Sustainability in action: building automation and control systems

The future of sustainable construction is just around the corner, bringing with it a promising revolution in our buildings. With new guidelines coming into force for non-residential buildings by the end of 2025, there is an emphasis on efficiency and environmental awareness through building automation and control systems.

These guidelines apply to buildings with heating and/or cooling systems with a rated output of more than 290 kW, and they set clear requirements for energy consumption, building efficiency and intercommunication between equipment. But what does this mean in concrete terms?

To begin with, these systems are expected to carry out close monitoring of energy consumption, provide ongoing analysis and the ability to make adjustments if necessary. This provides an opportunity not only to detect inefficiencies, but also to improve the overall energy efficiency of the building.

Moreover, they need to communicate with other technical systems and devices within the building. This opens the door to a more integrated approach to energy management, where different systems work together to achieve an optimal level of efficiency.

The mandatory introduction of building automation and control systems is not only a step towards a more sustainable future, but also offers numerous benefits for building owners and managers. These include cost savings and improved operational efficiency, clearly demonstrating that sustainability goes hand in hand with business success.

In short, building automation marks a powerful step towards a more sustainable and efficient construction industry. It is the beginning of a new era in which sustainability plays a central role in every stage of the construction process.
