Germany 2028-cohort reuse screen

PUE about 1.2; ERF 18% fails 20% screen; 2 GWh/year additional useful reuse neededmodeled

Value kindmodeled — Interpret this value according to its displayed kind, scope, source, and as-of date.
ScopeExact nominal teaching operands, not measurements: in-scope non-exempt Berlin center beginning operation July 1, 2028; annual facility energy 100 GWh, IT 85 GWh, useful external reuse 18 GWh, exclusive heat-upgrading electricity zero. For displays use two significant figures for energy ratios and whole GWh for the reuse gap. Chapter 15.1 bounds the common energy boundary; §11 sets the separate screens.

SourceGuide assumptions and arithmetic, September 8, 2026; statutory/allocation criteria remain in their separate primary-source claims. · Appendix G, G-DE01: authored teaching assumptions and derivation awaiting publication with this batch; the canonical route identifies the chapter, not evidence that this case is already live.
DerivationExact nominal arithmetic: PUE=100/85=20/17=1.176470588… <1.2; display about 1.2, whose rounding does not decide compliance. ERF=18/100=18% <20%; useful reuse 20 GWh gives 20%, with 20−18=2 GWh/year extra. These exact operands define an exercise, not meter accuracy; a project needs uncertainty and the applicable annual boundary. No tariff or signed offtake is assumed.
