Apple's Plans for 2025

PRiSM doesn’t aim to displace any existing software, tools or workflows.

Things are scaled up and down from the size of a human.Houses and buildings are sized to wrap around humans and floor heights set to allow humans to walk upright.

The first factories were simply extensions on houses and the machines and equipment were generally sized to fit into slightly large rooms.Of course, technology has pushed these boundaries to some degree and there are now large process plants like refineries or mega-factories..The railway system of the world is scaled around the size of a horse and cart as that was the predominant transport technology when they came into existence.. Moving down in scale, we scale craft and industrial laboratory equipment so that humans can interact with it using their hands.. Evolution is an excellent process to improve and adapt size and function to meet the demands of survival.

Its downside for humans is that in the context of the human lifespan it is very slow.We do not have the luxury of a million years to size our factories.

However, neither should we now be constrained by the size of a human, a building or by the relatively recent economic dogma..

I don’t think we can credibly argue that capitalism has not been a key enabler in the rapid technological advancements of the last two to three hundred years.This means that for certain types of residential buildings, it is possible to achieve net zero operational carbon without the need for a PPA.

For non-residential buildings however a PPA is still necessary.Due to low energy demand, any price increases associated with PPA or offsetting, achieving net zero carbon becomes affordable..

This is in contrast to a UK Part L1a compliant building, which in order to become net zero would require a PV array larger than the area available on its roof.The difficulty in installing adequate PV on multi residential developments will be even greater.
