💡Our latest VE Tech Tip explores how new thermal bridging features in IESVE add to existing features to deliver comprehensive analysis options that quickly assess their impact so designers can easily test scenarios to meet and comply with tighter energy and overheating design targets.

Based on key international standards and guides, and powered by enhancements to IES’s APACHE engine, the new options streamline compliance with global codes, eliminating manual data entry and incorporating automation to simplify and speed up your workflows.

This VE Tech Tip explores how to use:
✔️ Clear field or repeating transmittances (construction layers)
✔️ Linear non-repeating transmittances - simple method (coefficient)
✔️ Linear non-repeating transmittances - detailed method (Psi (Ψ) values)
✔️ Random transmittances - area, linear, point - detailed method (Chi values)

We also review the new visualisation and reporting tools provided to support impactful analysis and clear communication of bridging impacts with clients and other teams. Covering breakdowns of conduction gains and the ability to investigate the impact of each/all of these thermal bridges on the model energy balance.

🏥 Hospitals under pressure — the climate threat Scotland can’t ignore.

We’re proud to share that Colin Rees’s article, published in The Herald, highlights a crucial issue for Scotland’s healthcare system: the urgent need to strengthen climate resilience, with more efficient systems and improved building performance across our health sector:

“Because the buildings in which care is delivered, are themselves critical to patient outcomes”

By embedding building performance modelling from the earliest design stages, we can design future-ready healthcare environments — making smart, data-driven investments that deliver real value — for patients, budgets, and the planet.

This is our opportunity to align patient care with climate care — cutting costs, cutting carbon, and safeguarding wellbeing.

🚨 Service Update: Microsoft Azure Outage 🚨

We want to make our customers aware that the IES website and some of our cloud-based software tools are currently affected by the ongoing global Microsoft Azure outage.

Licence updates for the VE are also affected, however those with a live existing licence will be able to continue to use the software.

As this issue is outside of IES’ control, we unfortunately don’t yet have an ETA for resolution. We’ll continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates as they become available.

You can monitor Microsoft’s service status directly here: https://azure.status.microsoft/en-gb/status

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
