New environmental tool
Published:  01 February, 2007

Portakabin subsidiary, Yorkon – winner of the Innovator of the Year award – has achieved another industry first by becoming the first off-site construction specialist to introduce a new and advanced software system to carry out a detailed environmental assessment of every new Yorkon building.

The value management tool will allow Yorkon to produce the most sustainable solution for each modular building project, using fast, efficient, comprehensive and fully integrated building simulation analysis.

The initiative is the result of an 18-month research and development programme, and is part of Yorkon’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and to delivering more energy efficient education buildings with lower carbon emissions and reduced running costs.

Schools, local authorities and universities now have the opportunity to benefit from detailed analysis at the earliest stage in the design process, to assess the impact of specification decisions on capital cost, energy consumption, carbon emissions and running costs, over the life cycle of a building.
