<h4>How to use this site</h4>
<p>This tool shows you the questions that will need to be answered to implement and maintain a sustainable Digital Health System. You probably won't be able to answer all the questions by yourself, so identify the people that have the knowledge and skills on the different areas covered by this tool and ask them the questions. They might be people in other departments or even some of the suppliers used by your organisation.</p>
<p>Beside the questions you will sometimes see an icon. Clicking on them will provide extra information. Below is a brief explanation of what each icon means:</p>
<p><img class="icon" src="media/why.png" alt="Why should you ask this question" style="height:48px;"><b>Why should you ask this question?</b></p><br>

<span class="popuptext" id="pop1">The questions assume you have an existing server room, cooled by an air conditioning system, and would be enhancing this to host the new digital health system. However, they are also relevant if you are setting up a server room from scratch to host your digital health system.

<span class="popuptext" id="pop6">Monitor the temperature of your server room environment. Overcooling is common in server rooms and temperatures can often be raised without any adverse effects.
<p>Aim to maximise the energy efficiency of the AC system. Considerable improvements have been made to the energy efficiency of AC systems in recent years, but be aware that these energy efficiency gains are likely to be dwarfed by the carbon footprint from the production of a new system, so don't be tempted to replace your existing system without actually assessing its efficiency - or its proximity to end of life - first.</p>
Consider the <a href="https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/understanding-global-warming-potentials" target="_blank">Global Warming Potential (GWP)</a> of the coolant used by your AC system. If this is high, find out if your system will run on a lower GWP coolant. (Note that if you are using an HFC coolant you should look to replace it as soon as possible, even if this does mean bringing forward the replacement of your whole AC system).</span>

<span class="popuptext" id="pop11">PUE and CUE are common metrics and measure Power and Carbon Usage Efficiency, respectively. <p></p>A PUE of 1 is ideal as it would indicate that all the power supplied to a server room was used for the computing equipment - so no energy was necessary for things like lighting or cooling. <p></p>A CUE of 0 is ideal as it would indicate that the server room operated entirely on carbon free energy sources.
