Sustainability (MDPI AG) 2025
In waste-heat use, first match technology to source temperature (heat pump 20-55 °C, absorption cooling 30-85 °C) and think of electricity, heat, cooling and storage together rather than a single technology.
Schneider Electric 2025
In the sustainability panel compute operational CO2e = IT MWh x PUE x grid EF, with a grid-EF catalog by country/region (default US 454 kg CO2e/MWh incl. upstream) and a renewable-PPA toggle.
Schneider Electric 2025
Default TCS supply to 40 C for liquid-cooled designs; warn below 30 C (efficiency loss) and above 45 C (server spec limit).
ASHRAE 2023
Evaluate all applicable inlet conditions (temperature, moisture, dew point, altitude) together.
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 2024
Take AI rack and node power assumptions (3.4 to 12.2 kW per 8-GPU server, 20% idle) as a cross-check on IT load models, not as a substitute for vendor data.
European Commission JRC 2025
Design the facility to operate within the ASHRAE Class A2 allowable range and require A2 operation within warranty in IT procurement; plan separate environmental zones (practice 5.3.4) for legacy equipment.
Google 2020
Add an "hourly CFE potential" score per candidate grid (grid CFE% plus PPA options) to site selection, beside annual renewable %.
Schneider Electric 2026
Add a distribution architecture option for AI halls: AC 415/240, 48 VDC busbar, 800 VDC sidecar, 800 VDC centralized.
Schneider Electric 2026
In the schedule estimator, default MV switchgear lead time to about 26-32 weeks (ETO)
CDC / National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health 2019
Write the MTBF and MTTR assumptions beside every availability estimate.
BICSI 2024
Offer BICSI classes as an alternate standards profile alongside Uptime/TIA/EN, with an F1~Tier I/Rated-1/Class 1 ... F4~Tier IV/Rated-4/Class 4 table labelled 'conceptual equivalence only'
Telecommunications Industry Association 2024
In a 'TIA-942' standards profile, let users pick a rating per discipline (for example electrical Rated-3, mechanical Rated-3, telecom Rated-2)
European Commission, DG Energy 2025
Compare your design PUE target with the real EU spread: 1.21 on average above 10 MW, 1.55 at 1-2 MW; set a realistic bound for your facility size.
Schneider Electric 2021
In the operations module attach a maintenance strategy and default PM interval (quarterly/semi-annual/annual) to each catalog asset class, with a condition-based monitoring option.
Open Compute Project 2026
In the commissioning and operations module, generate a TCS fluid-quality test plan with these acceptance limits (conductivity, pH, turbidity, total viable count) at fill and at periodic intervals (default quarterly).
Schneider Electric 2018
Add battery catalogue parameters: chemistry, service life at 25°C, m² per kWh, kg per kWh and floor loading.
Schneider Electric 2017
Prefer Li-ion with a 10-year life as the default for edge and rack UPS.
Schneider Electric 2025
In the energy dashboard, show IT-side levers (utilization, accelerated computing) next to facility PUE.
U.S. Department of Energy / FEMP Year not stated
Keep evaporation, drift, leaks and blowdown as separate items in the model.
Eaton 2016
Add a designLifeYears catalog parameter per equipment type, default to the range midpoint, and drive a TCO/refresh timeline from it.
U.S. DOE FEMP / NREL 2024
Weigh the supply air setpoint against server fan energy: raise it in small steps within the ASHRAE recommended range so the most demanding inlet nears 80 °F, only after air management is in place, and control to IT inlet temperature rather than return temperature.
BRE Global 2012
In existing-site assessments, show the legacy scheme when the user records a BREEAM DC 2010 certificate.
BRE Global 2019
Metering rule: if projected PUE is below 1.2 require IT-level (PUE3) metering; at 1.2-1.5 require at least PDU-output (PUE2); otherwise UPS-output (PUE1) is acceptable.
Schneider Electric 2024
Add an efficiency-degradation factor to the opex model for run-to-fail operation (+19%/+29%/+39%/+51% cooling energy in years 2 to 5) against the maintained case.
