Welcome to this bite-sized webinar where Helen Hough, our Head of Sustainability, guides you through the groundbreaking project of The Forge, located in London.
Covering a sprawling area of 14,000 square meters across two nine-story office buildings, The Forge is a beacon of sustainable architecture. Completed in March 2023, this project is celebrated as the world's first major commercial development designed with our P-DfMA approach, leveraging standardisation to achieve unprecedented levels of customisation, thereby reducing both carbon footprint and costs significantly.
This webinar highlights the project's embodied carbon achievements, detailing the journey from conventional design practices to the incorporation of P-DfMA - resulting in a remarkable 39% reduction in upfront carbon emissions. Through meticulous calculations by Cundall on behalf of Landsec, we explore the transformative impact of DfMA from design to completion, highlighting the project's alignment with the UK Green Building Council's Net Zero Carbon Buildings Framework and its stellar performance under the NABERS UK Design for Performance rating.
Join Helen as she takes you through the critical lessons learned from The Forge, offering insights into optimising superstructure design, enhancing façade construction, and pioneering MEP systems - all while keeping an eye on the broader goal of minimising whole-life carbon impact.
Let's continue the conversation and lead the charge towards a more sustainable and efficient future in construction. Please feel free to get in touch with us for further discussion.
