Embrace the opportunities of digital transformation
The digital transformation offers companies new opportunities for optimizing systems and reducing energy consumption. By tapping their latent potential for greater efficiency, companies can make a significant contribution to environmental protection. There are now a range of innovative approaches and solutions for the data-driven management and control of energy systems, production facilities, and associated processes. Based on our extensive experience in past projects, the implementation of our energy-monitoring solution can reduce energy consumption between 5 and 30 %.
Our software solution
Our proprietary EnEffCo® solution is one of the best commercially available tools for energy-efficiency monitoring and management. EnEffCo® was developed based on our many years of energy consulting experience. We have implemented more than 2,000 projects together with companies from a wide range of economic sectors.
Rockwool was looking for an energy management solution in order to identify fluctuations in the energy required to manufacture product batches. The company also wanted to improve its ISO 50001-certified energy management system.
“EnEffCo® has greatly optimized the energy consumption of our core processes. The solution paid for itself within one year – an irrefutable value proposition.” says Eric Strauch, former Energy Management Officer.
Take advantage of our expertise
Benefit from expert knowledge, user orientation and a very broad range of applications with EnEffCo® – from monitoring, ISO-50001 management and statistical plant monitoring to load and flexible energy management and control of your e-vehicle charging.
Depending on your specific needs, the basic software package can be upgraded with a wide range of additional modules, including Mobile App, Sankey Diagram, Smart Query, and EnEffReg®.
The Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA) is running a subsidy program to help defray the costs of private-sector investment in energy and environmental management systems. Cost coverage runs as high as 40 % for SMEs and 30 % for large companies, up to a project-specific investment volume of 10 million euros. Companies can apply for funding to subsidize both software and hardware costs (e.g. measurement technology).
Get to know EnEffCo®
Energy systems management has grown more challenging in light of rising commodity prices and ever more stringent regulatory requirements. The technical specifications required of a software solution may also vary significantly between company sites or departments. EnEffCo® is a robust software solution that can be gradually expanded over time to meet your changing needs while remaining suitable for various user groups. We encourage you to take a first-hand look at the many possibilities offered by EnEffCo. Our experts would be happy to demonstrate the software as part of an initial consultation.
Energy management
Energy management systems certified in accordance with the DIN EN ISO 50001 standard use statistical models and key performance indicators (KPIs) to demonstrate continuous improvement. When establishing such a management system, companies are required to identify significant energy users (SEU) and audit their baseline consumption. EnEffCo® allows you to assess your energy consumption in a targeted fashion while also providing for the continuous monitoring of your SEUs. Our team is ready to provide you with a range of services depending on your needs. These include:
Digital energy efficiency
With the help of EnEffCo® and targeted services, we support you in maintaining and increasing the efficiency of your plants. Essential components are the monitoring and benchmarking of plants based on the ÖKOTEC key figure methodology, a measurement-based statistic, and know-how from our more than 2,000 customer projects.
Monitoring with EnEffCo® identifies increased consumption and allows you to check the effects of implementing a particular measure. Benchmarking determines the potential for savings and leads to better decisions about where best to expand measures. The effectiveness of our approach has been confirmed in several large projects. It is based on three steps:
EnEffCo® Consultant
“In a project for a supplier of building materials, we identified significant energy savings potential thanks to EnEffCo® and our analysis.”
Carbon footprint management
In addition to calculating your carbon footprint, we can help you to monitor your systems and processes, to identify inefficiencies, and to review your progress in reducing emissions. Our software provides you with reliable data for all your internal and external reporting and compliance needs. EnEffCo® is an innovative platform for the digital management of your corporate climate strategy:
Flexible energy management
The increasing share of variable fluctuating renewables in power grids means that power prices can vary considerably depending on the amount generated from the sun and wind. Great economic benefits can be obtained from the flexible operation of your systems, allowing you to take advantage of time periods with low power prices. We offer powerful and cost-effective solutions for the flexible management of your operations.
We have many years of experience in the analysis of energy use by industrial companies; in the development of robust operational control systems tailored to your workflows and processes; and in the implementation of diverse interfaces for networking between systems and reacting to market data.
EnEffReg
The digital revolution offers manufacturing companies the opportunity to transform their products and systems in order to make them more efficient and sustainable. EnEffReg enables the intelligent and automated IT-based control of manufacturing systems in accordance with defined efficiency criteria. Our solution uses self-learning algorithms to analyze the big data generated by your manufacturing activities, allowing the automatic determination and maintenance of the most efficient operational parameters. Major German companies – including Bayer, Daimler, and Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe – have tested EnEffReg in pilot projects which have achieved considerable energy-efficiency gains. Both the overall manufacturing system at a given plant and all constituent subsystems are subjected to permanent monitoring, allowing efficiency even amid changing operational conditions.

Flyer Product EnEffCo®
Charging electric vehicles in an uncoordinated manner can lead to peak electricity consumption and thus high costs – especially for companies and fleet operators. The solution: Intelligent load management.
A new method makes it possible for the first time to determine a specific CO2 footprint for all manufactured products in real time. This is made possible by an extension for digitalized energy management.
At the end of 2018, Daimler began rolling out EnEffCo® in more than 15 plants worldwide. The rollout will initially focus on Europe, with several hundred thousandlicense data points to be connected worldwide.
