Integrated Energy Network Design & Analysis Tool

Benchmark energy and resource use for new and existing developments to predict and optimise operational performance.

The iVN is a network modelling tool designed to perform "as-is" and future scenario simulations of a community's distribution networks. Model, integrate and optimise their design and management across electricity, heating, cooling and waste heat.

Features and Benefits

Quickly and easily create a virtual design model of any energy network.

Import from a library of 15 typical smart grid installations.

Link together multiple network types to analyse how they dynamically integrate.

Track energy flow, identify waste, and maximise value of network assets.

Perform ‘as is’ analysis and future scenario ‘what if’ simulations.

Physics based weather driven models.

Quickly Generate Building Demand Data

Often the critical missing data piece is "building energy demand". There are 3 ways to quickly and easily generate this data for the iVN.

Use the Energy Simulation feature in the iVN Simulation Hub.
Import data from IES's operational managment and analysis tool, iSCAN.
Import data from IES's masterplanning and urban design tool, iCD.

Case Studies

Explore how leading innovators like you are harnessing the power of iVN with our interconnected ICL platform.

Dundalk Institute of Technology

With the overarching aim of achieving a Net Zero Energy Campus, IES worked with DKIT to virtually model and analyse their distributed electricity network.

Galliera Hospital Campus

This project focused on performance optimisation of the site at a Masterplanning level, and on the integration of renewable technologies into the Campus energy network system.

What our Customers Say

“Acting as a demo site for the project, the iVN has already delivered very interesting and useful information which as the final results come through will greatly benefit the community by enabling domestic and community electrical storage to be planned. The whole project has generated great enthusiasm with the local community.”
