Its a general rule of thumb for Data Centre design specified by TIA-942 standard. That will be for entire DC area designed. Out of lots of methods of calculating power, you cant go wrong with this method unless of course u know exactly what u need.
And like i said, other factors contribute such as types/size of server, design of DC and more..u definitely dont wanna put in blade servers in a 3kw per square foot designed DC and vice versa.
