Review publications on site selection, building layouts and the physical arrangement of data centre infrastructure. Explore capacity, environmental conditions, access and expansion in the context of your project.
TELKODER - Telekomünikasyon Operatörleri Derneği 2021
In benchmarking views, use the quoted regional PUE (about 1.6) as a Turkish baseline.
ASHRAE 2011
Take corrosion-coupon classification as a site air-quality input; it drives humidity limits and filtration recommendations.
Cushman & Wakefield 2026
Add grid stability (T&D loss %) and power-delivery timeline fields to the site comparison matrix.

JLL 2026
In the cost module, use $/MW shell-and-core benchmarks (with year) as a sanity range for capex estimates, and show tenant fit-out separately.
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 2026
Use as a curated pointer list when updating grid-interaction and tariff knowledge.
Proceedings of the Twelfth ACM International Conference on Future Energy Systems (ACM) 2021
For geographic load shifting, consider locational marginal carbon emissions (lambda-CO2) as the signal instead of LMP or regional average carbon intensity; it gave the largest reduction (-1.44%).
Frontiers in Sustainability (Frontiers Media SA) 2023
In data-centre siting, look beyond PUE to energy source (EnergyIn) and heat reuse (EnergyReuse), which PUE ignores.
Schneider Electric 2011
Add UPS placement (dedicated_ups_room, white_space) to the TCO module and charge room construction ($/ft2 or $/m2, editable by building type) plus occupancy cost for a dedicated room.
Cushman & Wakefield 2026
Use as context only: it supports defaulting to large-campus templates in North American projects.
BICSI (via Cabling Installation & Maintenance) 2019
Keep BICSI 002 edition history (2014, 2019, 2024) in the standards registry for projects citing older editions.
Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) 2024
Offer a rating-level selector (Rated-1..4) that is separate from Uptime Tiers.
Consulting-Specifying Engineer 2016
Define the IT room default as 1-hour separation, 3/4-hour doors and fire and smoke dampers at penetrations.
arXiv preprint (cs.AI), Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health 2026
In fleet or facility energy estimation, use capacity × 8,760 × facility-load coefficient (0.48-0.70, central 0.58) and report the range (67.7-98.6 TWh) explicitly.
Schneider Electric 2026
Offer a delivery-method option per subsystem (stick-built or prefabricated), defaulting to about 88 and 34 weeks with editable phase durations.
CIGRE US National Committee, 2025 Grid of the Future Symposium (arXiv preprint) 2025
In a large-load interconnection application, verify the relevant entity's large-load threshold (10-75 MW) and ramp limit (Southern ≤20 MW/min) early; definitions differ widely between entities.
Schneider Electric 2022
Add site type (legacy telco, distributed cloud, MEC), environment class and power type (AC, -48 V DC, hybrid) to the project template.
arXiv preprint (cs.CY; formatted for ACM e-Energy '26) 2026
In siting and community-acceptance files, present PUE, WUE and CUE together with regional water stress, grid headroom and verification maturity (L0-L4); back project commitments with contractual limits and independent metering (L2-L3).
BICSI 2026
Add a 'credentials' field to the user profile and recognise DCDC as a value there.
Proceedings of the 28th ACM International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems, Volume 2 (ACM) 2023
Add an hourly 24/7 CFE coverage calculator to site and energy design that sizes wind, solar, BESS (in hours of IT load) and server headroom together; use hourly or sub-hourly supply profiles, never daily averages.
ASHRAE 2022
In site comparison, compute both site WUE and source (grid) water using a regional EWIF, and optionally a scarcity-weighted index.
Vertiv 2025
Add a BESS block to the site model with power (MW), duration (h), reserved-backup fraction and grid/island capability.
CIGRE US National Committee, 2026 Grid of the Future Symposium (arXiv preprint) 2026
Design data-centre UPS and load control to the most restrictive entity's requirement: 6.0 s ride-through at 0.70-0.90 pu (CAISO), six fault-clearing attempts within 90 s (SPP), six 50-70 ms reclosings (Dominion), and the ban on constant-power control (SPP).
Schneider Electric 2013
Offer an option-compare calculator (airflow upgrade, add pod, facility module, new build, colocation) with inputs mirroring Appendix A-D: electricity price, cost of capital, escalation, kW/rack, PUE, colocation fees.
arXiv (University of Michigan preprint) 2026
In cooling selection, calculate direct and indirect water together: an air-cooled chiller cut direct water 97% but raised the indirect share to 96.6% and electricity by 32%.
