Design Intent Tool
The Design Intent Tool (DIT) provides a structured approach to recording design decisions that impact a facility's performance in areas such as energy efficiency. Using the tool, owners and designers alike can plan, monitor, and verify that a facility's design intent is being met during each stage of the design process. Additionally, the Tool gives commissioning agents, facility operators and future owners and renovators an understanding of how the building and its subsystems are intended to operate, and thus track and benchmark performance.
Full information on hardware/software requirements and how to download and install the tool may be found at the DIT website and in the on-line User Guide.
We have created a special template for the DIT, which collects the various best practices for data centersdiscussed in this training module. After installing the tool, you can open and modify this template as you choose.
