121–144 / 201
Resources, Conservation and Recycling (Elsevier) 2025
In the water module, report both on-site WUE and grid (source) water using regional factors.
Energies (MDPI AG) 2025
When evaluating turning liquid-cooled data-centre waste heat into electricity, weigh RTE (76-83%) against specific cost (767-1125 USD/kWh); higher RTE can come with a cost increase.
Frontiers in Toxicology (Frontiers Media SA) 2026
When selecting a two-phase immersion fluid, add toxicology and occupational exposure limit (here WEEL 200 ppm) to the specification alongside boiling point (40-60 °C), dielectric strength, non-flammability and material compatibility.
Trane Technologies / UL Environment 2023
In preliminary embodied-carbon calculations, use 129 kg CO2e per refrigeration ton as a proxy factor for water-cooled centrifugal chillers and label it as a proxy.
Türk Tesisat Mühendisleri Derneği (TTMD) - TTMD Dergisi 2026
Offer sparse-sensor temperature-field reconstruction in monitoring and digital-twin features as a fast alternative to CFD, flagged as model-based.
Çakmak Avukatlık Bürosu 2026
In the site and energy module for Turkish projects, let users model PPA versus unlicensed self-generation (5(1)[h], with the 5 MW cap for 5(1)[c]) and storage.
IEC 2013
In the sustainability catalogue, allow UPS environmental declaration fields (materials, end of life, use-phase losses).
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 2026
Use the 2030 ranges as context in load-growth and grid-request narratives.
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.
Nature (Springer Science and Business Media LLC) 2025
Add a cooling-technology comparison calculator that computes annual energy as IT MW x load factor x PUE x 8760 and applies the paper's Table 3 deltas (PUE -3%/-6%, IT capacity +3%/+6%) and Table 4 savings ranges as tagged defaults.
TMMOB Makina Mühendisleri Odası (MMO) 2023
In the catalogue, add test-standard and witness-test fields for IEC/DC AHUs: ASHRAE 143 rating, tested capacity, factory witness test yes/no.
Open Compute Project Foundation 2022
Default liquid-cooled designs to warm facility water (W40/W45) in chiller-free or dry-cooler-only plant options, citing this paper as supporting evidence.
Uptime Institute Journal 2025
Model annual water use from heat rejection type, set points and hourly climate rather than a fixed WUE.
Huawei Digital Power 2023
Show WUE alongside PUE in the metrics panel, with region-specific targets as policy presets.
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.
Vertiv 2024
Extend the power-source library beyond utility plus diesel: BESS (AC- or DC-coupled to the UPS), SOFC prime power, PEM backup fuel cell, PV and CHP, each with fuel type, start time, ramp capability and emissions factor.
The Green Grid 2012
In the embodied-carbon module, define explicit LCA boundaries (modules A-C per EN 15978) and life-cycle stages for the facility and IT.
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
In a sustainability scorecard, group indicators into impact categories.
The Green Grid 2016
In the reliability module, alongside Tier/EN 50600 classes, offer an availability-based rating that credits on-site renewables and alternative topologies.
Sustainability (MDPI AG) 2025
In waste-heat use, first match technology to source temperature (heat pump 20-55 °C, absorption cooling 30-85 °C) and think of electricity, heat, cooling and storage together rather than a single technology.
Schneider Electric 2025
In the sustainability panel compute operational CO2e = IT MWh x PUE x grid EF, with a grid-EF catalog by country/region (default US 454 kg CO2e/MWh incl. upstream) and a renewable-PPA toggle.
Schneider Electric 2025
Default TCS supply to 40 C for liquid-cooled designs; warn below 30 C (efficiency loss) and above 45 C (server spec limit).
