U.S. Department of Energy / Federal Register 2025
For federal-site scenarios, keep water (million gal/day), grid market (MISO, PJM) and area (acres) as separate fields in site records.
U.S. Department of Energy / Federal Register 2025
When planning a large load connection, query the interconnection queue, transmission congestion and reconductoring potential for the relevant grid region early.
European Commission, DG GROW (Intertek) 2016
When buying servers and storage use SERT results and ENERGY STAR server specifications to compare energy efficiency; the EU Code of Conduct also refers to ENERGY STAR for procurement.
International Energy Agency 2024
Use this document as benchmark and context only, not as a source of default values.
International Energy Agency 2025
Add a China profile to regulatory rules: show the average PUE below 1.5 and on-load rate of at least 60% targets as a compliance warning (possibly stricter for national hub regions).
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory / The Brattle Group 2026
The cost model should support large-load tariff features: minimum billing demand (% of contract MW), contract term, ramp schedule and collateral.
Enerji Piyasası Düzenleme Kurumu (EPDK) 2022
If the site has on-site BESS or generation exporting to the grid, add a DSO SCADA interface item to the electrical scope.
T.C. Enerji ve Tabii Kaynaklar Bakanlığı 1984
In cable sizing (TR profile), add the Turkish voltage-drop limits: 1.5% lighting and socket, 3% motor from building entry, and 5% from transformer to building entry.
T.C. Enerji ve Tabii Kaynaklar Bakanlığı 2000
In the MV module (TR profile), select transformer primary protection automatically: fused load-break switch up to 400 kVA, fused load-break switch or relay-operated breaker up to 1,600 kVA, relay-operated breaker above.
Enerji Piyasası Düzenleme Kurumu (EPDK) 2014
Grid-connection wizard (TR profile): ask for contracted power and voltage level, route requests above 36 kV to TEIAS and lower ones to the regional distribution company.
Enerji Piyasası Düzenleme Kurumu (EPDK) 2021
Treat a grid-interactive data-centre battery as storage integrated with a consumption facility: same metering point and a distribution company connection opinion are required.
Enerji Piyasası Düzenleme Kurumu (EPDK) 2019
In the generator module, tag standby diesel sets as 'imdat grubu': no generation licence, no export.
Enerji Piyasası Düzenleme Kurumu (EPDK) 2014
In power-quality checks, assess harmonic current emission of UPS and IT loads against Annex 8 limits at the point of common coupling, and size active filters if needed.
T.C. Enerji ve Tabii Kaynaklar Bakanlığı 2014
In export and QA, tag every rule and calculation with the standard used so the TR project-approval package can show the TS/EN/IEC/IEEE hierarchy.
T.C. Enerji ve Tabii Kaynaklar Bakanlığı 2001
In the earthing module (TR profile), enforce the 16 mm2 copper minimum for earthing conductors.
Bilgi Teknolojileri ve İletişim Kurumu (BTK) 2014
In the telecom client profile, enforce 2-year access-log retention, underground or protected utility entries and support-system redundancy checks.
Open Compute Project Foundation 2025
Give catalogue items (UPS, generators, switchgear, cable, CDUs, racks, concrete) an embodied-carbon block: A1-A3 kg CO2e, functional unit, method (EPD/LCA/TM65/EEIO), verification status and emission factor source, matching this disclosure template.
International Energy Agency 2026
In a site module for Korea and Japan, flag grid-congested metro regions and suggest renewable-rich regions.
European Commission JRC 2024
In grid connection and permitting discussions account for regional concentration (data centres are 18% of national electricity in Ireland); in dense markets grid capacity and permitting can be a critical risk.
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.
Executive Office of the President / Federal Register 2025
For projects assumed on federal land, put the site criteria on the checklist: soil and terrain, transmission proximity, telecom, distance from waters and air quality.
