DC Design Element Classification

High tier level with redundant systems Water recovery systems? Modular Design Free Cooling LED lighting Variable speed fans Lights out in the DC Non-toxic construction materials Recycling policy Use of local resources Small land footprint GREEN EFFICIENT

Modular

Resilient & Flexible


Features that enhance the reliability of the Plant to reduce outage impact or downtime. Increasing reliance often decreases efficiency and greenness As tier level goes up, footprint increases and efficiency decreases Greenness and resilience rarely compliment each other directly

RESILIENT FLEXIBLE

Green
Features that are designed to reduce the environmental impact of the plant. Reduced carbon and environmental footprint Decrease energy and resource input requirements Recycled/renewable materials THE Carbon footprint is only one measure of environmental impact

SWEET SPOT

Efficiency
Design features that increase the operational efficiency. Amount of output from the plant for a given resource input Most efficiency features benefit overall greenness Can be calculated several ways for different systems Our primary energy efficiency measure will be ratio of utility power in against UPS load delivered to equipment.
