How ready is Europe for the “Smart Building Revolution”?Maarten De Groote

Europe needs to accelerate the smart and sustainable energy transition

Fossil fuel-basedPowered by
renewable energy
Highly-energy-consuming
Efficient & consumer focused
Buildings recognise, predict, and respond to needs, lifestyles, and habits of occupants
Actual vs designed energy consumption

10 principles for smart buildings in a decarbonised energy system
• All principles important separately, but most effectively considered together
• Apart from principle 1, the sequence is not in order of importance
Defining a smart building
A smart building is highly energy efficient and covers its very low energy demand to a large extent by on-site or
district-system-driven renewable energy sources.
A smart building:
• stabilises and drives a faster decarbonisation of the energy system through energy storage and demand-
side flexibility
• empowers its users and occupants with control over the energy flows
• recognises and reacts to users’ and occupants’ needs such as comfort, health and well-being, as well as
operational performance.

Building Envelope Final energy consumptionAbility to keep adequately warm
Renewable energy uptake
• Share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption
• More RES = incentives for storage, demand flexibility and a dynamic energy market
• No evaluation on the national renewable energy targets
Demand response availability
• Indication of the authorisation of DR and aggregation of demand
• FI, FR and UK are the leading countries
• Reducing peak consumption to avoid grid imbalance
• Enabling security of supply, renewable energy and increased market competition
Smart meter deployment
• SE, FI and IT have completed their roll-out of smart meters
• Smart meters empower end-users with a better understanding and control over their energy consumption
• A two-way communication between the consumer and the utility company should be enabled
• Accurate measurement is a requirement to valorisedemand response services
Is Europe ready for smart buildings?
• No country is fully ready
• SE, FI, DK and NL are the leading countries
• Austria ranked 7th, Germany 8th
• Overall low scoreo Rigid regulatory frameworks,
e.g. demand response o Lack of investments, e.g.
building energy performance or smart meters
o Recent market penetration of some technologies, e.g. building energy storage and electric vehicles

Smartness indicatorEPBD
According to the European Commission:
“The indicator should cover: Features which enhance the ability of building occupants and the building itself to react to comfort of operational requirements, take part in demand response and contribute to the smooth and safe operation of various energy systems and district infrastructures to which the building is connected.”
