Modern Energy Management: CONGIV supplies latest energy management system for Audi's data center

Modern energy management enables the complete recording of energy flows and forms the basis for a continuous improvement process. And that saves energy and costs. At Audi’s data center on the IN Campus, CONGIV’s Energy Management System (EMS) ensures reliable recording, consolidation, visualization, and evaluation of all energy-related values. The system offers the user clear monitoring, systematic analysis, and business intelligence. For this purpose, all relevant energy values and KPIs are recorded and displayed in the form of an auto cockpit on both a micro and macro level, independent of the manufacturer. The recorded values are the enabler for targeted and sustainable action to reduce the carbon footprint at Audi. The system provides evidence of the use of renewable energy (REF) as well as the use of waste heat (ERF). It is also an indicator of the efficiency level of the overall system (electricity consumption IT to total electricity) and provides information on the efficiency of cooling generation and distribution. Companies that want to plan, build, operate and ultimately certify their data center on the basis of DIN EN 50600 can no longer avoid using an energy management system, because DIN EN 50600 Part 4 requires that energy efficiency is monitored, and that the entire technical system (climate, electricity) can be controlled. The experience gained is now also being implemented by CONGIV in other data centers of the VW Group, therefore actively contributing to reducing the production-related carbon footprint – and, of course, to saving costs.
