DP2 - Wandering Earth

Week 19:

This week I kept focusing on the workshop by first improving on the plan and then choosing three zones from the plan and designed the roof, facade and structural systems specifically to the environmental conditions required by each zone:

The south facing facade receives the highest level of solar radiation and activities including cutting and drilling take place in this zone, which can lead to overheating in the space, especially at summer. Therefore a layered strategy is implemented on the facade with dense and wide rain-fuel/solar panels acting also as shading devices which can result in effective cooling off the space.

The East Facing Facade provides excellent natural light in the morning and has a good view down the hill towards the city, therefore there are voids on the facades to provide opportunities for a balcony area. The facade panels are more curled up to further provide natural lighting and views as there are workbenches behind the east facade.

The North Facade in 2050 will encounter more severed environmental conditions as it receives poor natural light and is normally cold and damp. Therefore the facade panels are less dense to allow more light entering the space and more gaps on the roof to provide lighting. Deicing systems inspired by the aviation industry extends out from the roof to clean the icing that may form on the facade.

The Roof has different levels and grooves to direct the rainwater to drip down onto the facade elements and utilises its potential energy to regenerate energy; but also recycled into the bathroom to be reused. The roof has a curved shape that rises at certain points for lighting purposes.

I should keep working on these three design modules and use line drawings in combination with these renders to reveal the HVAC, structural and water systems of the space. Doing lighting and heating simulations on the interior space to prove the systems function properly

Key ideas mentioned:

Hollow tiles for heating and ventilation systems running through

shape the tiles so it guides the cool down streaming air around the furniture in the room

Pneumatically designed air exhaustion systems for manufacturing area (Reference to Zaha Science Museum)

Shelving systems on the facade to hang and dry the pieces manufactured in the workshop

Light pipes bringing light to the working area that is integrated with the furniture

furniture suspended from the ground with localized heating, water running through the furniture

Ramps connecting the buildings that extend out into the forest and foreshadowing the theme and emotions that the next building is going to bring to the visitors. Buildings get cut through similarly to canyons.

When presenting, show how spatial organization, facade systems and furniture systems are designed differently according to the hot and cold environment and lux levels.

I got sucked into playing Oxygen Not Included again and now it’s living rent free in my brain like the boys. Enjoy these extremely specific headcanons on them playing base building/resource management/colony sim games.

Sky - He plays like a normal person. Does his best to make his base thrive but makes all the beginner mistakes. His second attempt is way way better but nothing crazy. Never gets too deep into the mechanics. Only plays for a few hours and eventually stops because someone starts backseat playing.

Wild - Chaos. His base is somehow drowning, on fire, in the middle of a drought and freezing. All at once. Literally nothing is working and his little guys are all dying to death. His second attempt is not any better. Nor is his third. He’s not good at micromanaging and constantly tries to build things that are way too big and wayyyy too resource heavy and it ends up killing him. He was super into building a really cool hot tub/massage room and neglected to make sure his guys have oxygen. But he’s having fun so it’s all good

Champion - Is on top of everything. Reads the entire in-game encyclopedia before he even starts the game so he knows everything he needs to. His base is very spartan but at least nothings on fire. Enjoys the challenge of planning ahead and creative problem solving.

Twilight - Gets way too invested in the little creatures. Creates a whole big ranch and makes the place really, really nice for his pets. His people are vegan and he lets his base starve to death because he can’t bring himself to eat his animals. But also mourns the loss of every one of his people. It’s a heartbreaking game for Twilight. He prefers games when he can pet the animals, not eat them.

Warriors - Base building isn’t his preferred genre but he gives it a try anyway. Aesthetics before anything is his playstyle. His base works well enough but he does surrender some efficiency to make it pretty. Dresses up all his little guys and gives them snazzy clothes. But he loses interest pretty fast and goes to bother Sky.

Hyrule - His base is a mess of hallways and ladders. No real central area because he just want to expand and see what’s out there. Is a real explorer. He ends up accidentally opening up his base to the cold vacuum of space and kills everyone.

Legend - Hates that he’s constantly running out of resources. If it’s not air then it’s water, and if it’s not water it’s food, and if it’s not food it’s space, and if it’s not space it’s fucking air again! He curses up a storm every time something goes wrong. Which is all the time.

Four - Spreadsheets. Lots and lots of spreadsheets. Sixty hours in and his base is ten miles long with a ridiculously convoluted yet effective HVAC system that abuses every game mechanic to be self sustaining. Runs on things like giving his base contaminated food to give them food poisoning to make them vomit so he can refine that vomit back into clean water to offset the moisture entropy. A monster of efficiency. Four loves building games where there are calculable data sets and realistic physics. Can and will play this game forever is no one stops him.

Wind - He streams it and names his colony members after viewers. Uses console commands to do crazy things like spawn in 100 colonists and summons meteor showers to spice things up. He’s pretty decent and he actually learns to to use the convoluted automation mechanics. Also mods. Lots and lots of mods.

Time - His base dies immediately. This old man never got more advanced than Pong and so when he is confronted with a game in which the density and weight of different gasses is important he can’t handle it. He accidentally digs down and his whole colony suffocates on carbon dioxide within 5 minutes. He puts the game down and never plays again.

Dark - Only plays for a bit before he stops. Even though it’s just simulation he doesn’t enjoy the strange sense of claustrophobia it gives him. He’ll happily watch Twi play it though.

Shadow - He logs into Fours game and disconnects one (1) wire somewhere in the base.

Carbon Audits & Zero-Carbon Offsetting: What UK Commercial Landlords Need to Know in 2025

Introduction

As the UK continues marching towards its 2050 net-zero emissions target, commercial landlords have more pressure on them to meet carbon reduction standards. While 2025 sees more stringent enforcement of the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) and SECR regulations, knowledge of the nitty-gritty of carbon auditing and zero-carbon offsetting is now more important than ever before. From GHG reporting to actionable EPC upgrades, things are moving quickly and visionary landlords are now paying for tools to get ahead.

Learning About Carbon Audits in the Commercial Arena

Carbon audits measure the environmental footprint of a building, calculating Scope 1, 2, and increasingly Scope 3 emissions. This is the baseline UK commercial landlords require to develop a carbon-reduction strategy. Considering all forms of HVAC energy consumption right through to lighting installation, a comprehensive audit identifies the highest-carbon hotspots of activity. These findings are the basis upon which to make future plans, enhance energy performance, and achieve MEES compliance in commercial Properties.

CCA Environmental, a UK consulting company, aids enterprises through the provision of in-depth energy surveys created with Dynamic Simulation Modelling EPC UK software, which supports accurate emissions prediction and scenario analysis. This is particularly helpful for landlords controlling intricate buildings that need precise Level 5 EPCs.

Carbon Audits & MEES Regulations: A Strategic Intersection

A Strategic Intersection MEES regulations for non-domestic properties now mandate minimum EPC ratings, which are increased to C by 2027 and B by 2030. Carbon audits, along with MEES-conformant EPC Plus reports, assist landlords in reaching these levels at an affordable cost. An EPC Plus report exceeds typical EPCs with affordable, building-specific recommendations for upgrading.

While the majority of property owners look for a "Level 5 EPC assessor near me," they ought to consult professionals who understand the relationship between carbon performance and legal energy objectives. CCA Environmental's Commercial EPC Level 5 specialists offer advice not only for compliance but also for sustained environmental performance and value creation.

The Role of Zero-Carbon Offsetting in EPC Upgrades

With best practice, even it is not possible to eliminate all carbon on-site. Where it is not the case, zero-carbon offsetting has its supplementary role. Verified offset schemes can be used by landlords to assist commercial buildings in achieving MEES requirements where physical improvement will be uncostable or insufficient by itself.

These offsets are especially well-fitted to historic or old buildings where intrusive improvements cannot be made. CCA Environmental advises landlords on assessing offsetting solutions under MEES exemptions and EPC upgrades—ensuring solutions are legal and effective.

Smart Metering & Energy Management Integration

As smart metering becomes a reality, commercial property advantages and benefits lie ahead. They increase real-time tracking, providing better forecasting and analysis of energy consumption. Leasing more precise data through smart technology allows landlords to input and calibrate more precise data into energy performance models—better carbon estimates and EPC ratings.

With smart data, CCA Environmental optimizes its EPC consultancy for MEES regulation. That translates into more precise reporting, more customized upgrade strategies, and less guesswork—a big win in the quest to comply with UK minimum energy efficiency standards EPC requirements.

SECR, CRREM & Long-Term Portfolio Strategy

Commercial property owners also have to consider SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting) and CRREM (Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor) regulations. Both are geared towards future-proofing and transparency based on fact-based carbon reduction strategies.

CCA Environmental assists customers in aligning carbon audit numbers with CRREM pathways so that properties continue at the levels of emission intensity. It prevents penalty and market underestimation as sustainability is becoming a leading asset class in commercial property.

Conclusion: Act Proactively

Zero-carbon offsetting and carbon audits are not just jargon terms; they are rapidly becoming standard weapons in the UK commercial landlord's toolkit. As 2025 approaches, the time for action is now. Whether you are in charge of one property or a national portfolio, effective carbon management can deliver significant cost and regulatory savings.

CCA Environmental is leading the charge with its specialist carbon audit services, analysis of EPC Plus reports, and tailored MEES consultancy. For those who are keen to combine environmental responsibility with business sustainability, the next step is then to collaborate with an experienced consultancy.

To future-proof your buildings and satisfy MEES requirements non-domestic properties need to adhere to, contact CCA Environmental now. Learn how strategically positioned carbon audits, smart metering, and zero-carbon offsetting will optimize the performance and compliance of your portfolio.

Safety Standards Followed by Leading Plate Heat Exchanger Manufacturers in Pune

In the evolving industrial landscape, safety is no longer just a checkbox—it’s a non-negotiable priority. This holds especially true in thermal system manufacturing, where heat, pressure, and complex engineering converge. Among the key players in this space, plate heat exchanger manufacturers in Pune have emerged as leaders, not just in innovation and performance, but also in following strict safety standards.

Pune, known for its robust engineering ecosystem, houses several reputable manufacturers that design and supply plate heat exchangers for industries like chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, HVAC, and more. What sets a trusted plate heat exchanger manufacturer in Pune apart is their unwavering commitment to safety across every stage—design, fabrication, assembly, testing, and delivery.

Let’s explore the various safety standards followed by the top manufacturers in Pune and how these practices contribute to long-term equipment reliability and user safety.

1. Compliance with International Design Codes

Every leading plate heat exchanger manufacturer in Pune adheres to globally recognized design codes such as ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), TEMA (Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association), and PED (Pressure Equipment Directive). These standards ensure that each heat exchanger can handle its intended pressure, temperature, and operating conditions without failure.

For manufacturers, following these codes isn't just about passing an inspection—it reflects engineering integrity. Pune-based manufacturers frequently invest in advanced design software and simulation tools that ensure every design meets these regulatory benchmarks with precision.

2. Material Safety and Traceability

Raw materials play a vital role in the performance and safety of a plate heat exchanger. Reliable plate heat exchanger manufacturers in Pune source certified materials with proper documentation, including chemical composition and mechanical properties.

High-grade stainless steel, titanium, and other corrosion-resistant alloys are used depending on the application. These manufacturers maintain full traceability, so if any issues arise post-installation, the specific material batch can be tracked and analyzed. This traceability is a cornerstone of ISO 9001 and other quality systems followed by Pune-based companies.

3. Pressure Testing and Leak-Proof Assurance

Before leaving the factory, every unit undergoes rigorous hydrostatic and pneumatic testing. These tests are done under pressure conditions that exceed actual operating parameters to ensure the system can withstand extreme conditions.

This is a routine but essential practice for any professional plate heat exchanger manufacturer in Pune. It prevents unexpected system failures, especially in industries like oil and gas or chemical processing where safety risks are higher.

4. Welding and Assembly Safety Protocols

Precision welding is critical to the performance of plate heat exchangers, especially in gasketed and brazed models. Pune manufacturers employ certified welders and follow welding standards such as ASME Section IX and ISO 9606. In addition, many manufacturers implement cleanroom conditions for final assembly, ensuring that no contaminants affect sealing surfaces.

By maintaining strict welding procedures, these companies reduce the risk of joint failures, leakage, or structural compromise—all of which can have serious safety consequences.

5. Regular Staff Training and Certification

Safety begins with the people on the shop floor. Top plate heat exchanger manufacturers in Pune ensure that every technician, engineer, and production worker is regularly trained on workplace safety, quality protocols, and handling of high-pressure components.

Many companies also participate in third-party audits and safety workshops to stay updated with evolving safety standards. Employee safety gear, SOPs for emergency handling, and regular mock drills are standard practices.

6. Environmental and Workplace Safety Compliance

Environmental safety is another area where Pune’s manufacturers excel. Compliance with local and international environmental norms ensures that no harmful by-products are released during manufacturing. Proper waste disposal, use of eco-friendly cleaning agents for plates, and energy-efficient processes all contribute to both worker and environmental safety.

Factories are routinely inspected for fire safety, electrical hazard prevention, and ventilation control. This not only safeguards workers but also ensures uninterrupted and clean production environments.

Conclusion

When selecting a plate heat exchanger manufacturer in Pune, safety should be one of your top evaluation criteria. From global design compliance to pressure testing, from material traceability to employee training—these manufacturers invest heavily in building safe, reliable, and high-performing products. Their dedication to maintaining world-class safety standards not only enhances the quality of the equipment but also ensures peace of mind for clients across various industries.

Choosing a manufacturer that prioritizes safety is not just a smart business decision—it’s a long-term investment in operational stability and human well-being.
