We start out by discussing with our client in more detail what the fundamental problem is that they are facing.

We may witness the emergence of two distinct data centre topologies: the energy-efficient approach versus the high-density model, or perhaps a hybrid combination of both.These design choices will significantly impact heat rejection systems and other critical aspects, such as IT infrastructure development..

While the industry strives to reduce PUE in data centres, sustainability efforts should also focus on minimising process water consumption during adiabatic cooling.Cooling towers, which consume substantial amounts of water year-round, may eventually be phased out or replaced with hybrid systems that prioritise dry cooling methods or utilise HDAC units.. By embracing these trends, data centres can enhance efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and pave the way for a more sustainable future in the ever-evolving landscape of IT infrastructure..

At Bryden Wood, we leverage our clients’ knowledge and data to create sophisticated digital simulations early in the design process.Victorian-style gallery blocks with a warden’s desk at one end have been abandoned in favour of a staff station placed more centrally, in a way that encourages interaction rather than observation.. Main, central functions like dining, exercise equipment and access to medical care have been broken up and placed in each house block.

Each block can contain a kitchen for communal cooking, classrooms, cardio gym equipment, a medicine point and laundry services, to create an environment more conducive to rehabilitation..The prisons are designed with the ability to fine-tune security.

The design allows operators the flexibility to use different houseblocks to ‘upgrade’ and ‘downgrade’ security as needed,to accommodate prisoners with different needs.. Current status.The first prison to adopt these design principles is the 1,680 place prison, HMP Five Wells, on the site of the former HMP Wellingborough, due for completion in 2021..
