METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENERGY CONSUMPTION MONITORING IN AN ICT ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A method for monitoring energy consumption in an ICT environment, wherein the ICT environment (1) comprises a plurality of energy consumption components (2, 3), wherein at least partly the components (2, 3) comprise means for monitoring energy consumption. An energy consumption monitoring controller (7) having an assigned specific energy consumption model for providing and / or deriving one or more energy metrics for each component (2, 3) from the current performance metrics of the components (2, 3) Identifying a change in the ICT environment 1 and / or a change related to the ICT environment 1 by performing an assessment of available energy consumption monitoring techniques, both facility-based and model-based, and Based on the results of the evaluation, one or more energy consumption monitoring techniques that best meet the changes in the ICT environment (1) according to a predetermined policy are employed. Characterized by the step of selecting. In addition, a corresponding monitoring system is disclosed.
