Data Centers are the Core

Design technology as a whole

We bring IT, buildings and operations together in a capable infrastructure. Drawing on experience from demanding data centre projects, we develop solutions that combine availability, energy efficiency and economic viability.

Modern Challenges Need Expert Knowledge

With Expertise Built from Years of Experience

A data centre has to meet many requirements at once: dependable utilities, capable cooling, controlled operating procedures and room to grow. Technical decisions must also fit your needs, site and budget.

We turn these requirements into a coherent overall concept, from initial feasibility assessment and detailed design to construction supervision and operational support. This gives you a sound basis for decisions and clear project responsibilities.

Expertise that brings your project together.

Data centres and AI must work as one system. We connect consulting, detailed design, construction and operation with sovereign AI, from the hardware to the digital employee.

Our project experience and contributions to technical standards inform every phase. Together, we clarify requirements, interfaces and responsibilities. Individual components become a solution that fits your company.

Managing Director Harry Knopf is a member of DKE/GK 719 “Data Centres”, working on DIN EN 50600 standardisation, and also contributes to German and European AI standardisation. More about standards and expertise →

Design energy efficiency into the whole system

Energy efficiency starts with the overall concept. IT utilisation, power distribution, cooling and operations jointly influence a data centre's resource requirements. Heat reuse also needs to suit the site and available heat users.

We work with you to establish measurable project objectives and define the assessment and measurement boundaries. PUE, water demand, heat reuse potential and greenhouse gas emissions are assessed separately. Applicable legal requirements are reviewed against the specific facility and its operating conditions.

Blue DC Elements combines different technical components for this purpose. Achievable savings and environmental impacts depend on the configuration and actual operation.

Blue DC Elements™

Blue DC Elements combines cooling, power and heat reuse solutions. We select components to suit your IT load, space constraints and availability requirements.

The focus is on efficient operation and appropriate use of available resources. Target values, technical prerequisites and subsequent performance checks are agreed for each project.

Which combination suits your data centre? Let's discuss your site.

01

Blue DC Earth

The Earth element represents planned data centre heat reuse, for example in greenhouses or algae cultivation. Whether this connection is viable depends on temperature levels, heat demand, the site and operating conditions.

02

Blue DC Water

The Water element in Blue DC represents transferring data centre heat into a water system. Our patented cooling technology is adapted to IT load, temperature levels and available heat users. Energy and emissions impacts are assessed for the specific configuration and operating scenario.

Blue DC Fire

Blue DC Fire considers the use of higher-temperature waste heat from liquid-cooled IT systems. Whether heat can be used directly or requires a heat pump depends on the server technology, temperature level and connected heat network.

04

Blue DC Air

Blue DC Air connects data centre demand with an assessment of local wind energy. Generation profiles, grid connections and reserve supply are planned together and aligned with actual electricity demand.

Data centre energy efficiency

A better PUE.
Lower energy demand.

How much difference can more efficient infrastructure make? Compare two PUE values at the same IT load to explore the potential savings.

Calculate your PUE savings potential

Worked example · PUE 1.60 → 1.30

262.800 kWh/year

less total energy demand — a calculated reduction of 18.75%.

Baseline: PUE 1.601,401,600 kWh
Comparison: PUE 1.301,138,800 kWh

Model assumptions: average IT load of 100 kW, 8,760 operating hours per year and identical system boundaries. PUE is the ratio of total facility energy to IT energy. This is an illustrative calculation, not a guaranteed saving or product characteristic. Actual results depend on utilisation, cooling and operating conditions, among other factors.

What does your project need?

Initial estimates. Clear assumptions. A better basis for your next discussion.
