These efforts are aligned with IPD principles by ensuring that projects not only meet technical specifications but also contribute positively to the communities involved.. 4.
The question for us is not “how is this done traditionally?”, but “what is the best possible way to do this?” For young digital thinkers, as for all of our engineers, that commitment to innovation, is a compelling reason to work here, rather than the technology sector.. How to get into engineering at Bryden Wood.Awareness of what engineers do, and the attractions of the industry, is improving.
But how do you get a job in it?Many assume that you need to have a university degree, and that’s a great option, but not the only one.Taking the apprenticeship route has many benefits.
It immediately places you within the workplace where you learn practical skills, whilst engaging in the academic work needed to gain professional qualifications.So a great choice for young people who like to be hands on while they learn.. Apprenticeship progression within Bryden Wood.
Our apprentices are part of a learning culture where all non-chartered staff are supported in gaining their chartership through a CIBSE (Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers) training scheme.
(In fact, some senior staff members from Bryden Wood sit on the CIBSE Training and Diversity Group, helping to audit CIBSE accredited training schemes at other companies.)The future of wellbeing in architectural design.
The impact of the pandemic has highlighted the importance of designing for wellbeing.While this is positive for building occupants, the lessons learned from COVID have shown that some of the design decisions taken to make buildings healthier, have implications for energy efficiency that can affect the aspiration to deliver low-carbon buildings.. Our response to the challenge is a holistic approach to sustainable design and wellbeing, with a strong focus on the use of passive design measures.
We aim to give such a response to all different challenges, looking for synergies and using building physics and analytical tools to support our decisions..The building of the future is energy efficient, but also a place with higher standards in terms of air quality, daylight and thermal experience, with a strong connection to nature.
