U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (ENERGY STAR) 2016

ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Large Network Equipment, Version 1.1 (incl. Test Method Rev. Jan-2016)

Network catalogue items (ToR and spine switches) should store ENERGY STAR status, PSU efficiency points and measured power at idle, VLU, 30% and maximum load so rack heat loads reflect real utilization.

  • All copper-based physical ports must comply with IEEE 802.3 Clause 78 (Energy Efficient Ethernet).

European Union Agency for the Operational Management of Large-Scale IT Systems in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (eu-LISA) 2026

Energy-efficient data centres: a high-level overview - eu-LISA Research and Technology Monitoring Report 2026

For novice users, show the band labels (very efficient, efficient, average, inefficient) as plain-language feedback next to the computed PUE.

  • PUE bands: <= 1.2 very efficient, <= 1.3 efficient, <= 1.5 average, <= 2.0 inefficient.

Enhancing Data Center Low-Voltage Ride-Through

Add a ride-through check to the electrical module: compare the selected UPS input tolerance (IEC 62040-3 class) and IT tolerance (ITI/CBEMA) against the applicable grid-code LVRT envelope for the site's region, and flag the gap.

  • IEC 62040-3 (UPS) and ITI/CBEMA (IT loads) are the least strict compared with proposed TSO grid codes, with a substantial performance gap.

Enhancing Grid Resilience for Giga-Watt Scale Data Centers Using High Voltage Circuit Breaker Operated Braking Resistors

In gigawatt-scale data-centre interconnection studies, add the load-loss scenario from IT load transferring to UPS in a voltage dip (for example 5 × 200 MW with a 1:1 split giving 500 MW) to the grid frequency and voltage analysis.

  • Data-centre plant sizes are cited as ranging between 500 MW and 2 GW.

Environmental Sustainability Management (ESM) Software for Colocation Data Centers

In the metering plan generator, confirm meters exist to produce the chosen maturity tier's metric set: total facility kWh, IT kWh for PUE, renewable kWh, site water m3 for WUE, reused energy for ERF.

  • Over 40 countries require GHG reporting; a provider's Scope 1 and 2 emissions are a significant source of tenants' Scope 3.

Evaluating the Limits of Door Heat Exchanger Solutions Optimized for Open Rack V3

Build a rear-door HX sizing helper that takes rack kW, airflow (cfm), facility water temperature and liquid-capture fraction and returns approach, leaving air temperature and fan power, with 27 C facility water and 30 C air as default reference points.

  • Assumptions: 30 C ambient (cold-aisle upper limit), sea level, 12-15 C air delta T, W27 facility water.

Evaluation of Local Thermal Environment in Operational Data Center

Before adding servers to an existing hall, measure the local thermal environment of the target rack in place with server simulators and score it with IOM; RCI, SHI or RTI average away within-rack non-uniformity.

  • Removing blanking plates raised IOM by 31%, 358%, 718%, 84% and 85% across the five layouts, with inlet temperatures up by as much as 29%; in two layouts IOM exceeded 2.0.

Evaluation of Oxygen Reduction System (ORS) in Large-scale Fire Tests

Compare ORS design concentration with the 15-16% standard-test values in VdS 3527 and EN 16750; since large-scale hard-limit LOCs (11.1% for cartoned commodities, 13.0% for uncartoned plastics) are lower, justify the design safety margin against them.

  • Earlier lab work found LOCs of 10-13% for cardboard, wood, PS and PE, below the 15-16% range from standard tests in VdS 3527 and EN 16750:2017.

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Airflow Organization in Modular Data Centres Utilizing Floor Grid Air Supply

Choose raised-floor height of 600-800 mm and grille open area of about 40%; a 1000 mm floor gave only a small extra gain, and 20% or 60% open area pushed cabinet intake above 27 °C.

  • With cold-aisle containment entransy loss was 4450 kW·K, and with both cold and hot aisles contained it was 3500 kW·K.
