Data Centre Decarbonisation & Performance
High-density computing demands precision, reliability and constant cooling — but it also carries one of the heaviest energy footprints in the built environment.
Building Performance Solutions helps data centres monitor, model and optimise performance in real time — unlocking measurable savings in energy, carbon and cost.
Digital Twin for Critical Infrastructure
A Live Digital Twin for Total Operational Insight
BPS builds engineering-grade digital twins of data halls and supporting systems, powered by IES Live’s dynamic simulation engine. The model mirrors temperature, airflow and electrical load in real time, and connects seamlessly to metered and sensor data via iSCAN.
This integration gives operators full visibility into how building systems and IT loads interact — turning raw data into a living performance record that informs both day-to-day operations and long-term investment decisions.
Key Benefits:
-
Real-time insight into temperature, airflow, and power usage
-
Verified data foundation for performance tracking
-
Informed decision-making across the data centre lifecycle
Operational Excellence Through Insight
From Monitoring to Meaningful Action
Our analytics go beyond simple monitoring dashboards.
Using advanced diagnostics, we identify out-of-range sensors, airflow inefficiencies, and control strategies that quietly erode performance.
With virtual testing inside the digital twin, we can quantify the impact of operational changes — from CRAC scheduling to liquid cooling integration — before they’re made.
The result: reliable uptime, leaner operations, and predictable returns on capital projects.
Key Benefits:
-
Detect performance issues early
-
Test and validate operational strategies virtually
-
Improve system reliability and energy efficiency
Energy & Carbon Optimisation
Evidence-Based Pathways to Net Zero
Data centres sit at the frontier of the energy transition.
Using IES Live, we simulate retrofit and renewable integration options to model their impact on annual energy use, cost, and carbon emissions.
This delivers a quantified roadmap to achieve sustainability targets — without compromising operational resilience.
Key Benefits:
-
Evaluate retrofit and renewable strategies
-
Model impact on energy, cost, and emissions
-
Build a verified pathway toward Net Zero
Continuous Verification
& Reporting
Track, Verify and Report — Continuously
With iSCAN’s ongoing data capture and IES Live’s performance dashboards, BPS enables continuous verification of metrics such as PUE, CUE, DCiE, and CCF.
Clients gain a single, auditable view of real-time performance, aligned with ESG frameworks and compliance standards.
The same data foundation supports future optimisation and long-term decarbonisation planning.
Key Benefits:
-
Continuous verification of key performance metrics
-
ESG-aligned reporting for transparency and compliance
-
Data-driven foundation for ongoing optimisation
