IES Ltd.

As respective leaders in building performance simulation and visualization technologies, IES and Chaos have joined forces to produce a new whitepaper, highlighting the significance of early-stage analysis in optimising building performance across the lifecycle of any building 🏢♻   This whitepaper explores the importance of incorporating energy modelling from the earliest design phases, as part of a whole-life building performance approach, to ensure buildings meet high performance and efficiency standards throughout their lifecycle ✅🚀    📥 Download your free copy of Designing for Impact: Enhancing Building Performance Through Early-Stage Analysis: https://bit.ly/47fNQKE   #BuiltEnvironment #Decarbonisation #EnergyEfficiency #NetZero #BuildingPerformance #BuildingDesign 

📢 New IESVE Passivent Tool Event – Only One Week To Go! Join experts from IES and Passivent for a free webinar on Wednesday, 11th September, to explore our new VE Navigator and how Passivent products can be embedded within your design to help create better educational buildings and healthier spaces. The Webinar will include: ✅ Live Demo: Learn how to integrate Passivent products into your models using an example school design. ✅ Compliance & Simulation: Learn how to update the model for BB101: 2018 compliance, and how the same VE model can be used to assess CIBSE TM52. ✅ Product Preview: Preview new Passivent products coming to VE throughout 2024. 🔗 Sign up here: https://bit.ly/3WOkVK1 #IESVE #Passivent #BuildingDesign #Sustainability

🚨 TWO DAYS TO GO! Last chance to sign up for our free webinar on Defining the Digital Twin: Construction’s Powerful + Misunderstood Technology 🚨 We’re partnering with The B1M for this special live discussion where experts from across the sector will tackle the important question of what constitutes a Digital Twin, and, fundamentally, what does not. The event will be hosted by The B1M's Fred Mills and will feature a fantastic line-up of speakers including: ✔ Richard Fletcher – Executive Board Director, IES Ltd. ✔ Emma Hooper – Head of Information Management Strategy, Rider Levett Bucknall RLB ✔ Dan Rossiter FCIAT – Built Environment Sector Lead, BSI ✔ Michael Keeley – Associate Director, Digital, Turner & Townsend 🗓 Thursday 5th September, 4pm BST 👉 Register to secure your place: https://bit.ly/3AgRQy3

🌟 New #IESVE 2024 Feature: The Central Plant Heat Pump (CPHP), can now use a Heat Transfer Loop (HTL) as a heat source or sink, when it’s configured in water-to-water mode. 🌟 When configured correctly, the permutations for these systems are vast, and will allow the simulation of a multitude of modern decarbonisation strategies, designed to maximise the recycling of heat within a building, before needing to acquire or reject it to an external energy reservoir. ▶ Want to find out more?

💡 We are excited to share that IES has joined forces with the UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) and several partner organisations to spearhead a new project initiative, centred around optimising operational building performance. The Operational Building Optimisation Action Learning Labs, part of the UKGBC’s Advancing Net Zero (ANZ) programme, aim to address the critical challenges and solutions needed to reduce and eliminate inefficiencies in building operation, and significantly drive down energy consumption.
