One liquid-to-chip plant, five standards bodies
Pick a block on the plant. The inspector shows what governs it and opens the tool that answers the question.
Select a block to see which standards govern it, which metric is taken there, and the tool that answers the question. Statements summarise the cited documents; they are not compliance advice. Plant numbers come from one model shared by every workbench page and edited in the plant strip above. ISO, ASHRAE, TIA and NFPA take their inputs from it (each marked auto, overridable), the Tier simulator draws DH01’s topology from it, the DH01 thermal map shows what a fault does to the hall, and the model lab computes on it.
Same site, same load, four plants
Annual figures are hour-weighted over climate bins, never a fixed fraction of the design-day PUE. The bins are a generic tropical lowland profile: replace them with the site’s EPW bins, because two sites in the same country can differ by double digits in fan energy and water.
● governs sets a requirement on the block · ◐ measures defines a metric taken there · ○ context relevant, not binding.
Commissioning levels L1–L5 as the industry uses them. Select a stage for the tests the standards ask for there. Each level is a gate: nothing moves to the next with open findings from the last.
