As a result, the initiative really must be headed by a government client.

The question is, how do we help governments make choices that support their ambitions?Value drivers aren’t exactly the same from one country to the next, and so we’ll need to help them make choices based on what’s best for their own local needs, projects and communities..

Although our technical services and products are becoming increasingly exportable and marketable, we need a more cohesive and collaborative approach regarding how we bring that UK construction value proposition to market.It may be that BIM unlocks value, or value unlocks finance, or finance unlocks BIM, but there is a real chance to develop a ‘UK brand’ construction approach that we can sell internationally.We don’t want to compete on how cheaply we can provide labor and concrete.

We want to compete on how much value we can add, and how we can help support the delivery of infrastructure and development plans of economies throughout the world..The Construction Leadership Council and Developing a UK Value Proposition.

There can be no doubt that the UK has a crucial role to play in shaping the future of the construction industry.

The Construction Leadership Council, working very closely with the Department for International Trade, has started to address this.It allows us to model scenarios so that building operators can effectively predict threats to occupant comfort.

We can test rectification measures in a simulated environment and understand how they will affect energy bills – before choosing the most appropriate option.. A moment to act.Once you have planned how to meet the challenges of thermal comfort, now is also the time to do a full MOT of your ventilation, heating and cooling plant.

Cleaning out the filters, checking the pump pressure and tweaking the control systems are all examples of simple fixes that will help plant to run more efficiently and reduce energy bills.CIBSE provides recommendations on how to maintain ventilation plant safely, given the viral risk.. Over time, we adjust the ventilation in a building to suit the partitioning of spaces and changes to how the building is occupied.
