Lifetime Digital Assets for Data Centre Portfolio Management

With data centres acting as the cornerstone of high value mission critical infrastructure across the globe, owners and operators need to maintain strict environmental conditions to prevent overheating of the systems. Providing a clear view of your entire centre portfolio, our Digital Twins deliver the management level information required to create optimal performance conditions whilst driving down operational and capital costs, and derisking investment decisions.

Improve Power Usage Effectiveness

De-risk Capital Investment

Lower Operational Energy Costs

Effectively Cool Spaces

Energy Cost Reduction

Identify which data centres are operating inefficiently across your portfolio and where improvements can be made to improve power usage effectiveness (PUE) and drive down costs.

  • Baseline and benchmark operational energy and carbon emissions
  • Model your Net-Zero Carbon (NZC) pathway
  • Identify zero/low-cost controls interventions
  • Carry out energy audits to drive energy cost reduction and carbon emission mitigation

Retrofit Optioneering with Energy Modelling

Different retrofit options can be tested through energy modelling to understand how to deliver the most-cost effective route to decarbonisation, whilst ensuring stringent internal environmental conditions are met.

  • Target and de-risk capital investment with maximum environmental impact
  • Act as a virtual testbed for simulating retrofit and on-site renewable scenarios
  • Simulate the potential for waste heat recovery and reuse
  • Creates lifelong digital asset that can be leveraged for ongoing performance optimisation and future projects

Develop Effective Decarbonisation Plans

Our digital twin solutions can help to formulate and refine decarbonisation strategies across your portfolio.

  • Save 20-70% on operational energy costs
  • Balance high energy loads with net-zero targets, operational costs and capital expenditure
  • Analyse and understand impact and benefit of potential local energy production
  • Meet highest energy standards (such as LEED)

Ongoing Operational Monitoring and Verification

Overloaded with data but struggling to access the information you really need? IES Live can provide a single pane view of all your building and system data, giving you key energy, carbon and cost feedback.

  • Put the power in the hands of your energy/facilities teams with a single pane view across all your data
  • Compare predicted savings against actual building performance
  • Accurate simulated baseline to track progress against
  • Verify energy, cost & carbon savings from implemented improvement measures

CFD Modelling for Data Centres

Our CFD modelling allows you to develop effective cooling solutions to keep critical facilities running. This includes:

  • Ability to model high density computing clusters, IT equipment rooms, and Telecom equipment rooms
  • Verification of a cooling system design
  • Checking for hot spots and short circuits of air flow
  • Providing detailed reports relating to air flow and temperature patterns
  • CRAC failure analysis

Reduce Operational Costs

Mitigate the impact of rising energy prices with tools to monitor and investigate operational performance across your portfolio. Identify where inefficiencies lie and where improvements are best made to lower energy consumption and drive down costs.

  • Ensure your buildings reach the highest possible asset values
  • Optimise energy performance while safeguarding health and wellbeing credentials
  • Put the power in the hands of your energy/facilities team with a single pane view across all building data
  • Stop operational drift and achieve a minimum 10% savings on operational costs
  • Encourage behaviour change and communicate improvements to staff through interactive displays

Divest from Fossil Fuels

Accelerate the transition to a clean energy future. Our digital twin tools can help identify new ways to meet energy demands across your portfolio and cut reliance on carbon intensive and increasingly finite fossil fuels.

  • Move away from high-carbon sources of energy through electrification of your heating and cooling needs
  • Reduce reliance on the grid and improve energy resilience through renewable energy generation and storage
  • Reduce energy costs by sharing heating, cooling and power across your site
  • Integrate Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations and demand optimisation solutions
  • Understand the complex interactions within and between your buildings and energy networks so you can make informed decisions
  • Save on carbon taxes

Employee Productivity

In a typical organisation, where 90% of typical overheads are spent on human capital, even minor productivity improvements, supported by your digital twin, can substantially impact company turnover and profit.

  • Improve indoor air quality to unlock productivity improvements of 8-11%
  • Create healthy places to work and encourage staff back post COVID
  • Generate up to $7,500 in productivity gains per person per year through enhanced ventilation
  • Retrofit to high level green building certifications (e.g. LEED Platinum) and achieve up to a 30% drop in sick building syndrome
  • Encourage staff wellbeing through local connectivity and active transport provision

Net Zero Compliance

Our digital twin technology can help you comply with local legislation and policies across the U.S.

Helping with Local Law compliance

To help with meeting emissions limits for Local Law 97, compiling energy benchmarking reports and energy audits for Local Law 84 and 87, or improving a building's Energy Star Score in line with Local Law 95, our digital twin building analytics software can help:

  • Identify retrofit or retrocommissioning opportunities for improved energy efficiency
  • Automate energy data collection and analysis for energy audits
  • Carry out performance benchmarking against similar buildings
  • Monitor progress towards net zero carbon over time by tracking emissions

Reducing emissions for commercial buildings

With buildings accounting for nearly 70% of greenhouse gas emissions in Boston, BERDO (the Building Emissions Reduction and Disclosure Ordinance) has been introduced to reduce all building emissions to net zero by 2050. Our digital twins can help you report and reduce your building energy usage by:

  • Adpoting energy optimisation programs by using real-time metering and IES' APACHE software to optimise energy flows throughout the building
  • Highlighting retrofit opportunities to increase energy efficiency
  • Developing a facility energy master plan to monitor energy use reduction
  • Verification of energy use readings through automated data collection

Green Building energy services

Aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050, Denver has implemented both its Green Building Ordinance (GBO) and its Energize Denver Benchmarking Ordinance. IES' digital twin software can be used to help you:

  • Establish which green building requirements are most effective for improving energy use intensity (EUI)
  • Identify energy efficiency opportunities to achieve green building certifications
  • Collect and verify energy data required for benchmarking
  • De-risk potential renewable energy options, such as onsite solar panels or offsite energy purchases

Decarbonisation planning on the road to net zero

Adopted in 2013, the Seattle Climate Action Plan aims to bring greenhouse gas emissions in the city to net zero by 2050. To meet this target, the Seattle Buildings Tune Up Ordinance and the Energy Benchmarking Law were both introduced. IES' range of digital twin tools can help you on the road to net zero through:

  • Developing energy master plans focusing on low carbon solutions
  • Analysing energy data collected from smart meters for energy audits
  • Exploring retrofit or retrocommissioning plans by highlighting emissions-reduction benefits
  • Highlighting areas of energy use and wastage through benchmarking
