Rapid expansion of bio-revolution into various sectors like agriculture, consumer goods, bio-services, bio-computing, bio-informatics, and bio-industry..

UPS), both in normal running (N+X) and failure scenarios (N) and to ensure optimal cooling distribution and equipment performance.By integrating CFD early in the design process we can explore design options available to improve optimisation from both an economic and carbon standpoint..

Embodied carbon for a recent DC project.. MEP systems, especially cooling and power distribution, account for a considerable proportion of a data centre’s embodied carbon.By leveraging CFD, we can effectively minimise this impact by optimising cooling efficiency.Structures contribute to approximately 10% of the overall embodied carbon on a DC project, making it important to explore options that enhance design sustainability through material reduction..

Examples of typical options we analyse to optimise the design:.Different equipment selections –.

We test different options to find a balance between cost, energy usage and performance.. Cooling unit positioning –.

Our analysis ensures an even distribution of cool air is provided to maximise cooling efficiency, in both normal and failure scenarios..Policies could change over a very short time.

Changes to market conditions, developer contributions, or the cost of land could impact the number, or location, of homes originally desired.Digitising planning would keep things much more reliable and up to date..

There would also be an opportunity to test more ideas before deciding which policy is the right one, and it’s hoped that by digitising the planning system we’ll also be able to do scenario testing.A brownfield site map could give a developer a much better sense of what they’re likely to get approved, enabling them to tweak their plans before they approach.
