When coupled with building mounted renewables, it can deliver low to non-existent energy bills to occupants, with some designs capable of being cost negative over the course of the year..

Together, the development of these captures the purpose and evolves the understanding of requirements.The Problem statement and value drivers may read something like this: -.

Manufacturing Site A has evolved over time into a Jigsaw of process buildings, development buildings, support functions, and office accommodation.Some of the site is highly utilised, while others have been mothballed.There is a mixture of asset age and the site has a number of ongoing and proposed investment cycles to replace or renovate e.g.

automation systems and utilities.. How can the site develop a masterplan which: -.• Brings to life the value and issues.

• Looks at multiple layers of value: - financial, operation, adaptability, environmental, aesthetics, investment attractiveness etc.. • Allowing the modelling of future scenarios helping to optimise decision making.

• Leaves the client with an output that helps to share and sell their message.. Or.which provide guidance for building owners and managers on how to start reoccupying their buildings.

The guidance relates to safe working practices and the assessment of building services..Some of the key themes are around air: providing more fresh air and avoiding recirculating air.

The guidance includes bypassing those heat recovery devices which may recirculate air in some circumstances, and considering air pathways – how air comes in, moves around and leaves a building.This is because occupants of a poorly ventilated room are exposed to a higher concentration of airborne pathogens.
