'I’m a mechanical engineer.
That’s lower in cost!To put that in context, if the quantity of electricity used by the UK about 320 Bn KWh per year was moved from gas to offshore wind the saving would be £126Billion per year.
If you wanted a 5-year pay back with such a saving, you could afford to invest over £600Billion.There is a direct synergy between financial return and moving to renewable energy..The payback, the value generated for doing the right thing on the environment is immense, in monetary terms and in our living environment and in protection of people and biodiversity; and in feeling that we are part of a generation that acted and made the world a better place for everybody.
These are things in our power and reach.We can reap the hard-won benefits of technology and freedoms while at the same time repairing the world..
Professor John Dyson spent more than 25 years at GlaxoSmithKline, eventually ending his career as VP, Head of Capital Strategy and Design, where he focussed on developing a long-term strategic approach to asset management..
While there, he engaged Bryden Wood and together they developed the Front End Factory, a collaborative endeavour to explore how to turn purpose and strategy into the right projects – which paved the way for Design to Value., constructing a major commercial office design development using Platforms construction, which is already showing exceptional environmental gains, for example: a 40% reduction in steel used; a forecast 19.4% reduction in embodied carbon per square metre, a 36.4% carbon reduction in the substructure and 20.2% in the superstructure and façade..
In 2019, a new GSK facility started production in Parma, Italy.The initial requirement was to design and build a pharmaceutical facility in 15 months that would usually have taken closer to three years to complete, in order to maintain supply of a life-saving treatment for people with HIV.
We achieved this mould-breaking pharmaceutical facility by, as described, investing significant time and focus in modelling the problem before going anywhere near construction..The Parma project is an evidenced demonstration that our Design to Value approach made it possible to design, construct and commission a new pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in record time without increasing budgets or compromising on any aspect of quality.. A proven approach: shaping the future of construction with DtV.
