The Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG), passed by the Federal Cabinet on 19 April 2023 to increase energy efficiency and improve climate protection in immission control law, places high demands on data centre operators in terms of cooling, energy efficiency and waste heat utilisation.

In the future, companies will face the challenge of acting swiftly and consistently to reduce the energy consumption of their digital infrastructure and to reduce resource requirements.

Aims of the training

Planning new, energy-efficient data centres requires sound know-how and expertise. In our 2-day seminar, you will learn about energy basics, we will present key figures that you can use to evaluate the energy efficiency of your data centre and we will present practicable and pragmatic solutions for optimising the energy efficiency of your data centre.

Target group

The training is aimed in particular at

• Companies and organisations planning to build a new energy-efficient data centre,
• Data centre planners who want to offer their clients the latest standards of sustainable data centres, as well as individuals and companies who want to get a technical overview of how to design new, energy-efficient data centres.
• Knowledge of the basic structure of a data centre as well as basic physical and technical knowledge is recommended

Contents of the training

• Energy flows and energy balances in data centres
• Cooling and power supply concepts in digital infrastructures
• Key performance indicators, KPI in data centres, incl. practical examples
• Legal framework conditions and certifications regarding energy efficiency of new data centre buildings
• Parameters and requirements for increasing energy efficiency in new data centre buildings
• Early identification of potentials on the basis of feasibility studies
• Influence of technical designs on energy efficiency and costs using practical examples
• the location issue, a key influencing factor for energy efficiency, especially waste heat utilisation
• Special cases and innovative approaches for increasing energy efficiency
• Experience best practice for energy-efficient cooling and waste heat utilisation live: Guided tour through our R&D department incl. presentation of water-cooled servers, building connection of direct hot water cooling and much more.

About Cloud&Heat Technologies

The Future of compute: Green, open, efficient - this is the motto of Cloud&Heat Technologies, a Dresden-based cloud service and technology provider. With its vision of holistic, open and sustainable solutions, the company develops and operates scalable digital infrastructures. It specifically relies on open source software here, including on the basis of OpenStack, the open source standard for cloud platforms, in order to bring more transparency to the cloud and data centre market. In addition, the Dresden-based company is striving to resolve the conflict between the rapidly growing demand for computing power, e.g. in the areas of deep and machine learning, and sustainability with the help of innovative technologies (use of water-cooled servers and reuse of server waste heat), thereby improving the climate balance across all sectors. The development and use of an innovative, energy-efficient server cooling system makes it possible to re-use the waste heat from data centres to heat buildings or to connect them to local and district heating networks.
