governmental support and policy inclusion, and for uptake in relevant sectors and industries, such as industrial plastic production.

CIBSE provides recommendations on how to maintain ventilation plant safely, given the viral risk.. Over time, we adjust the ventilation in a building to suit the partitioning of spaces and changes to how the building is occupied.Now is a great time to check the commissioning of your systems to make sure there is a good spread of ventilation across each room.. It’s important to pay particular attention to toilets, and transient spaces such as stair cores.

With social distancing, a 20-person lift is now only able to carry one person, so staircases are going to become much busier.These spaces need adequate ventilation, therefore.They shouldn’t be overlooked just because people don’t spend a large portion of their day sitting in them.

This might well present its own challenges..The government recommends that all building owners and occupiers undertake a COVID-19 risk assessment before moving back into their office buildings.

The health and safety of occupants is of paramount importance.

But this moment also gives you an opportunity to make small changes to the way your systems operate; to make meaningful improvements to the efficiency of systems, control your energy bills and limit the impact of increased ventilation on the environment.105 Sumner Street - designed for development by Landsec - will be the first major building completed using our Platform Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA) approach from building design to delivery.. P-DfMA is a versatile and customisable construction system for commercial, residential and other building types.. P-DfMA consists of common parts, all made from readily available materials, which have been designed to go together in rehearsed ways.The fourth industrial revolution has often been proclaimed as that of AI, Machine Learning, the internet of things, but the fourth industrial revolution needs to be about decarbonisation.

This will be about the industrialisation of wind, wave, water, solar power; industrialisation of energy saving, carbon-capture and energy storage.All this must be done with the lowest embedded carbon methods we can find, while also protecting and supporting the natural world to begin to thrive again..

This is no simple task.However, we know that the systematisation of methods, super-charged with developments in creative technologies, is a proven way to exponentially industrialise, as it has in the last 100 years.
