Measuring the emissions of software
We record the resource consumption of your applications per component or transaction and convert it into energy and CO₂-eq figures you can rely on. They serve as a basis for reporting and for technical decisions.
Software Performance & Green Software
Software decides how much hardware runs
Hardware consumes energy: while running, and already while being manufactured. But it is provisioned because of the software. If you want to cut emissions, software is where you start, not the data center.
- Resource consumption per component or transaction instead of estimates
- Performance and emissions from the same measurement
- Open standards: OpenTelemetry, SCI, Cloud Carbon Footprint
Method
From measurement to a number you can defend
The energy consumption of an individual software component can rarely be measured directly. So we derive it from resource consumption, collected where it arises: inside the application.
Collect
Resource consumption per component or transaction
We record compute, memory, network and storage use where it arises: per component or transaction, be it an API call, a batch run or a background job. Which instrumentation fits depends on your technology stack.
Attribute
Turn consumption into energy and emissions
Established models derive energy from the measured consumption, which is combined with regional emission factors to produce CO₂-eq figures, following the Software Carbon Intensity defined in ISO/IEC 21031 and including the embodied energy of the hardware.
Reduce
Decisions that improve both
Less resource consumption means shorter response times, fewer instances and fewer emissions. Performance work and sustainability meet at the same lever.
Services
How we support you
Blue Angel certification
As an official auditor we guide you through certifying your software with the Blue Angel eco-label for resource-efficient software.
Performance Evaluation of Software Architectures
Find out early in the development cycle where architectural decisions limit the scalability of your application. The basis is measured data from your system, collected per component or transaction rather than estimated.
Continuous Performance Evaluation
Avoid unpleasant surprises by establishing continuous performance evaluation in your software development process. We integrate the required methods in your deployment pipelines and continuous integration systems.
Load and Performance Tests
Draw the right conclusions, even if you don’t have a test system that is comparable to your production environment. We support you through the execution and analysis of load and performance tests, and in carrying the results over to your production environment.
Capacity Planning and Management
Avoid unnecessary software and hardware investments as well as the risk of outages. Process changes, seasonal peak loads or cloud migrations act directly on performance and resource demand. We help you plan ahead.

Questions
Some of the questions we have answered together with our customers
How can we …
- … quantify the CO₂-eq emissions of individual software components or transactions, instead of estimating across the whole data center?
- … determine an application’s energy consumption when we have no access to the hardware in the cloud?
- … back up emission figures with measurements when customers or reporting obligations ask for them?
- … attribute cost and emissions to the services, teams and users that cause them?
- … see which services account for the largest share of cost and emissions?
- … cut license and infrastructure costs by reducing capacity?
- … reduce servers, CPU cores and instances without making response times worse?
- … serve additional users without response times rising for everyone?
- … improve the response times of the transactions our users feel every day?
