In response to an increased need for energy efficiency to meet climate targets, most new or recently retrofitted buildings are becoming more airtight to reduce heat loss. While...
High-performance building design requires a strong understanding of solar radiation, daylight penetration, and their impact on energy efficiency, HVAC loads, and occupant comfort....
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...
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...
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...
Late last year, IES ran a series of lecture-style sessions covering key analyses that can be undertaken using IESVE. With over 100 questions submitted across the sessions,...
An EU project has demonstrated the power of IESVE’s Parametric Simulation feature for efficient analysis and optimisation of building design choices to reduce energy consumption,...
Q&A with Kevin Truss, Senior Architectural Technologist at Coombes Everitt Architects We recently caught up with Kevin Truss, Senior Architectural Technologist at Coombes...
To reach net-zero, rethinking what we do with existing buildings is a non-negotiable. From simple operational optimisation interventions, to more in-depth retrofit upgrades and...
We’re delighted to announce this collaboration to bring Armstrong® Templok® Energy Saving Ceilings into the IES Virtual Environment (IESVE), our world-leading suite of...
Did you miss our Chief Operating Officer, Ruth Kerrigan, speaking at edie’s Net-Zero Carbon Action Sessions recently? You can now catch the session on demand. Now in its sixth...
EECO2 leverages IESVE's CFD application, MicroFlo-CFD, to demonstrate the potential for using lower air change rates as part of a dynamic ventilation control approach,...
When it comes to decarbonising existing buildings, even small changes can make a big impact. So, before you go rushing into building retrofits to “fix” a poorly performing...
Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of a brand new guide, exploring the vital role of energy models, data and dynamic simulation tools in improving the performance of...
As the global climate crisis intensifies, the performance of buildings has become a critical focus in efforts to reduce carbon emissions. The built environment currently accounts...
Green Loop, based in Bogota and Medelin in Colombia, and Miami in the US, is a multi-disciplinary consultancy that optimises the delivery of cost-efficient green building...
