Energy consumption reduction in building
The EU has enacted directives aimed at cutting building energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Buildings not meeting these standards could face financial fines, usage restrictions, or must comply with certain requirements. AVEVA software delivers sophisticated tools for data oversight and reporting to aid in consumption optimization.

Presentation
Cost reduction, minimized environmental footprint, and enhanced comfort.
The main challenge in optimizing and reducing building energy consumption often lies in the complexity of existing systems and infrastructures. Integrating effective monitoring and optimization solutions can be difficult, especially in environments where equipment is heterogeneous and data is dispersed. This is crucial, as greater energy efficiency means lower costs, a minimized environmental footprint, and improved comfort.
Our supervisors access all systems from a central location and optimize them through the AVEVA platform.
Your Challenges and Stakes
Buildings are often equipped with a variety of complex systems, such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting and electrical equipment. Coordinating and optimizing these systems effectively to reduce energy consumption can be challenging, especially in older buildings where equipment may be obsolete or not compatible with modern technologies.
The amount of data generated by energy monitoring and control systems can be overwhelming. Collecting, storing and analyzing this data requires specific tools and skills. What's more, the data may be scattered across different systems and equipment, making it even more difficult to manage and use it to make informed energy optimization decisions.
Although optimizing energy consumption can lead to long-term savings, the initial costs associated with implementing energy efficiency solutions can be a deterrent for many organizations. Clearly demonstrating the return on investment (ROI) and short- and long-term financial benefits of energy optimization initiatives is therefore essential to encourage the adoption of such solutions.

They have optimized their energy consumption
“As our regional supervisors can now access all heating systems from a central location, they will be able to successively optimize the systems one by one. Optimum efficiency of a heating system is only achieved after a few months of careful adjustments. This level of optimized operation can cut energy consumption by around 15 to 18 percent.”

“The project is going to get us a long way toward the goal. We’re using the AVEVA PI System for improved capacity planning; gathering all this data and creating baselines eventually empowers us to design our systems better. We’ve achieved some of the more obvious efficiencies, but to reach our 2025 goal we need to go deeper. That increasingly requires things like user engagement, campus engagement, and optimization. In the last five years, the use of real-time data and the AVEVA PI System has become increasingly integral to our operations and our goals.”
