Use cases
ROOMDENSITY is a lookup entity referenced by ROOM (as density) to classify the power density tier of a data hall. Beyond name and description, it defines density ranges in two units: watts per square foot (minWattsSqft, maxWattsSqft) and kilowatts per rack (minKwPerRack, maxKwPerRack). These dual metrics serve different planning perspectives: W/sq ft for facility-level cooling design, kW/rack for customer provisioning and SLA definition.
Typical tiers range from low density (~3-5 kW/rack) through medium (~8-15 kW/rack) to high density (~20-40+ kW/rack). The color field enables visual heat-map overlays on floor plans. Uses a flat definition structure with grid view.
