Liquid cooling is revolutionising data centre efficiency. Learn how improved PUE, lower energy consumption, waste heat recovery and hybrid cooling strategies are helping create more sustainable digital infrastructure.

Discover the three main liquid cooling technologies transforming modern data centres. This guide explains direct-to-chip cooling, immersion cooling, rear-door heat exchangers, CDUs and ASHRAE design standards.

Artificial intelligence is transforming data centre design. Discover why traditional air cooling is reaching its limits and how liquid cooling is becoming essential for supporting the next generation of high-performance computing.

Designing a commercial heat pump for domestic hot water is more complex than simply selecting an outdoor unit. Learn how engineers size heat pumps, optimise thermal storage, manage peak demand, and maximise efficiency through intelligent system design.

When it comes to building or renovating any commercial or residential property, the mechanical and electrical (M&E) systems are crucial. These systems ensure that the building operates efficiently, safely, and comfortably. Choosing professional M&E design services can make a significant difference in the success of your project. This article explores why hiring a professional M&E design company is essential and how it benefits your construction or refurbishment project. The I

Heat pumps and gas boilers operate on completely different principles. While boilers are limited to ~90–95% efficiency, heat pumps can deliver 3–5 times more energy than they consume by extracting renewable heat from the environment.

Cold water tastes fresher because it contains more dissolved oxygen, but in steam systems oxygen becomes a major cause of corrosion. Learn how temperature affects dissolved oxygen and why boiler feedwater is deaerated in modern heating and industrial applications.

Advanced thermal modelling tools such as IES VE and DesignBuilder provide detailed heat loss calculations that go beyond the standard BER Heat Loss Indicator (HLI). This article explains how simulation-based design improves accuracy, supports HVAC sizing, and enhances building energy performance compared to traditional BER assessments in Ireland.

This article compares condensing and desiccant dehumidifiers, explaining how each technology works and which is more energy efficient. It covers key differences in performance, applications, and running costs for residential, commercial, and industrial use.

An essential step in electrical design is estimating the likely load requirements of a building. This process provides the foundation for selecting electrical equipment, designing distribution systems, and ensuring long-term energy efficiency and safety. At NEXUS M&E Design , we begin with a careful evaluation of load requirements based on the building’s total area and intended use. The most practical approach is to apply unit loading values (W/m²) , determined statisticall

The Phase Down & The Bans of Refrigerents The EU is on a determined path to reduce the environmental impact of refrigerants, particularly those with high Global Warming Potential (GWP). The recent updates to the F-Gas Regulation, effective from 2024, are designed to phase out high-GWP refrigerants, pushing for the adoption of more sustainable alternatives by 2030. This shift presents both challenges and opportunities for businesses and property owners who must now plan their
