as part of intelligent building management. The underlying
technologies are networked and remotely controllable
devices as well as automated processes with the option ofsoftware-based control.
This is how digital monitoring and control technologies
are turning offices, schools, hospitals, retirement homes,buildings used for residential or industrial purposes,
hotels and retail spaces into smart buildings. In thesebuildings, important parameters such as light, air quality
or room temperature can be measured and controlled
automatically and, if necessary, centrally.
In contrast to the smart home, in which an individual residential unit is networked, digitisation in the smart building
comprises the entire building.

the scope
The European Green Deal aims to make Europe the first

Between 2021 and 2027, almost one third of the EU budget ofcontinent to become climate neutral by 2050. The goal isover 1.8 billion euros will be spent on climate-related measures.

to emit no more greenhouse gases than our ecosystems
can absorb naturally. To make this goal legally binding,
the Commission has introduced the European Climate
Change Act. By 2030, net greenhouse gas emissions areto be reduced by at least 55% compared to 1990.

Focus on existing andnew buildings
Overall, buildings account for 40 % of energy consumption
and 36 % of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU with similar
figures in most developed countries. This is mainly split
between the phases of construction, use, renovation anddemolition. Energy-efficient buildings are absolutely essential
to achieve the climate targets set. This also includes theretrofitting of virtually all existing buildings.

In this context, the consistent use of building automation
alone could save about 12 % of energy consumption and 10 %less total energy consumptionof CO2 emissions. However, only about 1 % of the national

andbuilding stock is actually renovated each year. Far too little!

10 %less total CO2 emissions

The current renovation rates should be at least doubled.
New EU rules help Member States achieve a more energyefficient building stock and facilitate access to finance.
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive 2010/31/EU(EPBD) and the Energy Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU (EED)
have been revised and will be implemented in national laws.
