Energy-Efficient Data Center

Save Energy and Reduce Costs

Energy-Efficient Data Center

The increasing digitalization and the exponential growth in data volumes are driving a rapid rise in energy consumption in data centers worldwide. Data centers are the backbone of our modern information society, and their energy efficiency is crucial to the sustainability and competitiveness of your business. In this context, compliance with the Energy Efficiency Act is becoming ever more significant. This law requires companies to take measures to increase data center energy efficiency and to regularly undergo an energy audit according to DIN EN 16247.

ISO 50001 certification ensures that a systematic energy management system is established within your organization, contributing both to reduced energy costs and regulatory compliance.

Given these developments, implementing targeted measures to increase data center energy efficiency is becoming increasingly urgent. Improved energy efficiency not only helps reduce operating costs but is also a vital step towards achieving your climate goals and complying with regulatory requirements. Additionally, it significantly contributes to ensuring the long-term availability and stability of your IT infrastructure.

We provide guidance on the requirements for an energy audit according to DIN EN 16247 and how it impacts on your infrastructure. You will also learn about the advantages ISO 50001 certification brings to your business.

Frequently asked questions

Why is energy efficiency in data centres so important?
Data centres are among the largest IT energy consumers. Higher efficiency reduces costs and CO₂ emissions significantly – and is increasingly mandated by law (e.g. EnEfG in Germany).
Which levers do you use for energy efficiency?
We address hardware optimisation, cooling concepts, virtualisation, intelligent load balancing as well as PUE measurement and transparent monitoring. Software-side optimisations also noticeably reduce energy consumption.
Can older data centres still be made efficient?
Yes. With an inventory we identify the biggest levers and develop a modernisation plan that often pays for itself quickly through reduced energy costs.
What role does the German Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG) play?
EnEfG obliges data centre operators above certain sizes to take concrete measures, perform monitoring and reporting. We help you meet these requirements while also benefiting economically.
