Design and operate your data centre in an energy-efficient way. We show you how.
Lower your energy costs, reduce your CO2 footprint and increase the sustainability of your IT infrastructure.
What makes an energy-efficient data centre?
An energy-efficient data centre considers the entire energy life cycle - from the input of electricity to the use of the heat generated. The most important pillars are
- Optimisation of the PUE value (Power Usage Effectiveness): The aim is to maximise the proportion of energy that actually flows into IT equipment in relation to the total energy of the data centre.
- Innovative cooling concepts: By replacing energy-intensive conventional air conditioning systems with more energy-efficient alternatives, such as liquid cooling systems, energy can be saved and waste heat can be utilised as required.
- Intelligent hardware management: Use of energy-efficient servers and cooling systems as well as the efficient distribution of cooling media.
- The circular economy of heat: The decisive criterion today is no longer just how much energy is consumed, but how the waste heat generated is utilised (waste heat recovery) instead of being released unused into the environment.
- Use of an energy management system: Companies and public institutions are legally obliged to use an energy management system to identify energy consumers and increase energy efficiency in their data centre.
Cloud&Heat sees itself as a bridge builder between data centres and building technology. We offer you comprehensive advice on how to optimise the energy efficiency of your data centre.
Our consulting services: The path to a green data centre
Feasibility studies
We develop a concept for an energy-efficient data centre that is tailored to your specific requirements (loads, location, budget). For new sites, we check which measures can be taken to use waste heat to increase the energy efficiency of your data centre.
Modern cooling technology
We design, advise on and implement liquid-cooled solutions that enable the energy-efficient operation of your data centre and drastically reduce the energy consumption of your IT infrastructure. Where market-available solutions reach their limits, we advise you on the development of customised cooling solutions.
Waste heat utilisation
We advise you on technical integration so that you can feed the heat from your data centre into district heating networks, building heating systems or industrial processes.
Operating
support
We support you in the continuous monitoring of your cooling metrics and the optimisation of operating parameters to ensure your efficiency targets are met in the long term. On request, we can enable your technical staff to independently monitor liquid cooling and waste heat feed-in. We also advise on the introduction, implementation and certification of a legally compliant energy management system.
Training courses and webinars
In our training courses, you will learn everything you need to know about building energy-efficient data centres, increasing the sustainability of digital infrastructures, how to get started with waste heat recovery and everything you need to know about legal requirements, such as those from the Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG).
Why Cloud&Heat is your partner for energy-efficient IT infrastructure
The construction and operation of a sustainable data centre is complex. It requires expert knowledge at the interface of IT, electrical engineering and thermodynamics. This is what sets Cloud&Heat Technologies apart:
Holistic approach
We don't just look at IT, but at the entire ecosystem. We think in cycles - from energy supply to waste heat utilisation.
Expertise in waste heat utilisation
While many only reduce consumption, we at Cloud&Heat are pioneers in recognising heat as a resource and making it usable.
Independent advice
Thanks to many years of experience with different setups and hardware suppliers, we know what is possible and what is not. We focus on the best solution for you, not on individual product lines.
Future security
We know the upcoming regulations (e.g. the Energy Efficiency Act) and ensure that your infrastructure fulfils tomorrow's requirements today.
