Topic guide
Explore publications on PUE and other data centre performance indicators. Before using a metric for comparison or design decisions, check its measurement boundaries, calculation method and required inputs against the original reference.
121–144 / 212
Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing (ACM) 2024
Keep embodied-carbon amortisation (TE x T/EL) in procurement, refresh and design-option comparisons, and use operational carbon only for runtime placement and scheduling recommendations.
Schneider Electric 2012
Require design criteria (tier, density, capacity) to be derived from stated business goals before site and space tools are used.
Schneider Electric 2016
When the user raises the inlet setpoint, include server fan power and airflow increase (flat/low/moderate/high CFM-vs-inlet curve) and CRAH fan and count changes; warn when PUE improves but total energy rises.
Buildings (MDPI AG) 2026
In a design tool, set CFD accuracy expectations from this review's ranges (0.1-4 °C absolute, relative mostly below 20%) and do not limit validation scope to temperature; ask for velocity and pressure too.
Siemens 2018
Offer W/m2 defaults by building type (data centre vs IT room) and redundancy-dependent simultaneity factors in early sizing.
European Commission JRC 2017
Use the CoC PUE distribution (mean 1.80, falling to 1.64) as benchmark bands in the PUE calculator, showing where a design sits against CoC participants.
Çakmak Avukatlık Bürosu 2026
Add a 'Türkiye incentive compliance' check: TS EN 50600 AC≥3, PC≥4, GL≥3.
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 2026
Use the 2030 ranges as context in load-growth and grid-request narratives.
Uptime Institute 2020
Preset the default 'typical' rack density for enterprise halls at around 8 kW, and offer explicit high-density options.
Uptime Institute 2021
Include WUE and carbon outputs by default in the sustainability report, since most operators do not measure them.
Uptime Institute 2022
Use the outage-cost distribution to justify redundancy upgrades: over $100,000 is common and over $1 million occurs in roughly one in four to five outages.
Uptime Institute 2023
Keep the default rack-density preset for enterprise facilities below about 6-8 kW.
Uptime Institute 2024
Compare the design rack density with the industry distribution; treat values above 30 kW as far above norms and trigger liquid-cooling and floor-loading checks.
ASHRAE 2023
The tool can compute 90.4 MLC and ELC directly from its mechanical and electrical one-lines: segment losses, UPS efficiency at 100/50/25% load and hourly weather by climate zone.
Schneider Electric 2015
Model PUE as a load-dependent curve of fixed plus proportional losses and show it at day-1, partial and full IT load rather than as one number.
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.
Open Compute Project Foundation 2024
The energy model should report PUE with its category (1/2/3), load point and sampling period.
Rittal 2015
In the free-cooling estimator compute economiser hours from hourly climate data against the required water supply temperature and report the percentage of the year.
The Green Grid 2009
Use as historical reference only.
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 2010
In an optional IT efficiency panel, allow users to enter server utilisation data.
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 2014
When adding ITEEsv/ITEUsv (ISO/IEC 30134-4/-5) inputs, reference this study as background.
