Use cases
AIRCONT is a lookup entity referenced by FLOOR and ROOM (as airContainment) to classify the air containment strategy used to separate hot and cold air streams. Values include hot aisle containment, cold aisle containment, chimney cabinets, strip curtains, hard wall containment, or none. Beyond name and description, it includes an efficiency field rating the relative cooling improvement percentage, which helps compare containment methods when planning new deployments. Effective air containment is one of the most impactful ways to improve PUE. Uses a flat definition structure with grid view.
