At the moment, Victoria is going in one direction.New South Wales is going in another.

Victoria’s permanent modular skill building program increased the number of offsite fabricators from five to 16 in four years and they recently released their offsite construction guidelines.

New South Wales has done a comprehensive study over the last two years leading with their Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) guidelines for schools that go beyond volumetric towards a platform-based approach.Peak summer and yearly external temperatures:.

the design temperature the external heat rejection equipment must be rated to, typically there will also be an additional allowance for recirculation for multi-unit installations (usually validated by an external CFD based on extreme temperatures and wind conditions)..In an ideal scenario, the peak summer design temperature would be lower than the required supply air/water temperature in the data hall.

This allows the data centre to rely solely on the heat rejection plant and no chillers - minimising energy consumption and resulting in low PUE values.PUE is dependent upon whether the heat rejection plant operates using adiabatic cooling..
