Improve your data centre environmental monitoring with impACT consultancy
What is impACT consultancy for data centres?
RED’s impACT consultancy is a specialised sustainability in construction service built for the complex demands of data centre engineering design and delivery. Unlike traditional environmental audits, impACT integrates sustainability strategy directly into MEP, ICT, and commissioning processes to ensure environmental targets are consistently met across every stage of the project lifecycle.
We apply the RIBA Plan of Work Green Overlay and BSRIA BG6 frameworks to provide a thorough environmental assessment throughout the entire project lifecycle.
As engineers as well as consultants, our consultancy identifies opportunities for sustainable building design and construction while maintaining the performance standards essential for mission-critical facilities.
The result is an environmental strategy that translates directly into engineering solutions, supported by the technical expertise to implement them effectively.
How we supported sustainable construction on the Global Business School project
In this progressive education facility development in Jeddah, RED delivered impACT consultancy services in line with the client's sustainability goals and Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 objectives. We designed an efficient 1200 TR chilled-water HVAC system with energy recovery, variable-speed drives, and grey water reuse. Our sustainability focus included energy optimisation and water conservation, helping create a forward-looking facility equipped for global student engagement.
