Energy laws are changing faster than your infrastructure. Use this 3-minute self-audit to see if your facility meets the new German (EnEfG) and European (EED) standards.
Answer these 3 questions to assess your regulatory risk level. Red flags indicate immediate attention required.
Our engineers will analyze your facility's specific requirements and provide a technical proposal for achieving compliance.

The Energy Efficiency Act
The world's strictest efficiency law for Data Centers.
Drastic reduction of Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and mandatory waste heat reuse (ERF).
July 2026 marks the shift. New builds effectively cannot exist without a heat customer (district heating or industrial process).
Fines up to €100,000 for non-compliance and potential bans on new power connections.
Most standard cooling units are designed to dump heat, not transport it. To comply, you need high-pressure industrial fans capable of overcoming the resistance of heat exchangers and long ductwork.
Directive (EU) 2023/1791
Energy Efficiency Directive
Public reporting of energy performance for all data centers > 500kW.
"Name and Shame." Inefficient data centers will be listed in a public EU database. This creates massive reputational risk for colocation providers and hyperscalers hosting ESG-conscious clients.
Retrofitting legacy cooling walls with EVG high-efficiency custom arrays instantly lowers facility power consumption, improving your public ranking.
Eco-Energie Tertiaire
Reduce final energy consumption by 40% by 2030, 50% by 2040, and 60% by 2050 (baseline 2010).
Optimizing software is not enough. You must physically alter the building's thermal handling. EVG's retrofit kits allow you to upgrade 15-year-old air handlers to 2025 efficiency standards without replacing the entire unit.
Act on Energy Conservation
Data centers are a designated industry with specific benchmark targets for PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness).
Industrial decarbonization is no longer optional. CBAM and ETS II create direct financial penalties for carbon emissions.
Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism
The world's first carbon import tariff.
Steel, Aluminum, Cement, Hydrogen, Fertilizers and their downstream products imported into the EU.
Importers to the EU must buy CBAM certificates corresponding to the carbon price that would have been paid if the goods had been produced under the EU's carbon pricing rules.
If your plant isn't efficient, your product becomes too expensive for Europe. A cement plant emitting 0.9 tonnes CO₂ per tonne of cement faces €45-90 in tariffs per tonne at current carbon prices.
Carbon capture fans and process optimization. EVG supplies the high-pressure blowers needed for post-combustion CO₂ capture (amine scrubbers) and direct air capture (DAC) systems.
Emissions Trading System Phase II
Europe's cap-and-trade carbon market.
All large industrial installations in Europe (power plants, refineries, steel mills, cement kilns, chemical plants, and data centers over certain thresholds).
The cap on emissions decreases every year. Free allowances are being phased out. By 2030, most industrial operators will pay market price for every tonne of CO₂.
You must pay for every ton of CO₂ you emit. Current prices: €50-100 per tonne. Heat Recovery reduces fuel burn = Lower Tax.
Waste heat recovery systems. EVG designs high-pressure blowers that recover industrial exhaust heat for district heating, pre-heating processes, or ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) power generation—turning liability into revenue.
If your audit above showed "Red" flags, you have three options:
Risk fines up to €100,000
Public reporting of poor metrics
Loss of "Green" certified clients
❌ Not Recommended
High CAPEX investment
Massive operational downtime
Complete facility shutdown required
⚠️ Expensive & Disruptive
Keep your housing & layout
Minimal downtime installation
Custom-engineered to fit exactly
Delivers pressure & efficiency required by law
