From EPBD compliance to smarter buildings

The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive is transforming commercial buildings

Buildings account for 40% of the EU’s energy consumption and 36% of its energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. To accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable built environment, the European Union has introduced the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), setting new requirements for energy efficiency, automation and building intelligence.

For building owners, system integrators and luminaire manufacturers, this represents more than a regulatory change. It creates an opportunity to modernize buildings, reduce operational costs and improve overall building performance.
Inventronics helps customers turn these new requirements into opportunities through intelligent lighting systems designed for the buildings of tomorrow.

Why EPBD matters

• 40% of EU energy consumption comes from buildings
• 36% of EU energy-related emissions are generated by buildings
• 30+ million buildings across Europe are expected to be renovated by 2030
• 2030 all new buildings must be zero-emission

The challenge for commercial buildings

• Energy efficiency – Buildings must reduce energy consumption and improve overall performance to meet increasingly ambitious sustainability targets.
• Automation – Automatic controls are becoming essential for optimizing building operation and supporting regulatory compliance.
• Data and interoperability – Buildings need access to actionable data and seamless integration between systems to enable monitoring, reporting and continuous optimization.

Why lighting is part of the solution

Lighting is no longer just about illumination. Modern lighting systems play a critical role in helping buildings achieve their energy and performance goals. Through occupancy-based control, daylight harvesting and intelligent automation, lighting systems can significantly reduce energy consumption while improving occupant comfort and well-being. Connected lighting also provides valuable operational data that supports energy monitoring, reporting and smarter building management.

How Inventronics creates value

Inventronics offers both wireless (HubSense) and wired (DALI PRO 2 IoT) that can operate both as lighting control systems and/ or can be integrated a BMS systems. Both systems are based on industry standards (DALI 2, BT NLC), ensuring interoperability with 3^rd party products!

Real outcomes for building owners

By combining intelligent control, energy monitoring and seamless system integration, Inventronics solutions help reduce energy consumption, improve occupant comfort and provide valuable building insights. The result is a more efficient, future-ready building with lower operating costs and simplified maintenance.
