Blue Angel
Plan for environmental criteria from the outset.
Designing to Blue Angel criteria combines technical requirements with structured evidence. For your data centre, we clarify in particular:
- Operating model and assessment scope
- Measurement concept and available operating data
- Measures and evidence for the relevant criteria
The Blue Angel for Data Centers
The Blue Angel for data centres assesses compliance with defined environmental criteria. Requirements account for different operating models and responsibilities. The current award criteria and the specific application procedure are authoritative.
High Knowledge helps you incorporate requirements early in planning, collect data systematically and address areas for improvement. Award of the label depends on submitted evidence and the decision made under the applicable procedure. Blue Angel information on data centres.
You gain many advantages when planning a Data Center that integrates Blue Angel criteria, including:
- Active climate protection
- Fulfillment of the environmental goals of the German government
- Significant energy cost savings
- Proof of an environmentally conscious and sustainable business model
- Use of the eco-label as a sales and policy instrument
- Fulfillment of the requirements for a sustainable data center in the public sector
Expertise for the Blue Angel
We support technical baseline reviews, improvement planning and audit preparation. The roles of participating auditors and the awarding body are clearly assigned within the relevant procedure. Funding opportunities are assessed against the current programme and your eligibility.
In the inventory, our engineers evaluate and analyze all relevant technical systems as part of an initial inspection of the Data Center. The analysis concludes with an explanatory report that provides clear recommendations for action.
- PUE (energy efficient Data Center infrastructure)
- JAZ (energy efficiency of the cooling system)
- MP evu MP ee (power requirements RZ)
- MP it2 (power requirement IT)
- MP ks (current requirement cooling system)
- MP so (electricity requirement other)
- kWh th (cooling load RZ)
- ITEU SV (utilization server)
In the final step, we create all the documents required for the certification process, including:
- IT inventory list servers
- Monitoring energy
- Monitoring IT load
By considering the Blue Angel specifications for data centers, we can develop sustainable as well as ecologically and economically sensible Data Center concepts for you in the planning phase.

Blue Angel: assess the evidence transparently
The focus is assessment against the applicable award criteria and supporting evidence. We assist with preparation and assess documentation and measurements within the agreed scope. Planning, consulting and assessment preparation work together; the Blue Angel label is awarded through its official procedure.
