Unlock significant energy savings with smart building automation

Buildings account for 40% of the EU’s energy use, making efficiency upgrades more crucial than ever. The newly adopted EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) sets ambitious targets, and optimizing your heating, cooling, and ventilation (HVAC BACS) can help you comply while significantly reducing energy costs.

Energy efficiency is no longer just a goal, it’s a necessity. As new regulations come into force to reach our climate policy goals and energy costs rise, building owners face increasing pressure to optimize performance, reduce emissions, and enhance sustainability. The good news? We can turn this into an opportunity and the solutions already exist.

Our expert paper explores how Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS) for HVAC are transforming the way buildings operate. These intelligent systems integrate room controls, software, and automation to maximize heating, cooling, and ventilation efficiency, adapting in real time to usage patterns and building upgrades.

The paper unfolds:

How HVAC BACS upgrades can cut energy consumption by 15–38% with a return on investment in just 1–3 years
The impact of smart automation on Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings, increasing property value and reducing costs
How BACS help buildings comply with the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and meet Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS)

With rising energy prices and stricter sustainability requirements, now is the time to future-proof our buildings. This paper provides the insights and best practices needed to turn compliance into a competitive advantage—helping reducing costs, increase asset value, and create more comfortable, efficient spaces.

Take the first step toward smarter, more sustainable building management.
