Energy 300

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), in 2020, the United States consumed an average of about 18.1 million barrels of petroleum products per day. However, this includes all petroleum products, not just crude oil. It's worth noting that the United States does not produce enough crude oil to meet its own energy needs and is therefore a net importer of petroleum. In 2020, the United States imported an average of about 6.2 million barrels per day

Data Center Energy Standards

Partial map of the Internet based on the January 15, 2005 data found on opte.org. Each line is drawn between two nodes, representing two IP addresses. The length of the lines are indicative of the delay between those two nodes. This graph represents less than 30% of the Class C networks reachable by the data collection program in early 2005. Lines are color-coded according to their corresponding RFC 1918 allocation

Starting 2023 we break down our coverage of education community energy codes and standards into two tranches:

Energy 200: Codes and standards for building premise energy systems.  (Electrical, heating and cooling of the building envelope)

Energy 300: Codes and standards that support the energy systems required for information and communication technology

IEEE Energy Efficiency in Data Centers

ISO/IEC 30134 Series | CENELEC EN 50600 Series

ASHRAE 90.4 Energy Standard for Data Centers

ENERGY STAR Data Center Storage

European Code of Conduct for Data Centres Energy Efficiency

TIA-942 Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers

BICSI 002: Data Center Design and Implementation Best Practices, including energy management

Uptime Institute Annual Global Data Center Survey

Energy 400: Codes and standards for energy systems between campus buildings.  (District energy systems including interdependence with electrical and water supply)

A different “flavor of money” runs through each of these domains and this condition is reflected in best practice discovery and promulgation.  Energy 200 is less informed by tax-free (bonded) money than Energy 400 titles.

Some titles cover safety and sustainability in both interior and exterior energy domains so we simply list them below:

ASME A13.1 – 20XX, Scheme for the Identification of Piping Systems | Consultation closes 6/20/2023

ASME Boiler Pressure Vessel Code

ASME BPVC Codes & Standards Errata and Notices

ASHRAE International 90.1 — Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings

Data Center Operations & Maintenance

2018 International Green Construction Code® Powered by Standard 189.1-2017

NFPA 90 Building Energy Code

NFPA 855 Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems

IEEE Electrical energy technical literature

ASTM Energy & Utilities Overview

Underwriters Laboratories Energy and Utilities

There are other ad hoc and open-source consortia that occupy at least a niche in this domain.  All of the fifty United States and the Washington DC-based US Federal Government throw off public consultations routinely and, of course, a great deal of faculty interest lies in research funding.
