Examples of AI are often narrowly defined and only really touch a very specific part of the overall process; the part for which large data sets do exist.. ‘Generative design’ means many things, but generally it’s an approach used in the industry to solve complicated problems; you use generative design to create loads of possible solutions or scenarios, from which you choose the best..
The regulatory hurdles are not lessening.In fact, most believe they are tightening.
The energy efficiency of data centres (PUE) is being increasingly regulated, especially in the EU.In Germany, specific regulations about the use of recovered heat are coming into force.There is a great opportunity to use the recovered heat from DCs.
However, there are significant problems in exploiting this, and there are country and regional variations in how schemes can work..In northern Europe, there is a precedent in community heating schemes, whereas in the UK this has never been common.
There are no established bodies or groups who can or will take the responsibility for installing and running these schemes.
There are also operational and contractual issues to be overcome.. Clients of DCs want efficiency and reliability and are usually uninterested in wider operational considerations.When we are creating plans, we like to work in three dimensions from the very early part of the project.
Chips help speed up the process, because we can move chunks of the design around very quickly and keep data associated with them.We can do things like automate routing of certain utilities, based on the properties of the Chips.
And that enables us to try lots of different options in a short amount of time.As mentioned, this is a key element of our Design to Value approach, as it enables us to get closer to an optimum solution..
