Schneider Electric 2012
Do not include an SRG by default in new designs; offer it as an optional line item with $/m2 install and biennial maintenance cost.
ASHRAE 2019
Warn when high inlet temperatures (driving fan speed-up) are combined with HDD-heavy storage racks.
ASHRAE 2008
Use it as the source of reference layouts for high-density air-cooling templates.
National Laboratory of the Rockies (formerly NREL) 2026
Use as a reference case for warm-water DLC presets (supply about 24 C, return about 38 C).
Open Compute Project Foundation 2025
In CDU catalogue entries, distinguish single-phase and two-phase (refrigerant type, saturation temperature, facility-water supply temperature).
arXiv preprint (Texas A&M University) 2026
In power-chain loss calculators for AI halls, do not evaluate PSU, UPS and transformer efficiency only at average load; accept a load-profile descriptor (duty cycle, high/low power, frequency).
Danfoss 2024
In the liquid-cooling catalogue store coupling size, OCP compliance, maximum working pressure, flow coefficient/pressure drop, disconnect-under-pressure limit and wetted materials.
Schneider Electric 2011
Give edge and closet room templates a default monitoring package: door switch, temperature at 3 heights, leak detector, camera, network management card on UPS and cooling, and metered/switched PDUs with sequencing.
Schneider Electric 2020
Add rack catalog fields: form, width, depth, height in U, static and dynamic load, UL 2416 and ISTA 3E flags, door perforation.
Huawei Digital Power 2025
Import RD 01-21 as parametric AI-hall templates (rack kW, racks per module, module kW, redundancy of fan walls/TMUs/towers, generator and transformer counts) and as golden test cases for capacity math.
Applied Thermal Engineering (Elsevier BV) 2025
In hybrid immersion/direct liquid cooling design, rank dielectric fluids by FOM1, but remember a high-FOM1 fluid can infiltrate the TIM of cold-plated CPUs and raise their temperature.
Schneider Electric 2011
Add rack catalogue fields for door perforation percentage (warn on glass or below the full-perforation spec), rail width versus cabinet width (warn on a 23 in cabinet with 19 in rails and no side seals) and blanking included.
ISO/IEC 2018
Model cable pathways (overhead trays, underfloor) and distribution areas as layout objects.
ISO/IEC 2017
Add optional server benchmark fields (performance score and power at max) to the rack/IT catalogue so the tool can aggregate a fleet ITEEsv per hall.
Energies (MDPI AG) 2019
Consider a cabinet-level rear-door heat exchanger as an option that can raise heat dissipation by 56-67% over air cooling; compare oil or water coolant separately on leakage risk and maintenance.
Upsite Technologies blog 2022
Rack and server catalogue entries should carry a delta-T (or airflow per kW) field.
ASHRAE 2016
Link IT equipment airflow and thermal characteristics in the catalog to facility cooling selection.
International Energy Agency 2026
For on-site generation sizing, when users choose islanded or behind-the-meter gas, apply an N+x overbuild check (30-70% above load per IEA) and model BESS for AI power swings.
Legrand 2026
In the rack-power calculator, offer inlet presets (voltage, amps, plug), apply 80 % continuous derating and show kW per feed.
STULZ 2025
Define rack templates per GPU generation with a default kW and liquid/air split, for example 85/15 at 130 kW and 100/0 at 600 kW.
IEC 2012
In the busway object, catalogue rated current, Icw, R/X per metre, tap-off ratings and IP class.
arXiv preprint (National Laboratory of the Rockies) 2026
Size AI data-centre facility power with measured profiles rather than the rated design: even with all servers utilised, facility power reached only 73-80% of rated design.
Legrand 2025
In the cabinet catalogue record supported PDU mounting positions (count, inside/outside, 0U slots) and whether mounting is toolless.
Motivair 2023
Add RDHx entries to the catalog with nominal kW at the stated water and room conditions, flow limit, fan power and rack size compatibility.
