📊How do you future-proof building performance while achieving BREEAM Excellent?

🏢 The Rhodium Office Building in Budapest demonstrates how integrated energy modelling can deliver robust, real-world outcomes. IES Consultants supported ML2S Sustainable Solutions by using to achieve credits across energy, thermal comfort, daylighting, and passive design, to secure a Excellent rating.

✅ Detailed ApacheHVAC simulation confirmed a base-case energy performance of 79.2 kWh/m²
✅ Thermal comfort validated against both current and future climate scenarios
✅ Multiple resilience scenarios tested to assess performance under real-world operating conditions
✅ A single model gained BREEAM credits across 4 categories, including ENE01, ENE04, HEA01, and HEA04

This project highlights the value of using a single simulation environment to reduce risk, improve consistency, and provide clear evidence for certification and design decisions. With the confidence that improvements in one area do not compromise performance in another.

🤖 Designing resilient data centres in the age of AI?

As AI workloads drive unprecedented increases in thermal and electrical demand, traditional cooling strategies are being pushed to their limits. ⚡❄️

From liquid cooling and direct-to-chip technologies to hybrid approaches, choosing the right solution has never been more critical.

Our latest blog explores how whole-facility modelling is helping data centre owners and design teams de-risk high-performance facilities in the era of AI-driven infrastructure.

✅ Evaluate cooling strategies against real-world climate conditions
✅ Reduce operational risk and improve resilience
✅ Optimise energy, water use, and capital investment
✅ Validate performance before design decisions are locked in

🤔 Still relying on traditional load calculation workflows for code compliance?

As ASHRAE Standard 183 becomes embedded in energy codes across the U.S., meeting HVAC load calculation requirements is becoming more complex than many engineers realise. Legacy approaches that rely on simplified room definitions and conservative assumptions can introduce compliance risks, particularly in modern high-performance buildings. 📐🏢

Our latest blog explores why accurate load calculations now depend on a deeper representation of building physics, and how the ASHRAE Heat Balance Method supports code-compliant HVAC design.

✅ Understand the implications of ASHRAE Standard 183 requirements
✅ See why 3D geometry is critical for accurate solar gain calculations
✅ Reduce compliance risk and manual modelling effort
✅ Improve equipment sizing accuracy and design confidence
✅ Deliver more reliable outcomes for clients and code reviewers

🌡️ Cooling Buildings or Solving Overheating?

As UK temperatures continue to rise, many buildings are relying on air conditioning to maintain comfort. But for energy modelling teams, the bigger question is: are we solving the root cause, or simply masking the symptoms?

Much of the UK’s existing building stock was designed for a climate that no longer exists. Air conditioning might feel like the logical response, but mass reliance on mechanical cooling turns an adaptation problem into an energy, cost and carbon one.
The more durable route is retrofit. Performance modelling helps energy teams identify smarter retrofit strategies before investing in air conditioning.

💡 The UK doesn't need every overheated building fitted with air conditioning. It needs buildings that are designed, retrofitted and operated to stay comfortable in a hotter climate, as well as the data to make better decisions about how to get there.

📖 Wheatley considers this in his latest blog. https://bit.ly/4eNFyOt

💡 Could your buildings be hiding significant energy savings?

📊 Queen Margaret University partnered with IES to identify potential annual savings of approximately £64,000 (around 11% of energy spend) through low and no-capex operational improvements, using IES Live, our cloud-based building performance and energy management platform.

By combining real-time BMS data with a live digital twin, IES helped uncover hidden inefficiencies, reduce energy waste, and build a roadmap for long-term decarbonisation.
✅ £14k/year from boiler optimisation
✅ £30k/year from better use of free cooling
✅ Additional savings through improved controls and scheduling
