Recognizing and using potential
According to environmental surveys Germany could cut back its CO2 emissions today by around 50% by the consistent use of all the energy saving measures which are already available. Several studies conducted under the rubric of "Green IT" have demonstrated that the amount of CO2 produced by the use of IT systems is roughly equivalent to that produced by global international air travel. These facts make it clear that increased efficiency in energy use is one of the most pressing issues facing us today.
Bachmann BlueNet creates optimum conditions for efficient energy management in facility-and IT. The system makes energy use transparent and therefore manageable through the use of intelligent products which help you to collect current data at the places where energy is actually being used. This helps you to recognize, document and use your energy saving potential.
Efficiency in energy management is one of the advantages of Bachmann BlueNet. Another is cost-effectiveness during installation. This is particularly important when you consider that around 40 % of office work stations are changed from the originally planned configuration within a year of being set up.
Thanks to its modular construction and the use of pre-fabricated components for installation, as well as standard plug fittings, the installation costs of setting up Bachmann BlueNet may be reduced by up to 70 %. All in all this provides you with the best conditions for bringing economy and ecology together in harmony.
Energy consumption securely in view and under control

Energy monitoring and display
If you want to be able to monitor and control energy costs you first have to find out where and when they arise. The Bachmann BlueNet system keeps you up-to-date with all the relevant data on power consumption, voltage, output and more. BlueNet monitors connected office or user-group systems as well as IT systems independently of switchboards and displays all the data recorded in an easy-to understand format.
Web-based or bus system evaluation and control
Data recorded by the BlueNet system may be sent via the web or a bus system to a central PC monitor. The facility manager therefore has additional information available, for example, an overview of exact energy costs, such as available load reserves as well as on ways of influencing the power supply of each area being monitored.
Securing networks for today and the future
The permanent availability of IT systems is absolutely essential for every business. The rapid changes in this field make energy conservation systems necessary which are equally capable of adapting to changing situations both rapidly and flexibly. Delivery of the necessary business performance is therefore guaranteed at all times.
Bachmann BlueNet is an intelligent, modular energy management system. It provides you with a single solution for structuring, controlling and monitoring IT networks. The central component of the BlueNet system for IT systems is the BlueNet display and control module. This records usage and output data and makes it available to the building management system. Communication between the BlueNet components and the building management system takes place over the available Ethernet network.
BlueNet system components are future-proofed, thanks to the modular construction system. They can therefore also be easily configured to meet alternative requirements, such as for use in sensor technology for doorway surveillance and smoke detectors.
Transparency for secure IT management
The Bachmann BlueNet system for IT systems ensures that energy is available safely, in a controllable way and so that its use can be recorded. The central recording and evaluation of connected components is possible in conjunction with all the current types of building management systems.
