It is also advised that in the event of further virus outbreaks, heat recovery devices are switched off – affecting the efficiency of HVAC systems.. Additionally, the recommendation to switch off recirculating cooling systems (fan coils and passive chilled beams) to limit the movement of airborne particles would affect thermal comfort and wellbeing due to overheating..
He could count on receiving them, he knew exactly what they were, and he could schedule his other work around them.This is the power of productisation, Marks says, elaborating on her previous metaphor by saying that when you build a “man-made reef in the middle of the ocean... ecosystems build around it.”.
Bringing up digital twins, she reiterates that it’s only through productisation, not process, that we’ll have the level of certainty needed to be able to do things correctly and to the best effect.However, she cautions that we can’t just jump straight from our current position, which she likens to “crawling out of the primordial ooze,” to an end goal of mass customisation akin to ordering a bespoke, Nike shoe.. Jaimie Johnston says that at the moment, there are still too many breaks in the digital chain to get us exactly where we need to go.. “We never get operational data in a particularly sensible format,” he says.“You know, the statutory approvals process isn't digital.”.
He says that to get the benefits we’re seeking, all of these other aspects need to be reconciled first, and one of the things that will enable that is productisation.It’s not really “anything to do with DfMA,” he says, or whether it's a panelised, or volumetric or Platform system.
“You're miles away from that if we don't get all of these other ecosystem elements in place to support it.”.
Johnston recalls a bathroom pod project early in his own career, where the beautifully designed, millimetre-perfect pods had to be inserted into a traditionally built building.. Aiming for efficiency in such modular projects carries risk..I have often come back to contemplating this topic when reading about mitochondria.
We have mitochondria in all our cells, they convert carbohydrate molecules into packets of energy (ATP) that can then be used directly by our cells to function.ATP powers muscle cell contraction, protein building, cell replication.. To go down a rabbit hole briefly, these fascinating organelles are the vestiges of ancient bacteria which somehow became intertwined with the larger eucaryote cells of animals and plants.
They have their own DNA which is only passed on through the female line.The way they produce ATP is by becoming self-charging batteries of 180mV which drives all the processes in a cell.. To get back to scale; do we have one of these in each cell?
