Conducting a design review and optimising the MEP systems for the Nova factory, which includes an admin building and a production area equipped with sheet metalworking equipment.
Focusing on the specific requirements of the Laser machine room within the production area, which necessitated specialised air conditioning, ventilation, and exhaust air systems.
Studying the operation of the laser machine to calculate the required ventilation for maintaining indoor air quality within acceptable ranges to ensure worker safety.
Employing the design thinking process to approach the project, as follows:
Empathise: Understanding the challenges faced by the owner and the implications on different areas.
Define the Problem: Conducting a workshop with the manufacturing machine supplier, project owner, and consultant to clearly define the requirements of the machine room and design accordingly.
Ideate: Designing a solution for the room, iterating on the design and machine selection to achieve the most suitable and financially feasible solution.
Prototype and Test: Delivering the solution to the site and collaborating with the supplier to test it thoroughly.
