505–528 / 1044
National Institute of Standards and Technology 2010
Derive MTD, RTO and RPO from the BIA for the data centre and translate them into UPS and generator runtime, cooling redundancy and replication architecture requirements.
National Institute of Standards and Technology 2020
In data-centre power design, set PE-9 requirements for physically separated redundant cabling paths and automatic voltage control on critical components, and define the separation distance as an organisational parameter.
National Institute of Standards and Technology 2023
Zone the data centre's electrical (UPS, generator, ATS) and mechanical (cooling, HVAC) control systems as an OT network, separated from the corporate IT network by a DMZ.
National Institute of Standards and Technology 2025
Add media sanitization to the facility's storage and server lifecycle plan at commissioning, and label media with the confidentiality category of the system.
NIST 2008
Use a single constant when converting cooling capacity between tons and kW: 1 ton = 3.516853 kW.
JLL 2026
For site selection, include frontier-market locations in the climate and grid databases.
CBRE 2025
Add 'power available within N months' and MW-available fields to site screening.
CBRE 2025
In schedule defaults, assume more than three years' delivery for large campuses.
The Green Grid 2009
Use the map only as a visual cross-check.
U.S. DOE Federal Energy Management Program / National Renewable Energy Laboratory 2012
Offer indirect evaporative cooling and airside economizer options in the cooling selector with climate-driven hours.
Applied Sciences (MDPI AG) 2024
Make hot-aisle back pressure (hot-aisle pressure above cold aisle) a design input in contained aisles; server inlet temperature rises once back pressure reaches the fans' free-delivery point.
Buildings (MDPI AG) 2023
For hot-spot removal, before choosing lower supply temperature or higher airflow outright, compare the COP drop (3.2 to 2.6) and the energy difference (20.1% and 4.2%) with a rack-specific air distribution option.
Batteries (MDPI AG) 2026
Define a designed, buoyancy-driven vent or relief path at the top of a storage cabinet; in a closed cabinet H2 forms a flammable layer under the roof, so control gas and heat build-up.
NVIDIA 2025
Define the cluster template with SU = 8 NVL72 racks at 1.2 MW IT; auto-place SUs in rows following the reference rack layout, allocating ~150 kW per compute rack plus network racks.
NVIDIA 2026
Add the GB300 NVL72 rack to the catalog at 142 kW max, OCP ORv3 (OU) form factor, 8 x 33 kW power shelves, liquid cooled with leak detection; model ancillary network racks as EIA/AC.
Challenges (MDPI AG) 2015
In data-centre electricity-demand projections use traffic-based extrapolation (traffic × annually improving energy intensity) as an upper-bound reference; the worst case is very high and the method was later criticised for overestimating demand.
Energy Strategy Reviews (Elsevier BV) 2024
In a data-centre renewable procurement strategy, weigh that annual volumetric matching does not deliver hourly clean supply (54% to 83%) and that 85-95% hourly CFE targets cut emissions more at a relatively small premium.
Caterpillar 2015
Give the generator module a prime-mover choice (diesel Tier 2 emergency, diesel Tier 4, gas recip, gas turbine), each with start time, full-load acceptance time and permitted non-emergency hours.
Open Compute Project Foundation 2015
Add an ORV2 rack catalogue entry (600 x 1067 x ~2210 mm, 48 mm OpenU, 500/1400 kg IT-load ratings) so floor-loading calculators can use the correct footprint and point loads.
Open Compute Project Foundation 2023
Use 3 kW, 4 minutes and 6 hours recharge as default parameters for ORV3 BBU modules in the rack-power calculator.
Open Compute Project Foundation 2022
Model ORV3 in-rack BBU as an alternative to a central UPS and check that generator start and transfer time fit inside the roughly 4-minute window at rated load per shelf.
Open Compute Project Foundation 2026
Add a high-power ORV3 feed type (60 A 480 V / 63 A 400 V IEC 60309) to the busway/receptacle catalogue and size each whip at 48 A continuous in North America for power-shelf capacity checks.
Open Compute Project Foundation 2022
Add ORV3 whip feed types (NA 277/480 V L22-20P 20 A, EU 400 V IEC 60309 32 A) to the power-distribution catalogue so busway tap-off and receptacle schedules can be generated per rack.
Open Compute Project Foundation 2026
Add an ORW rack family whose footprint, height and payload come from the chosen design specification rather than fixed defaults, prompt users for those values, and warn that floor-loading and aisle-pitch checks depend on them.
