It’s not really “anything to do with DfMA,” he says, or whether it's a panelised, or volumetric or Platform system.

You could achieve 10x as much density in a given data hall footprint, but the external mechanical and electrical plant will be 10x bigger.This could present an opportunity for manufacturers or suppliers to develop a new suite of products, especially given land cost and pressures.

We know this is happening in the US right now, where a major manufacturer is developing new products for a specific DC owner..Recent news on the release of open-source DeepSeek and its impact on the share price of Nvidia suggests that there may be some striation in the market..Some AI models, though not in the leading peloton, are close behind and more cost-effective.

These applications may place lower demands on processing and cooling and hold a lower facility price point.. Everyone in the room agreed that standing still is not an option..Some believe that we’re reaching the edges of technological development in cooling, certainly from current supply chains.

There are other cooling technologies (e.g.

some developed for the defunct space shuttle programme), but these are currently 100x the cost.This is about understanding how to take information about one stage of an asset, and make it usable for another stage.

Our approach will generate a density of information that we can make use of throughout the design and build process (including planning) – and then beyond construction, into the operation of buildings and ultimately their end of life.Standardised data will vastly improve transparency and efficiency, and open up opportunities for future innovation..

Enabling planning as a data-led process will unlock the value of related modern methods of construction, enabling connections with related applications such as the PRiSM app for housing.. Making processes more efficient and transparent will force the hand of the regulatory environment – as we have seen in other sectors, better technology drives the modernisation of regulations.. And, of course, the lessons learned from this project can be applied beyond planning.This sort of project helps create the environment for people – public and professionals – to engage with digital in the public realm.
