PARIS, July 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Thierry Ehrmann, CEO Artmarket.com and founder of Artprice is honored to announce that Artprice.com by Artmarket comes this year to 1st place in the ranking of companies with less than 50 registered employees in the Mobility Challenge of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. This award was presented by Frédéric Aguilera, V. President of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region.
“This victory confirms the recognition of our recurring efforts to drastically limit the carbon footprint of our economic activity while accelerating its development.”
Global warming and its negative impacts do not fail to feed the daily news worldwide. The month of June 2023 has just been announced as being the hottest on record, a heat wave is announced in the coming days and it is clear that eco-responsible behavior is expected at all levels to best preserve the achievements and not accentuate the slide towards a point of no return.
Artmarket.com is particularly sensitive to these issues, and has been for years. The CSR report is very positive for Artprice by Artmarket and has become a true model through its reliable, scientific and sustainable avant-garde solutions.
Artmarket.com has notably optimized the electricity consumption of its data centers. The use of Artificial Intelligence while increasing Artmarket.com’s revenues, is gradually reducing its operating costs.
Indeed, the Intuitive Artmarket ® AI will provide the exact answer to the user’s request much more quickly. This time saving will necessarily reduce energy consumption, and this is fully in line with the eco-responsible philosophy according to Artprice by Artmarket.com.
Thierry Ehrmann, CEO of Artmarket.com and Founder of Artprice:
“Since 2011, we have developed processes to optimize the use of our servers, by adapting the power required and reducing the energy consumption of 40% of Artprice’s Data Centers, with the retained principle of the micro-grid which allows better exploitation of production units, another choice of multiple technologies and the preponderance of renewable energies. The annual objective is to increase our overall computing power by approximately 400%, which is mainly ultra-secure data storage (SAN) with an annual drop of 3 to 5% from the previous year’s benchmark.
Through its commitment to this micro-grid, Artprice by Artmarket’s Data Centers are part of a responsible and shared environmental logic, for a real energy transition without risk for Artprice’s processes by analyzing the evolution of renewable energies, with regard to new applied sciences and ongoing research with constant strategic monitoring.
Given the specific and generous geography of our head office (the Domaine de la Source, built in 1630 which includes a multitude of springs coming from the surrounding high hills), we are developing, with partners, climate engineering that is close to the old technique of artesian wells which are a method of capturing water consisting of taking water under natural pressure from the sources of the “Domaine de la Source”, where our head office is located.
The sources are on an average of 5 bars (500K PA), contained in the layers of our 7,500 m² basements, reintegrated into their natural circuit, without any sampling or water treatment, with patents that will be submitted by Artprice and GroupeServer, to respond in an eco-responsible way to the current energy crisis, which has only just begun.
As data centers around the world seek to reduce their carbon footprint, the best path so far, according to Artprice, is immersion cooling. The dominant idea of Arprice by Artmarket is to eventually immerse the servers vertically in a tank filled with a heat transfer fluid. The liquid heated by the servers is sent to a cooling tower which can evacuate the heat, to potentially feed an external heating circuit, and send the cooled liquid back to the servers, before starting a new cycle.
The current state of science specifies that the absolutely immersed data center makes almost no noise and requires very little specific machinery.
As a reminder, Artprice by Artmarket has twice consecutively obtained (rare occurrence for companies listed on a regulated market) the state label “Innovative Company”, subject to strict eligibility, awarded by the Banque Publique d’Investissement (BPI)
Artprice’s eco-responsible approach is also present in the analysis of the travel of its employees.
It is also obviously the energy consumption inherent in the travel of employees and their carbon footprint, to get to their place of work from their home, and to leave, which is the most impactful aspect for the environment. Artprice has equipped its car parks with electric terminals and encourages the soft modes of its employees by various means.
This is why Artprice.com has been making its employees aware of environmental issues for more than 20 years and is taking part in the Challenge Mobilité, an initiative of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Every year since 2011, the Challenge Mobilité offers establishments the opportunity to organise, internally and for one day, a collective challenge on the theme of mobility.
It is a real tool for promoting and raising awareness of alternative modes of transport to the individual car intended for all companies, administrations or associations. Indeed, on D-Day, everyone is invited to leave their private car in the garage in favor of walking, cycling, public transport or carpooling to make their home-to-work journey.
For companies, this “turnkey” event helps to stimulate, promote and energize their initiatives in the field of travel (such as mobility plans, for example).
