⚡ The Biggest Risks in Data Centre Delivery ⚡

With global data centre energy demand set to double to around 945 TWh by 2030, and grid connection delays stretching 7–10+ years across Europe, the pressure to de-risk projects has never been higher. Planning uncertainty, grid constraints, and environmental approvals are now stalling or derailing projects before construction even begins.

Dynamic, whole-facility simulation provides the clarity needed to turn uncertainty into actionable insight across planning, design and operation:
✅ Test energy, cooling & design strategies before build
✅ Evidence real-world performance under real climate conditions
✅ De-risk planning approvals and grid connection strategies
✅ Make faster, more informed investment decisions

💡 We’ve answered the top 10 questions from engineers worldwide.

As energy standards tighten, accurately modelling thermal bridging is no longer optional. It’s essential for compliance, performance and design confidence.
We’ve answered the top 10 questions from our recent webinar in this expert Q&A.

✅ Psi & Chi values — where do they come from?
✅ Avoiding double counting
✅ Compliance with Part L, SBEM, ASHRAE & more
✅ Using results beyond energy modelling

The shift is clear: it’s no longer if thermal bridging matter - it’s how well you model it.

Data centres are on course to consume a tenth of the world's power by 2050, and the pressure on the UK grid is already being felt.

IES' Colin Rees features in today's City AM piece on the growing tension between AI infrastructure demand and clean energy targets, making the case for transparency and independent verification of data centre carbon and energy claims.

If you're thinking about how to approach data centre energy performance and carbon reporting, this is a conversation worth having.

Colin and Richard Tibenham are at Data Centre LIVE in London this week - if you'd like to connect and arrange time with them, drop a comment below or send a direct message.

🌎 LEED v5 Explained: What Energy Modelling Teams Need to Know

LEED v5 raises the bar on performance — and energy modelling now plays a critical role in demonstrating compliance. If your team already works with LEED v4.1, the challenge has shifted from whether to model to how to use modelling evidence strategically to inform decisions, document outcomes, and reduce submission risk.

🎤 Join @ Tristan Truyens of IES and Carrizo of for a free live webinar focused on what LEED v5 means in practice for energy modelling teams working across North America.

✅ Key differences between LEED v4.1 and LEED v5
✅ Which LEED v5 credits rely on modelling — and what data is required
✅ Real-world LEED v5 case studies
✅ Real-world project achieving LEED v4 Gold, with maximum energy points using IESVE

📅 Thursday, June 4 | 3pm EDT

⚡Creating High Performing Data Centres: Faster Evidence Earlier in the Process is Now Essential ⚡

Compressed delivery timelines and rising AI-driven demand are changing how data centres must be designed. Early, evidence‑based performance assessment is no longer optional—it’s essential.

In this blog, Adam Szczecinski, Building Services UK Lead at PM Group, shares first‑hand insights on how early evidence can de‑risk your next data centre project. He explores how early-stage modelling helps teams make confident investment decisions, de‑risk cooling strategies, and meet tightening efficiency and sustainability targets.

With increasing scrutiny on PuE, water usage, heat reuse and AI‑driven high‑density loads, this perspective is essential reading for anyone shaping the next generation of data centre infrastructure.

🚨 7 ASHRAE Standard 183 Requirements Your HVAC Workflow Must Meet - a must-read for mechanical engineers designing commercial HVAC systems in the US.

ASHRAE Standard 183 is now adopted into energy codes across most U.S. states via ASHRAE 90.1 and the IECC. That means it's no longer a best practice guideline - it's enforceable law.

⚠️ But here's the issue: most legacy load calculation tools aren't structurally capable of meeting its requirements without significant manual workarounds.

In our latest blog, we break down:
✅ The 7 key requirements Standard 183 places on your workflow
✅ Why hourly solar radiation across all interior room surfaces matters for compliance
✅ Why the Heat Balance Method is becoming the standard for defensible HVAC design

If your firm is still using tools built around older methods, now is the time to understand what's changed.
