Power Calculator (Approximate only)
Note: This calculation is for the IT floor area only.
This is a load calculator that estimates the power required for computer load (entered as watts per square foot) and the amount of square feet involved. The cells highlighted in yellow are values that are entered manually. The remainder of the spreadsheet has the values calculated using power-utility formulas. This calculator does not consider various other losses such as transformer losses, etc. The load calculated is for a designated "hot day" which sets a maximum load.
