equipment list.. Labs without extracting equipment can follow the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) guidance for air change rates, with supplementary cooling required from internal units such as fan coil units.
For spaces requiring close temperature control, we do not use refrigerant-to- air cooling..In labs with extracting equipment, especially fume cupboards, the make-up air required may be a very high volume and allow for centralised air cooling.
We always review the possibility of variable-volume fume cupboards to reduce the energy demand, whilst being aware that the stack discharge on fume cupboards must remain constant, which means the fans will require a bleed damper to allow make-up air to enter the fan to maintain constant efflux velocity.
With any fume extracting system, we will ensure the material of construction throughout the entire system is suitable for the extracted fumes.Sharp explains that the digital representation of a train timetable is just as important as the digital representation of a train itself, each providing important, but different, information.. Further, when we use digital twin technology there should always be a two-way interaction between the digital twin and the real thing.
The digital twin is used for simulation and experimentation, while the real-world thing provides feedback that can be used to affect the digital world.It’s possible that a digital twin could be real time, but it’s not a requirement.
Sharp explains that thorough investigation of historic data is more important.In other words, do the lights always go down when it rains?
