Arup - Integrated Resource Modelling
Arup’s bespoke Integrated Resource Management (IRM) approach can be employed to support the development of, and evaluate, growth and design options for the project in terms of defined indicators and targets developed as part of the sustainability framework. The IRM model is essentially a systems analysis tool that adopts a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach and applies this to regional or town/city masterplans, or at the project-specific development level.
The application of the IRM to support the design, development and evaluation of masterplans, growth studies, etc has provided numerous benefits. The tool was developed in response to Arup’s recognition of the complexities of coordinating and integrating multidisciplinary inputs.
