Value kindmodeled — Interpret this value according to its displayed kind, scope, source, and as-of date.
ScopeA generic-building framework figure, not a data-center measurement, and it excludes recurring IT-equipment refresh. The share moves with grid factor, service life, refresh cadence, utilization, useful output and the LCA boundary, so compute the crossover for your own fleet before applying it.
