U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (ENERGY STAR) 2023
When importing server power data, keep the 25 ± 5 °C test ambient as metadata and warn that fan power rises at higher inlet set points.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (ENERGY STAR) 2022
Catalogue entries for storage should carry ENERGY STAR status, PSU efficiency curve points (20/50/100%) and power factor, so the rack power model can derive input power and heat from IT load rather than nameplate.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (ENERGY STAR) 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.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (ENERGY STAR) 2017
Store efficiency at 25/50/75/100% load for each normal mode (double-conversion, eco/ESS) in UPS catalogue entries, measured to IEC 62040-3.
Burns & McDonnell 2025
Add a BESS catalogue type with chemistry, MW, MWh, connection voltage and UL 9540A test reference.
The Green Grid 2026
In the metrics roadmap, plan an EUI/DCRE panel combining energy, water and IT work capacity next to PUE.
European Union Agency for the Operational Management of Large-Scale IT Systems in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (eu-LISA) 2026
For novice users, show the band labels (very efficient, efficient, average, inefficient) as plain-language feedback next to the computed PUE.
T.C. Enerji ve Tabii Kaynaklar Bakanlığı 2011
In campus planning, sum the floor areas of all data-centre buildings on the campus when checking the energy-manager threshold.
EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute) 2026
In the electrical/grid module, let users declare a flexible-load capability (curtailable MW, duration, ride-through via BESS) for interconnection studies.
European Commission 2020
Create an "EU GPP 2020 (core/comprehensive)" compliance profile: check refrigerant GWP <= 10 in the cooling catalogue, REF = 1 for third-party facilities, ICT class A2/A3 and the W class of liquid loops.
CBRE Data Centre Solutions (deck hosted on SlideShare by ICT Footprint.eu) 2018
In a pluggable standards module, map EN 50600 availability classes, Uptime Tiers and TIA-942 ratings as separate frameworks rather than equivalents.
Open Compute Project Foundation 2023
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.
Cummins 2024
Carry fuel compatibility (HVO/EN 15940), emissions tier/NOx and permitted annual run hours in the generator catalog.
SEMI-THERM 2012
Support in the energy model a dry-cooler-only liquid-cooling topology where cooling overhead is a few percent of IT load.
IEEE Access (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)) 2025
For a UPS that will provide grid services, define the SOC window (for example 20-80%) and show by calculation that backup autonomy is preserved inside it.
Sustainability (MDPI AG) 2024
Where plain IEC falls short in a hot-humid climate (high wet-bulb), consider a liquid-desiccant pre-stage; in the Hong Kong example supplementary mechanical cooling fell from 5092 to 31 h.
Nortek Air Solutions 2021
Support peak pPUE (electrical sizing, with N-x units offline at ASHRAE N50/N20 extremes) separately from annual pPUE/WUE (energy) in the cooling plant model.
Uptime Institute 2022
Use it as context for roadmap and assumption notes on density, grid and liquid cooling in the design wizard.
Uptime Institute 2023
Use as context for roadmap and assumption notes (density, grid, liquid cooling) in the design wizard.
Uptime Institute 2024
Use as context in the design wizard's roadmap and assumption notes on density, grid and liquid cooling.
Uptime Institute 2025
Cite it as context when documenting density, grid and liquid-cooling assumptions as roadmap notes in the design wizard.
STULZ 2015
Model the cooling-topology choice with five options (direct air, indirect plate, thermal wheel, CRAC with glycol dry cooler, CRAH with chiller economiser), each with a footprint multiplier and an economiser start condition.
Energies (MDPI AG) 2023
Check free-cooling feasibility from the required coolant outlet temperature, the tower approach (dry 10 K, open wet 5 K, closed wet 6.5 K) and the at-least-5 K coolant range.
arXiv preprint (Stanford University / Microsoft Azure Research) 2026
For an AI inference facility, set interconnection capacity from traces generated from the workload, not nameplate TDP or mean power; TDP sizing gave 1.19 MW against 0.75 MW trace-based (about 60% too much).
