Independent Standard · Atlanta, GA

The first real unit
for measuring
compute energy.

CEH (Compute Energy Hour) expresses how efficiently
energy converts to AI output — kWh per token, per frame,
per TFLOP. Energy-agnostic. Reproducible. Open.

The Standard
CEH = ( TDP × Units × Util% × PUE ) ÷ 1,000 ÷ Output/hr
kWh consumed ÷ compute output units per hour
CEH Cost = CEH × $/kWh Any energy source — grid, BTM, nuclear, solar
CEH Carbon = CEH × kg CO₂/kWh Grams CO₂ per token, per frame, per TFLOP
Framework Inputs
Hardware TDP
Per-unit power draw, applied across unit count. Source: manufacturer spec or measured.
📊
Utilization Rate
Measured average during benchmark window — not theoretical peak.

01 — Operators

Adopt the Standard.
Publish your index.

Data center operators, neo-clouds, and BTM developers publish CEH-certified benchmark data on their own infrastructure. Differentiate on energy efficiency — not just $/GPU-hr. Get listed in the public CEH Index with your certification mark.

The gap in AI infrastructure

Compute has no energy unit.
Until now.

Every metric used to evaluate AI infrastructure today measures only one dimension. GPU-hour pricing bakes in margin and contractual terms. FLOPS have no energy layer. kWh carry no output dimension. CEH fills that gap — bridging hardware performance, energy economics, and carbon accounting into a single, auditable number owned by the industry.
