From consumption to insight: here’s how to increase the energy efficiency of your buildings
Buildings need to be more energy-efficient, smarter, and sustainable. But where do you begin when you manage dozens of installations while comfort remains essential? Energy reporting makes the invisible visible. It not only gives you control over consumption but also provides clear insights for optimisation. Starting in 2027, European Building Automation and Control System (BACS) regulations will require companies to have systems that both monitor energy use and suggest optimisation measures.
Get real-time insight into your energy performance
At Sweco, energy reporting is about more than just numbers. We deliver reliable insights that allow you to target energy efficiency without compromising comfort or safety. In doing so, our experts use proven methods such as the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) and Model Predictive Control (MPC). Thus, we not only map your building’s energy use, we actively manage it. With the deployment of a digital twin – a digital model that simulates your building every 15 minutes – we calculate the optimal control parameters for HVAC installations. This creates a continuous cycle of measuring, learning, and improving.
Up to 30% less energy demand in the short term
Our approach delivers tangible benefits. Thanks to MPC technology, you reduce the energy demand of HVAC systems by an average of 30% in the short term. The benefits extend into the long term too. The digital twin supports the maintenance team with analyses of technical installations. Smart reports allow you to see where and when intervention is needed at a glance. Each quarterly report provides detailed insight into consumption trends, comfort parameters, and the performance evolution of your building.
Ready for decarbonisation and stricter legislation
The urgency is clear: investing in energy management now avoids drastic commitments later. Starting in 2027, existing buildings in Europe will be required to have systems that not only track energy consumption but also recommend optimisation. Sweco helps you prepare for this now with solutions that comply with BACS regulations and go much further. With tools such as Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor (CRREM), we also help you to improve your CO₂ objectives in line with international climate requirements.
