This is true Design to Value and adopting such an approach in conjunction with Modern Methods of Construction is transformational..Engaging with stakeholders to build an initial model of a solution.
We start out by discussing with our client in more detail what the fundamental problem is that they are facing.We need to understand who is affected by it and its solution.This allows us to identify the stakeholders and what they value.
We then determine with our client – and key stakeholders – what the high level aspects are of a solution that would solve this problem.That might sound a bit trivial, but the point is that the solution is almost never a building by itself.
A building is a system that, together with other systems, realises the value that matters to client and stakeholders..
In the case of the prison transformation project we worked on, this meant that there were two key components to the solution: the people that work in the prison and the building that allows them to do what they need to do in order to help prisoners in their rehabilitation journey.It's worth noting that cooling towers range in height from 4 to 8m tall compared to up to 3m of height for DAC and HDAC, which helps to improve the capacity of the cooling tower.. DEC & IAC units:.
While achieving low approach temperatures, their heat rejection capacity per unit volume is typically lower.This is because they rely solely on air cooling, and air has a lower specific heat capacity than water.. HDAC units:.
These units present a trade-off between approach temperature and capacity per unit volume.The graph shows both operating modes of the same size HDAC unit providing two different heat rejection capacities.. Air-cooled chiller (Free Cooling):.
