The EPBD is coming – industrial companies must act now
The EU is tightening its climate targets and the new EPBD (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive) places a particular focus on industrial buildings. Companies are facing specific requirements that must be implemented in the coming years. Lighting is often the most effective way to meet the requirements and achieve EPBD compliance.
EPBD: New Requirements for Non-Residential Buildings
The EPBD requires companies to significantly reduce the energy consumption of their buildings. Specifically, this means:
- 16% reduction in energy consumption by 2030
- Smart sensor technology becomes standard
- Automatic detection of presence and movement
- Lighting control based on natural daylight
- Demand-based lighting through flexible zoning Zoneneinteilung
- Transparent analysis and continuous monitoring of energy consumption
The EPBD will be particularly relevant for non-residential buildings with a rated capacity for heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems exceeding 290 kW. In such cases, mandatory automation of central building systems, such as lighting systems, will take effect starting at the end of 2027.
Lighting as a key cost-saving measure
In many industrial and logistics buildings, lighting is one of the largest sources of energy consumption and thus a key factor in meeting EPBD requirements. This is exactly where tempLED comes in.
With highly efficient LED systems, intelligent controls and solutions such as LEDelligence, tempLED enables:
significant reduction in energy consumption
demand-based lighting control through sensors and daylight utilization
real-time monitoring and transparent analysis of consumption
- Documentation
In this way, lighting becomes an effective tool for reducing costs and operating buildings sustainably and in compliance with EPBD.
Make your building EPBD-compliant with tempLED systems
The good news is that there is a quick and cost-effective solution. With modern LED lighting and smart lighting management, you can save up to 70% on lighting energy costs without the need for a costly full-scale renovation.
tempLED offers smart lighting solutions that deliver immediate, measurable savings while laying the groundwork for future smart building concepts.
Now is the perfect time to modernize your lighting system and maximize its impact. Submit your project inquiry today!
