Huawei Digital Power 2023
Show WUE alongside PUE in the metrics panel, with region-specific targets as policy presets.
Open Compute Project Foundation 2022
Offer an 'OCP Ready' compliance profile that checks the delivery path (dock, ramps, door heights), floor load classes (uniform, concentrated, rolling), 3-phase IEC/NEMA rack circuits, hot/cold-aisle containment and generator load-acceptance time relative to BBU autonomy.
Rittal 2014
Keep PDU catalogue fields for phases, input A, max kW, outlet types, ambient rating, metering accuracy, relay type and management protocol (SNMPv3).
Uptime Institute Journal (Uptime Institute) 2020
Add a vestibule or airlock option to the edge enclosure template.
Schneider Electric 2021
In a portfolio/edge module let users model multiple sites with availability (or tier), headcount served and severity (1-5), compute series availability for dependent sites and rank sites by downtime x severity.
The Green Grid 2009
In the reports module, attach the measurement nomenclature (measurement category and level, period, design or measured) whenever a PUE figure is exported.
The Green Grid 2013
In operations and sustainability, add an EDE field to the IT refresh plan: the share of retired equipment going to responsible reuse or recycling.
The Green Grid 2017
Add catalog fields for quick disconnects: Cv or pressure drop at flow, drip volume per disconnect and filtration (micron) requirement.
The Green Grid 2017
In IT load planning, allow an unused-server fraction.
The Green Grid 2019
Export: provide asset/topology exports (racks, power chain, sensors) in a DCIM-ready format so designs can seed staged DCIM deployment.
The Green Grid 2021
In the IT load profile, provide an idle/low-utilisation power factor that depends on whether CPU power management is enabled.
IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Computing (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)) 2025
Do not present facility PUE as the whole efficiency story: add an optional server-overhead factor (sPUE) to the energy model and show an 'effective PUE' = PUE x sPUE next to PUE.
Eaton 2021
In the asset/lifecycle module store the installation year per UPS and battery, and project replacement dates from the component table defaults.
TMMOB Makina Mühendisleri Odası (MMO) 2007
Warn when IT and comfort loads share one UPS or one chilled-water primary loop, since that blocks independent temperature reset and free cooling.
CDC / National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health 2019
Write the MTBF and MTTR assumptions beside every availability estimate.
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).
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.
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.
European Commission (Official Journal of the European Union) 2024
Build the metering architecture to the regulation: meters on every supply input for total energy (grid and back-up generator separately) and at every UPS output for IT energy, with a system that retains measurement point and device records for at least 10 years.
Schneider Electric 2023
Add a dielectric-fluid catalog with family (hydrocarbon, fluorocarbon), phase (1p, 2p), flash point, boiling point, GWP, PFAS status, cost per litre and annual loss percentage.
Vertiv 2017
In A/B (2N) racks keep each feed's design load at or below rating x 0.8 (80%-rated breaker) x 0.5; for single phase usable kW = V x I x 0.8 x 0.5.
IEEE (Energy Efficient HPC Working Group paper; hosted by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) 2021
Use the eight-section outline as the skeleton for the controls part of an Owner's Project Requirements before the Basis of Design starts.
