Service Overview

​

Working side-by-side with facilities, operations, IT, real estate, and finance specialists, EYP MCF, Part of Ramboll professionals analyze a customer’s key business metrics and sustainability goals to develop innovative and sustainable engineering strategies, designs, and operational solutions.

EYP MCF, Part of Ramboll provides these services from the master planning, through the concept, detailed design and prototyping of both new building(s); to a more water and energy-efficient solution for existing facility(ies).  Our team continues through all the subsequent design phases leading to stamped/sealed construction documents and permitting suitable for bid, or a CM-generated GMP.  At the conclusion of design, EYP MCF, Part of Ramboll continues into the construction administration phase for oversight of design intent, and potential value engineering opportunities. Our independent commissioning team assures all systems are complete and functioning properly upon the owner’s acceptance.  They will review and verify documentation, like test reports and as-built drawings, reflect the completed systems as they perform.  They further formalize and orchestrate the familiarization and training of operating personnel with this new building infrastructure. This end-to-end approach ultimately assures our clients their mission-critical project is built in accordance with the design intent.

​

In existing buildings, we begin by providing a site survey of the existing facility to uncover the opportunities and challenges inherent to offering an energy and/or water-efficient approach.  From there, we focus our service on not only the most sustainable option, but also the most more operationally straightforward and effective approach. 

Our highly qualified and credentialed team is actively involved with organizations and committees currently developing standards for LEED, Fitwel, Living Building Challenge, and ASHRAE 189.1 Standard for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings. We have successfully completed projects incorporating client-specific sustainability requirements including UFC 1-200-02 High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements while utilizing a range of tools that analyze building performance to develop practical solutions that uncover the hidden value in your assets. These include:

• Building Energy Modeling to reduce your energy profile and operating costs

• BLCC to evaluate first cost over life cycle cost

• THERM and WUFI analysis to improve thermal comfort

• Daylighting studies to ensure health and well-being

• RELi principles to build resilient infrastructures

• Embodied carbon analysis to manage the climatic impact

• Plan for Net Zero using every tool we’ve got. If we don’t have the right on, we’ll develop it!

Whether it’s new construction or renovation, sustainability is a mindset that must be planned and designed into a project right from the start. Our approach is to bake these ideas it into the process from day one. We apply sustainability tools and thinking from the start, as an integral part of our consulting and design service, not as an overlay or additional service offering, but as core to our practice. This approach enables us to have conversations about how to orient the building to maximize daylight and minimize heating and cooling; what are the most cost-effective and energy-efficient materials to promote wellness; or how to add value by doing more with less and making choices with multiple, inherent impacts. We bring our knowledge, coupled with the right data to think creatively and push boundaries with real-time, immediate parametric feedback.

How can we help?

​

EYP MCF, Part of Ramboll ’s experience includes 20+ LEED Certified projects (including the world’s very first LEED-certified data center, and multiple LEED Platinum Certified Data Centers) in different regions, including North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. Our consultants are accredited to the highest LEED standards and have participated in creating new standards and metrics for organizations like the US Green Building Council, Energy Star, ASHRAE, and the Green Grid Group.  These professionals were also integral to the development of the new metric: Infrastructure Usage Effectiveness (IUE) proposed last year by the Chinese efficiency body: The Green Gauge China
(TGCC).

​

This year, EYP MCF, Part of Ramboll announced a collaboration with our global partner i3 Solutions Group to offer a response to the climate crisis through Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction initiatives, including a practical roadmap of progressive GHG abatement for existing data centers and critical facilities, and eventually net-zero GHG data centers and critical facilities by 2030.

EYP MCF, Part of Ramboll is also advancing projects designed for alternative sources of power, microgrids, and new cooling technologies (Including evaporated cooling and immersion cooling). Rounding out EYP MCF, Part of Ramboll ’s commitment to sustainability, our operations consulting team offers a comprehensive list of services that help reduce power consumption, water usage and curb operational and energy costs in the data center/critical facility.
