Integrated Environmental Solutions Limited (IES) services

We offer a wide range of daylight and solar studies, encompassing everything from masterplan level exposure analysis through to optimising visual comfort. We can help you to explore the opportunities for daylight optimisation at the design stage, working with you right from concept using the latest in analysis technology to communicate, visually and statistically, the impact of design strategies. Our experts can provide Climate Based Daylight Modelling (CBDM) for LEED v4 and v4.1 and WELL to reveal the true daylight performance of your building.

High-performance design isn’t just about high levels of energy efficiency; it also equally concerns ensuring occupancy comfort both now and in the future. The introduction of energy efficiency improvement measures, such as thermal insulation, can exacerbate other risks and the most common of these is the risk of overheating.

We have experience of working on a vast number of worldwide projects varying in complexity and detail. Whether it is analysis for early stage masterplanning models, down to detailed single asset analysis, we have the capability to capture the geometry build under your focus. Our consultants can model external features such as detailed curved geometry, domes, organic shapes, wave forms, complex solar shading arrangements, lattices, stadia and more. We can exploit our OSM import capability to import surrounding buildings to fill the site with nearby buildings that may influence analysis. Our internal space arrangement modelling is limited only by the form you wish to assess which may include features such as atria, concourses, organic space arrangement and more.

Data centres are critical facilities housing the IT equipment and servers. The increasing computational requirements have necessitated the high energy density server and the higher demands of uptime mean the need for cooling solutions to keep the equipment running. Major application areas include mission critical facilities like high density computing clusters, IT equipment rooms, Telecom equipment rooms.

Our pedestrian comfort and wind microclimate services can help predict the annual effect of wind around your site on pedestrians when using external amenity spaces such as pavements, outdoor seating, gardens and other such green spaces. We can help you carry out detailed analysis of the site from conceptual stage to ensure that the design incorporates  the best wind mitigation features to minimise unwanted flow accelerations and ensure comfort and safety thresholds are met.  We can carry out a virtual wind tunnel analysis of the site, incorporating detailed terrain shape and surrounding buildings within the CFD model to provide the best representation of air flow around the site.
