IES for Data Centres

Decarbonise, improve power usage effectiveness (PUE) and drive down energy costs

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

Case Studies
