Plan, Cost, and Commission Your Data Center — Before Breaking Ground
Free engineering calculators and interactive dashboards for data center professionals. Estimate CAPEX/OPEX, validate Tier compliance, optimize PUE, and plan commissioning — built by an engineer with 12+ years of critical infrastructure experience. No signup required.
Resistance Zero Data Center Engineering Hub is a free, browser-based collection of 12+ professional engineering calculators for data center planning. Created by Bagus Dwi Permana (CDFOM, Ahli K3 Listrik certified), these tools help data center engineers, consultants, and facility managers estimate construction costs (CAPEX), operating expenses (OPEX), power usage effectiveness (PUE), return on investment (ROI), carbon emissions, and TIA-942 compliance. All calculations run client-side with no account required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, 100% free with no signup, no account creation, and no paywalls. All calculators run entirely in your browser. This is an educational project built to help data center professionals make better planning decisions.
The calculators use industry benchmarks and publicly available data to provide AACE Class 4–5 estimates (conceptual/feasibility level, ±30–50% accuracy). They are designed for early-stage planning and comparison, not for procurement or final budgeting. Always validate with licensed engineers and local contractors.
The tools reference ASHRAE TC 9.9 thermal guidelines, TIA-942-B data center infrastructure standard, EN 50600, NFPA 75/76 fire protection, ISO 27001 information security, ISO 50001 energy management, Uptime Institute Tier standards, and GHG Protocol for carbon accounting.
Yes. Most calculators include a print-optimized export function that generates a clean PDF layout. Use the export or print button within each tool to generate a report suitable for sharing with stakeholders.
