Data Centre ELV & ICT Design
for European Facilities

Remote design support for data centre and technical facility projects across Europe: structured cabling, rack and telecoms layouts, security systems and building-management integration.

Data centre work in Europe increasingly connects with EN 50600 facility requirements, EU energy-performance reporting and cybersecurity duties for networked building systems. We design the ELV and ICT layers around those requirements and your agreed scope.

Design Scope

Data Centre ELV & ICT Design Scope

Scope is agreed against the data centre brief and the appointed consultant's design criteria, not a fixed package.

Structured cabling architecture
Main, horizontal and zone distribution, fibre backbones, and documented cabling schedules for the chosen topology.
Rack, cabinet & containment layouts
Rack elevations, containment routes, and separation between power and data paths within the hall.
CCTV & access control
Perimeter, hall and white-space coverage, with access control zones for machine rooms and staff entry.
Fire detection interfaces
Early smoke detection, alarm zoning and interfaces with suppression systems where the project specifies them.
Environmental & BMS monitoring
Sensor points for temperature, humidity, power and leak detection, integrated to the BMS or DCIM platform.
Energy monitoring data
Metering points and data collection that support PUE tracking and EU data centre reporting.
EN 50600

Aligning Data Centre Design to EN 50600

EN 50600 is the European series for data centre facilities and infrastructure. Its availability and protection classes shape how power, cooling and cabling are made resilient.

We confirm the target classes with the client or appointed consultant at the start of each project, then design the ELV and ICT layers to match. Where the project does not specify classes, we say so in the design basis rather than assume one.

EU Energy Reporting

Designing the Monitoring Layer Early

Under Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1364, data centres with at least 500 kW of installed IT power must report energy performance data each year to a European database. National guidance has pointed to 15 May for the previous year's data. The rating scheme for data centres is still a proposal and is not yet in force.

The monitoring layer is cheapest to design in early. Plan power metering at IT and facility level, BMS data points, and dedicated network paths for data collection. Confirm the reporting boundary and data definitions with the operator before design freeze.

Sector FAQs

Data Centre Design FAQs — Europe

Our core scope is the ELV and ICT layers: cabling, security, fire detection interfaces, AV and monitoring. Mechanical and electrical power design is by your MEP and electrical engineers. We coordinate the interfaces with them.
Yes, at the ELV and ICT layer. We design cabling, security and monitoring redundancy to the target classes you confirm. We do not certify a facility against EN 50600 or any other standard.
We design the metering, BMS data points and network paths that support reporting. The reporting duty and the data definitions come from the operator and the applicable EU and national rules.
