PUE: A Comprehensive Examination of the Metric provides guidelines for determining the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of a dedicated data center, a mixed-use facility, or specialized facility along with results, scalability analyses, and case studies. It also discusses Partial PUE and outlines the approach to reuse waste heat. Issues, such as availability of equipment and the productivity of the data center, require different metrics and different analyses.
