Graham’s ability to balance the services requirements with the design requirements of his architectural and structural counterparts ensures a well-considered and functional end product.Mauro joined Bryden Wood in 2013, after four years of post-graduate experience in Italy delivering mainly residential and hospitality projects.. His background in residential design found its natural expression in a major mixed-use residential scheme with more than 15,000 homes, after a period focusing on the extensions of three London schools..

Through this comprehensive analysis, we can evaluate the performance of both the data hall and chilled water system at every stage of the outage and subsequent restart, thereby validating the resilience of the design and providing a level of assurance..This analysis allows for the optimisation of design elements, such as UPS, to ensure inclusion only where necessary, leading to significant cost savings and a reduction in embodied carbon.

Accurate determination of buffer vessel sizing through this analysis helps prevent oversizing, thereby saving costs and plant space, and minimising the need for structural reinforcement..The optimisation of the chilled water system design ensures even distribution throughout the data hall.This optimisation process is crucial, as it prevents the tendency to oversize equipment or specify unnecessary components to meet resilience requirements, providing assurance that the building will meet requirements and allowing for greater potential for economic and carbon cost savings..

As the demand for data centre capacity continues to grow and challenges in electrical supply capacity become more pronounced alongside regulatory pressures, there is an increasing need for data centre designs to be optimised..The integration of CFD into the early design process empowers stakeholders to push boundaries, optimise performance, and embrace sustainable practices, all whilst ensuring the functionality and resilience that is so crucial to the performance of these buildings..

sustainable designIn this video, Bryden Wood co-founder,.So the more data centre capacity you can fit onto your site, the more IT yield per square metre you will get, and the lower your cost per kW will be.. As data centre designers, we must aim to maximise the site yield.

Here’s how we can do this:.It is not uncommon for permitted development on data centre sites to be limited to around 20 metres .

A typical hyperscale data centre design, with the racks, then space for cabling and power, then a ceiling void and structure, will have a storey-to-storey height of often of seven or eight metres, and sometimes more.In other words, you can have two floors for data halls in a 20 metre planning envelope.. A fundamental reassessment of the integration of cooling systems and structure, and optimised M&E services zones through close coupling of electrical and mechanical systems will yield geometric reductions that can reduce floor to floor height.
