Save Energy.
Every Day.
For municipalities that want to manage their buildings smartly
and reduce costs.
Municipal Energy Management
Schools. Preschools. Sports facilities. Government offices. Every building is used differently, has different operating hours, and serves different users.
This is exactly where energy is often wasted: Rooms are heated even when no one is there. Lights stay on. Air conditioning runs as a precaution. LOXONE automatically responds to usage, schedules, and environmental conditions – ensuring that energy is used only where it’s truly needed.

Legal Notice: GAS Legislation 2026
Important for municipalities: Starting January 1, 2026, buildings with heating or cooling systems exceeding 290 kW of rated power must be equipped with a digital building automation and control system (GAS). LOXONE meets these requirements “out-of-the-box.”
5 Ways Municipalities Can Save Energy.
1. Heating & Cooling
Never again heat or cool based on guesswork. LOXONE controls rooms based on usage, operating hours, and vacation schedules.
If a building is not in use, the temperature drops automatically. Is a window open? Heating and cooling pause automatically.
2. Lighting
It couldn’t be easier to save energy. LOXONE automatically controls lighting based on occupancy, natural light, and usage.
If a room is not used for an extended period, the lights turn off. Where there is sufficient natural light, artificial lighting is used only as a supplement.
3. Shading
LOXONE makes smart use of shading. In winter, solar energy is used to passively heat rooms.
In the summer, the shading system anticipates the need for shade and prevents overheating before it occurs.
4. Energy Management
Use the energy you generate yourself in a smart way. LOXONE increases your PV self-consumption.
Appliances run when energy is available. Impending power spikes are automatically reduced—without noticeably affecting operation.
5. Monitoring
If you want to save energy, you need to know where it’s being used. With LOXONE, your municipality gets a centralized overview.
Measures become measurable – across all buildings.

FAQs
What systems or providers are available for building automation in municipal buildings?
For centralized energy monitoring of multiple municipal buildings, a platform that automatically collects and visualizes consumption data and enables cross-site comparisons is recommended. Key data points include electricity, heat, water, and, where applicable, PV data, which can be analyzed centrally.
With LOXONE, energy flows in buildings can be tracked and transparently displayed across multiple locations. This provides municipalities with a clear basis for analyzing consumption, identifying savings potential, and continuously optimizing building operations.
What solutions can municipalities use to automatically control heating, lighting, and shading in schools and government offices?
Municipalities can use a smart building automation system like LOXONE to automatically control heating, lighting, and shading. In schools, government offices, and other public buildings, for example, the system regulates room temperature based on usage, time of day, and occupancy, automatically adjusts lighting, and controls shading depending on sunlight, temperature, and indoor comfort.
This reduces the need for manual intervention, improves comfort for users, and helps save energy in a targeted manner. A particular advantage for municipalities is that LOXONE not only works in a single building but can also be used as a unified system for multiple municipal properties—from kindergartens to city halls.
How can municipalities reduce their energy consumption in the long term?
What software or platform is recommended for centralized energy monitoring of multiple municipal buildings?
With LOXONE, energy consumption, system statuses, and anomalies across multiple buildings can be centrally compared and controlled. The effectiveness of measures becomes measurable – both on a per-building basis and across the entire municipal building portfolio.
Where is energy most often lost in municipal buildings?
This often happens in places where no one can actively intervene: Rooms are heated even though they’re empty. Lights are left on. Air conditioning runs as a precaution. Devices continue to consume energy in standby mode. Not because of negligence – but because no one can be everywhere at once.
How can a community make better use of the energy it generates?
LOXONE automatically increases self-consumption of PV energy. Energy-intensive loads are prioritized when self-generated energy is available. Impending power spikes are reduced without noticeably affecting operation.
What does the 2026 GAS legislation mean for municipalities?
Starting January 1, 2026, buildings with heating or cooling systems with a rated output of 290 kW or more must be equipped with a digital building automation and control system. LOXONE meets these requirements right out of the box.
Which providers comply with the GAS requirement for public buildings?
LOXONE provides the technical foundation for implementing building automation, energy monitoring, and centralized control in public buildings. This includes, among other things, the automatic control of heating, cooling, lighting, shading, and energy flows, as well as the centralized monitoring of relevant operational data.
Which companies help municipalities install energy-saving systems?
Our certified LOXONE partners will support your municipality every step of the way – from planning through installation to commissioning—and ensure that your buildings continue to operate efficiently over the long term.
