To maximise the benefits of DfMA, plants must first be designed rationally and efficiently.Without a well-designed building, the DfMA approach will be applied to an inefficient design, diluting its benefits or even introducing costs and complexity..

Battery plants typically have extremely large footprints to accommodate the linear assembly process.However, requirements vary across different process stages.​•​ Early stages often involve vertical material transfer (e.g., wet chemicals).. ​•​ Later stages require significant ventilation, heat rejection, and cooling..

While designers may aim for uniformity across process areas, this can lead to inefficient and underutilised space.. Right-Sizing Battery Factory Designs.A more cost-effective approach is to 'shrink-wrap' the assembly process.

By mapping and right-sizing the spatial, environmental, and material transfer needs of each step, the building can be designed to precisely match its functional requirements.

This reduces capital costs, operational costs, and energy use..In summer, this means chillers will be operating at maximum capacity (often less efficient), and they may not be able to deliver the total cooling required.. To make the problem worse still, it’s recommended that recirculating cooling systems (fan coil units or passive chilled beams) are switched off in rooms that have limited fresh air, to limit the movement of airborne particles.

This would mean no comfort cooling in spaces such as offices in peak summer.And although this will give great energy savings, the wellbeing of occupants will suffer as rooms overheat.. How can we keep offices at a comfortable temperature?.

Keeping heat gains down in summer will help reduce the cooling load of the building, and give the cooling systems a fighting chance of keeping us at a comfortable temperature.Social distancing measures will help reduce internal heat gain, as there will be fewer people using fewer computers in each office.
