In Design to Value, design phases are described by broad questions documented into the problem statement and value drivers.

The use of microgrids, energy storage, and renewable energy sources is critical to achieving energy security and sustainability.. 3.Adapting to the rise of AI and increasing power demands.

The rise of AI is transforming the data centre landscape, leading to a significant increase in power consumption and the need for more efficient cooling solutions.Lincoln explains how data centres are adapting to these changes by exploring advanced cooling technologies, such as liquid cooling, to handle the higher heat loads generated by AI applications.The industry is currently in a learning phase, adapting to these new requirements while simultaneously building and deploying new facilities.. 4.

The importance of sustainability in data centre design.Sustainability is a core focus at Edged, and Lincoln emphasises the importance of designing data centres that minimise environmental impact.

By leveraging innovative technologies and sustainable materials, Edged aims to create data centres that not only meet current energy demands but are also prepared for future growth.

This commitment to sustainability is not just a business strategy but a responsibility towards addressing global climate challenges.. 5.The approach we took for this was to plan a time of iteration between process, engineering, systemisation, and business focused expertise, assessing the Last Responsible Moment for drawing this activity to a close.

This would allow time for the Design Sprints to deliver the integrated design to the required definition at the end of the study..The design sprints themselves were appropriately segmented, cognisant of the fact that the final sprint should be quicker as more of the outstanding questions would have been generically answered..

Many of the deliverables (3.)could be sequenced traditionally and could be tracked.
