Last year IES and Passivent partnered to allow users to quickly assign and analyse the effect of Passivent Roof Ventilation Terminals within their buildings. In the first release,...
A clear majority (59.5%) of surveyed built environment professionals have identified collaboration across public and private sectors as critical in effectively addressing the...
Are the days of traditional BMS and energy management systems over? Energy managers, facilities managers and sustainability leaders have a new opportunity to take: move beyond...
The VE offers a simple workflow to use an existing 3D model of the real building, to create the actual building for UK Part L compliance. The VE will then link to the selected...
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has long been a critical tool for optimizing airflow, heat transfer, and thermal comfort in buildings. Traditionally, implementing CFD analysis...
IES R&D is excited to be working on a ground-breaking EU funded project that looks set to transform the future of district heating and cooling (DHC) networks across...
We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Christy Martell as Senior Vice President of Revenue for North America at IES. This key hire marks an exciting step forward in...
IESVE allows users to analyse airflow in detail. Being able to apply boundary conditions generated by a dynamic simulation from an existing model, can speed this up. This VE Tech...

There are two options available for modeling the performance of evaporative cooling technology: Direct, and/or Indirect Direct vs indirect evaporative cooling...
Have you ever stepped into a building that felt freezing in the summer or overheated in the winter, despite a seemingly sophisticated HVAC system? More often than not, this stems...
Nearly three-quarters of UK senior built environment professionals believe achieving a net zero built environment by 2050 is within reach. A recent survey we conducted as part of...
Geometry is one of the foundations of any building performance simulation. It defines how heat moves through a space, how sunlight enters a building, and how HVAC loads are...
The VE makes it easy to simulate seasonal foliage variation in accordance with BR209 Appendix G. It is necessary to read Appendix G for the rules on obstructions such as trees and...
