A new dimension for data centres
Virtual Reality technology is revolutionising how data centres are designed . Unlike traditional 3D reviews , VR provides an immersive rendering of design models generated through the Autodesk ecosystem . This allows stakeholders to visualise and experience the intricacies of data centre designs , allowing them to identify potential issues in the early stages of design .
These issues may include clashes between services from different disciplines or limited space to access equipment for maintenance and replacement .
By identifying these issues early on , a well-coordinated design phase can prevent problems during construction , commissioning and operation , such as change orders , added material costs and project delays .
In the case of data centres , the virtual assessment of operating procedures can minimise the risk
of extended downtime or maintenance issues once the facility is operational .
In addition , using VR technology can help in using materials more effectively and promoting sustainability . Designers can optimise layouts to minimise material wastage , select eco-friendly materials and apply energy-efficient solutions .
Additionally , the travel required to coordinate and review designs together is minimised if everyone can remotely inspect models at .
This aligns with current environmental objectives and reduces the carbon footprint of data centre operations .
Ultimately , leading to substantial time and cost savings for the client .
