Bryden Wood unveils digital platform for decarbonising electricity production by 2050Above - in this video, Architecture Director Steven Tilkin describes Bryden Wood's approach to designing a new type of prison [image MoJ].. An innovative approach from an innovative Ministry.
Lincoln describes Edged’s parent organisation, Endeavour, as taking a holistic view of energy usage and carbon reduction.He explains the vision behind it:.
‘We have a company that oversees us… called Endeavour… really trying to solve global climate challenges that we’re facing right now with regards to the access to energy to meet the demands of these colo tenants while not continuing to hurt our planet.’.Edged aims to integrate on-site power generation - through microgrids, energy storage, or innovative cooling technology - to reduce reliance on conventional utilities.This approach supports resiliency and could allow facilities to feed surplus energy back into public networks.
Though the transition to greener power is complicated, incremental steps such as more efficient cooling and reduced water usage can significantly lighten the environmental burden over time.. Urban vs. remote sites: A changing landscape.While data centres have traditionally been located on large, out-of-town sites, newer developments often need to be closer to urban areas.
Latency requirements, local regulation, and land constraints mean that ‘cookie-cutter’ single-storey facilities are no longer the only game in town.
Lincoln points out that multi-storey or retrofitted data centres may soon become more common, especially when operators seek low-latency connections in city centres..This initial representation allows us to agree what kind of expertise we require to develop a solution.
For a prison design, that might mean that we need to understand how guards and social workers do their jobs.For a pharmaceutical plant, it might mean we need a specialist in oral solid dose manufacturing, a quality representative and a health and safety specialist.. Based on this initial representation, we can start gathering the knowledge and data that is essential for developing a solution.
We use this input to create a comprehensive and holistic model of the problem and the outline solution.We call this process Chip Thinking®️.
