However, they are still small compared to A1-A3.. Accounting for biogenic carbon capture when carrying out a whole life carbon assessment.
He adds that it’s difficult to make sense of so much information in a single Excel spreadsheet, and says it ended up multiplying exponentially..Although Ricketts is keen to begin to harness the benefits and opportunities that will come from digitising the planning system, he agrees with Sharp’s observations about security and the possibility of accidentally sharing too much.
He believes it will be much better to build in the necessary data security right from the beginning of the process, and says that will be a key next step to address.This will mean that applicants will share with the local planning authority only as much as is actually needed.Unlike the 2D plans and PDF documents currently in use, BIM and digital technology enable applicants to segment their designs, making this possible and less prone to mistakes.. Ricketts says that next steps will revolve around using the Gateway One process that’s come out of the Hackitt Report and the Building Safety Bill, and will involve extracting and digitising important fire safety information from architecture and engineering models.
The Building Safety Bill specifies that information must be held securely on a digital platform, and it’s much more sensible to start doing it now, rather than having to catch up later once it’s all gone through the paper-based planning system.The importance, value and scalability of digitising these building safety processes will be evident to everyone..
Sharing data for a better future.
The possibility of digitising our built environment clearly holds the potential for a wide array of valuable benefits.We use a range of different tools and techniques to help guide this process: modelling, data analytics and discrete event simulation.
However, one of the most transformative is a process called Chip Thinking®️, which arose from a desire to link different data sets when modelling.Normally, a project’s data is segmented by department: finance, engineering, logistics...
The people working in these areas, and even the people who understand the project as a whole, are separated from each other.Chip Thinking®️ brings everyone together.
