The evaluation of technical systems using the VALERI method offers companies a comprehensive and legally compliant way of documenting economic efficiency and investment decisions in accordance with the Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG). The EnEfG requires companies with high energy consumption to systematically analyse their energy saving potential. We offer you an assessment in accordance with DIN EN 17463 (VALERI) - the standardised method for a reliable cost assessment of industrial assets that takes both technical and financial aspects into account.
Detailed legal requirements of the Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG) for energy-intensive companies
Since 2023, the Energy Efficiency Act has required companies with an annual final energy consumption of over 7.5 GWh to operate an energy or environmental management system. This includes the collection and evaluation of economic energy efficiency measures and the consideration of total costs in the life cycle of technical systems. A valid, transparent assessment methodology is required - this is where the DIN EN 17463 (VALERI) standard comes in, enabling a comprehensive analysis of the technical and economic aspects.
Our specialised service - VALERI-compliant assessment of technical systems for sustainable decisions
We offer you the economic assessment of technical systems in accordance with the DIN EN 17463 (VALERI) standard, tailored to the requirements of the Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG) and your operational practice.

Advantages of using the VALERI standard for your company
Transparency and legal certainty in energy efficiency assessment
Applying the VALERI standard provides a reliable basis for business decisions when dealing with technical systems. It offers the following advantages in particular:
By using the VALERI standard, you create the conditions for a well-founded, legally compliant and economically sensible energy efficiency strategy.
Practical application of the VALERI assessment in companies: Typical scenarios and benefits
Typical applications of the VALERI assessment include the documentation of an "economically assessed savings potential" according to EnEfG, the decision to modernise or replace systems and the creation of provisions based on reliable residual values. Assessment documents are important for auditors, banks or funding organisations and help you to communicate and implement your energy efficiency strategies effectively.
Relevant target groups for the VALERI assessment: Who benefits the most?
The VALERI assessment is particularly relevant for industrial companies with high energy consumption, energy-intensive production companies, utilities and grid operators as well as environmental and energy management managers. Operators of old systems or systems that need to be reset also benefit from this assessment method, as it provides a sound basis for strategic decisions and investments.
Example scenario
EnEfG-compliant assessment of a compressed air system to optimise energy efficiency
A medium-sized company operates four older compressed air systems with high energy requirements. As part of the requirements of the Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG), an economic assessment is carried out in accordance with DIN EN 17463 (VALERI).

Your added value:
The analysis provides a reliable basis for investment decisions, enables legally compliant documentation of your energy efficiency measures and supports communication with auditors, funding bodies and authorities.
Frequently asked questions about the assessment of technical systems and the Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG)
Question 1: Is the application of the VALERI method mandatory under the EnEfG?
Answer: No, but VALERI is currently the only Europe-wide standardised method that fully meets the requirements for economic assessment and residual value analysis and thus provides a comprehensive and well-founded basis for your energy efficiency strategies.
Question 2: What distinguishes the VALERI method from a classic investment calculation?
Answer: VALERI also considers technical substance, service life and standard values - it combines technical and financial perspectives for better decisions and offers a comprehensive analysis that goes beyond the classic investment calculation.
Question 3: How quickly can a valuation be carried out using the VALERI method?
Answer: Depending on the scope, within a few weeks - we start with an initial meeting and an on-site survey (or based on your digital asset structure) to ensure a quick and efficient valuation.
More efficiency for your projects - with our additional services.
Companies must optimise energy management in order to achieve savings targets and remain competitive. The keys are energy policy, planning, controls, audits, communication and networks. DMT ENCOS provides support.
Process management optimises technical processes, increases energy efficiency and reduces costs. A holistic approach takes capacity utilisation, use of resources and environmental compatibility into account. DMT ENCOS supports companies in this endeavour.
DMT ENCOS carries out systematic energy audits to increase energy efficiency and reduce costs. The process includes data collection, analysis and a final report. Companies benefit from tax relief and compliance.
DMT ENCOS has many years of extensive experience with energy efficiency studies. Thanks to this experience, our experts can identify and quantify optimisation potential that goes beyond typical solutions.
Pinch point refers to the critical point in a process at which energy efficiency is maximised by identifying and optimising heat transfer bottlenecks.
More than 90 % of chemical processes and separation methods rely on fossil fuels in an unsustainable way and contribute to climate change through significant CO2 emissions.
Most liquid mixtures in refineries or petrochemical processes require separation into fractions with specific boiling point ranges or high-purity individual components.
Increase energy efficiency and reduce primary energy consumption by up to 40 %. Reduce your energy costs with intelligent heat recovery. We use pinch point analysis to identify potential savings in your processes - for maximum energy efficiency and a sustainable future.
