This is reflected in the designs targeting both the Passivhaus Thermal Comfort criterion as well as CIBSE TM 59, which ensures adequate thermal performance.. Resilient and adaptable to different climate conditions: Passivhaus also provides additional resilience by adopting a design based on passive design strategies coupled with technological solutions that can easily be upgraded, refurbished and replaced.
Creating, innovating, and assessing design ideas can only be done within the context of this captured understanding.. What needs to be remembered is that Value is not generated at a single point, there is a value chain.For instance, a good experience at a restaurant may start with the availability of the menus, ease of booking, adaptability to your needs.
Then move on to the welcome, the ambience, the food, the price, and so on.. And in the Value chain there may be clear ambiguities or conflicts that need to be resolved.These can be brought to life by creating a value landscape.This is a visualisation of the different stakeholders.
Take Company A that wants to deliver affordable quality housing as part of a long-term secure investment of funds.To do this they need to develop a product, get it built by a Developer, and attract people to live in the accommodation, Dwellers.
The designer of the product could develop a very simple value landscape using the Kano model (a product value model) where Threshold Attributes are minimum standards, Performance Attributes are the-more-the-better and Excitement Attributes are just that.
Through doing this, the designer can start to see incongruities in the value chain..All of these design features helped to achieve exceptionally low carbon emissions, with both centres achieving A rated energy performance certificates.
Barnet Copthall has an Asset Rating of 20 which exceeds the requirements of Part L2a, and delivers CO. 2. emission reductions of over 37% when compared to the target building.They are good examples of projects that follow the “Be Lean, Be Clean and Be Green” guidelines in the London Plan Energy Hierarchy..
Managing condensation.The spaces between heated, humid, pool halls and cooled gyms, or external areas, are particularly challenging.
