Gain insights into how reference design varies based on client or sector needs, with examples from the Ministry of Justice and the healthcare sector, demonstrating the adaptability and customisation of the approach..

that connections with family and friends are key to rehabilitation.The new design will have internal and external spaces in which prisoners and their visitors can socialise..

The overall design allows for flexible use of spaces, meaning that facilities don’t go unused.Many spaces are designed for multiple use, so classrooms can become communal rooms, and so on.. Central ‘resource hubs’ will house education facilities, libraries, full medical facilities, a gym, barbers and faith spaces, resembling a high street of services which is both normalising and promotes independence.. Of the standard building types, the most common is the house block, which represents nearly 60% of the accommodation on each site.Many of the innovations that came from this process are to be found in the house block:.

The new prison design signals the end of ‘gallery’ prisons.The new design will have much smaller, 20 person spurs with a much more domestic atmosphere.

The spurs are arranged in ’T’ shapes, creating outdoor courtyard spaces with plants.

Green spaces offer opportunities for both leisure activities and vital employment to prisoners, encouraging them to value their environment.. Barless windows that do not open and have integrated ventilation grills.These strategies can include reducing storey heights, optimising Hot Aisle Containment (HAC) required and reducing the clearances between data racks leading to a smaller data hall footprint.. At Bryden Wood, we advocate for a broader application of CFD in optimising and innovating data centre design, aiming for a more sustainable future within the industry.. Data Hall Design Optimisation.

CFD Analysis of a Switch Room.CFD is traditionally used within data halls and Electrical Plantrooms to assess IT or Electrical Plants (e.g.

UPS), both in normal running (N+X) and failure scenarios (N) and to ensure optimal cooling distribution and equipment performance.By integrating CFD early in the design process we can explore design options available to improve optimisation from both an economic and carbon standpoint..
