Building Information Modelling (BIM)

The BIM approach at Griffiths Evans is innovative and efficient.

We use the latest technology available, with cloud-based data storage and management solutions. We have created processes to give project teams from all disciplines access to our designs in a live environment.

The Griffiths Evans Common Data Environment (CDE) allows us to achieve:

• real-time collaboration via a web portal to the live modelling environment
• an efficient design process for quality review
• 3D coordination
• scheduling outputs from the model

Technology engineering

Technology is a fundamental part of building design driving access, performance, sustainability, and user experience.

At Griffiths Evans, we design integrated systems that work from day one, embedded into the infrastructure to ensure long term reliability and adaptability. From smart homes to smart stadiums, our work balances intuitive controls with futureproofed infrastructure design.

Our experience includes:

• Fibre & Structured Cabling Networks – Enabling seamless digital services, high-speed connections.
• EV Charging Solutions – Load managed systems that avoid oversizing utilities and allow simple future expansion.
• Smart Metering & Energy Monitoring – Aligned with operator standards and designed to make energy use clear and actionable.
• IoT-Based Building Controls – User friendly systems for lighting, HVAC, and access, designed around to suit users and the building operator.
• Broadcast Infrastructure Systems – Fully digital media infrastructure.
• Access Control & Surveillance – Integrated security systems for an enhanced customer journey, efficient entry and remote monitoring.

For stadiums, arenas, and live venues, we deliver:

• High-Density WiFi & Mobile Networks – Infrastructure that performs under pressure, even during large events.
• Ticketing, Crowd Monitoring & Access Control – Systems designed to manage high footfall and security with speed and reliability.
• Venue Comms Rooms & Media Infrastructure – Structured cabling and rack layouts built around live operational needs.
• Performance Technology Integration – Including LED display, show lighting, video production, and event overlay infrastructure.

Our goal is simple: to ensure the technology design is engineered for a better future!

Dynamic thermal modelling

The Griffiths Evans team includes specialists in dynamic thermal and compliance modelling.

We use Dynamic Thermal Modelling to:

• test and enhance the thermal performance of façade designs
• understand the impact of different low- and zero-carbon technologies
• model daylighting within rooms
• model natural ventilation systems
• produce detailed calculations of heating and cooling loads to accurately determine size of equipment needed
• demonstrate compliance with planning policy and building regulations

Computational Fluid Dynamics

Griffiths Evans use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to optimise our HVAC designs. CFD is an essential tool for the design development HVAC systems serving large volume conditioned spaces, such as an arena bowl.

Through the application of CFD we are able to:

• Optimise the HVAC system design to be the most cost efficient solution, that delivers the required internal environment
• Achieve a design that provides a consistent thermal environment for the building occupants
• Maximise the energy efficiency of the system, supporting a more sustainable building operation

Sustainable Engineering Practices

Our response to the increasingly urgent climate emergency centres around a first principles approach to engineering problem solving.

We go beyond the established performance metrics, taking an unconstrained view of each projects particular needs and opportunities.

We continuously review our design solutions to ensure the latest MEP systems technology is appropriately applied to each project.

Griffiths Evans have experience in deploying renewable energy generation systems including:

• Photovoltaic panel arrays
• Bivalent heat pump systems
• Solar hot water heating systems
• Ambient temperature heat sharing networks

We employ a low energy, fabric first and passive engineering strategy to our building systems designs.
