E08: Strawbale Panels and Biophilic Design - Talina Edwards

PRACTICE MANAGEMENT AND PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT

PC 10 Demonstrate understanding of the whole life carbon implications of procurement methods, materials, components and construction systems.

PROJECT INITIATION AND CONCEPTUAL DESIGN

PC 28 Be able to draw on knowledge from building sciences and technology, environmental sciences and behavioural and social sciences as part of preliminary design research and when developing the conceptual design to optimise the performance of the project.

PC 31 Environmental Sustainability Be able to identify, analyse and integrate information relevant to environmental sustainability – such as energy and water consumption, resources depletion, waste, embodied carbon emissions – over the lifecycle of a project.

PC 33 Be able to investigate, coordinate and integrated sustainable environmental systems- including water, thermal, lighting and acoustics- in response to consultants advice.

PC 35 Be able to assess operational and embodied carbon implications of materials, components, construction systems and supply chains (including transport) to achieve net zero whole life carbon when developing design concepts. This includes integrating relevant consultant expertise and advising on the impact of chosen materials, components and systems on carbon outcomes.

DETAILED DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION

PC 45 Quality and Performance Standards Be able to nominate and integrate quality and performance standards with regard to selected materials, finishes, fittings, components and systems, considering the impact on Country, and the environment, and the whole life carbon impact of the project. This includes integrating life cycle assessments and other expertise and advice from consultants.
