Uptime Institute 2025
Use PUE 1.54 as the 'industry average' line on the efficiency dashboard, year-stamped and user-overridable
Schneider Electric 2023
Keep a jurisdiction rules table, for example Germany with PUE_max 1.2 for new builds and heat_reuse_min rising from 10% to 20%.
The Green Grid 2010
Take annual reused kWh from heat-recovery equipment (heat pumps, liquid-cooling return loops) and compute ERF and ERE.
The Green Grid 2010
Compute CUE as grid emission factor (kgCO2e/kWh, per region and hour) x PUE.
The Green Grid 2011
Build a self-assessment questionnaire that scores a design or operation 0-5 per area and links each gap to a concrete design option.
The Green Grid 2012
Make the default PUE output an annual energy-based PUE from an hourly (8760) simulation, labelled with its measurement level (design estimate: 'L3-equivalent model').
The Green Grid 2023
Take the structure of the app's air-vs-liquid TCO comparison from this document: capex, energy, water, space and maintenance by solution category.
The Green Grid 2025
Add a water-stress index from a public water-risk atlas to the site catalogue and use it to weight WUE.
