â€In other words, what do you value about the outcome?
â€With limited riser space this means upper-floor office conversions are preferable, though these tend to be less advantageous from an access or structural point of view..â€It is essential roof exhausts have efflux arrangements that ensure discharged fumes get sufficiently away from the building to prevent recirculation into make-up systems or to anyone on the roof or in a nearby building.
â€In the UK, the British Standard has a blanket statement requiring fume stacks be either 3m high or 25% the building height – whichever is greater.â€For tall buildings this can lead to very high stacks that would impact the building’s appearance and will likely require Planning Permission.â€For example, a 10-storey office building with an average floor to floor height of 4m would require a stack 10m tall (nearly 3 storeys.)
â€There are a few ways to challenge this, including CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) modelling and the use of alternative discharge stacks (e.g.â€strobic fans), which may be necessary for some office to lab conversions.
â€Of course, local standards elsewhere will vary.. 5.
â€Existing office buildings may struggle to accommodate new laboratory utility plant and distribution.. A typical lab will consume two to five times as much energy as an office and may also have additional back-up power requirements.â€While this has since evolved, the use of a Reference Design continues to be a central part of their strategy to deliver schemes across the UK..
â€In addition to the public sector health and custodial programmers, we are currently deploying Reference Design and Chip Thinking across the private sector, particularly in the.â€data centre market.
â€and for logistics and fulfillment centers..â€The benefits of using a Reference Design even with a traditional supply chain.
