Energy management for businesses
Measure. Control. Save.
What you can’t see, you can’t control.
In many businesses, consumption is spread across systems, sites and shifts – and nobody has the full picture. Inefficiencies only become apparent when the bill arrives.
LOXONE makes energy consumption visible – in real time, across all areas.
Where energy management makes the difference in commercial buildingsÂ
Office buildings
Heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting are the biggest consumers in a building. LOXONE coordinates them and at the same time provides the evidence required by legal requirements (for example the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive EPBD, which makes building automation systems mandatory).
Hotels & hospitality
Energy flows to where guests are – and nowhere else. LOXONE lowers operating costs without compromising comfort.
Retail and branch businesses
Many sites, one logic: LOXONE makes the consumption and costly peak loads of every site visible and comparable – the basis for targeted decisions.
Production & industry
Machines, compressors and start-ups create peak loads that drive up the demand charge. LOXONE detects them and intervenes before they occur – without slowing down production.
How LOXONE helps your business save energy costs
Measure energy consumption intelligently
Costs can only be reduced in a targeted way once consumption, generation and peak loads are measurable. That’s why LOXONE records every energy flow.
Heating, cooling, ventilation
In non-residential buildings, these are the biggest controllable consumers – and therefore the biggest lever. This retrofit project shows a 65% saving in heating output
Reduce peak loads
For businesses with power metering, the highest quarter-hour determines the grid costs. LOXONE keeps it low – automatically.
Self-generation & battery use
PV and batteries are used specifically for self-consumption.
Meet legal requirements
LOXONE automatically provides the energy data for the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the building automation efficiency classes according to EN ISO 52120.

FAQsÂ
What is commercial energy management?
Commercial energy management combines the measurement, control and evaluation of energy consumption in a business – with the aim of reducing costs, avoiding peak loads and meeting legal reporting obligations. LOXONE takes care of this automatically, as part of the entire building automation.
What should businesses look for when choosing an energy management solution – and which functions are a must?
Two things count when choosing a solution:
- manufacturer-independent integration
- retrofittability in existing buildings
As a minimum, the following functions should be included:
- real-time consumption measurement
- automatic load distribution and peak shaving
- integration of PV and batteries
- automated reporting for legal reporting obligations
LOXONE combines all of this in one platform – manufacturer-independent, local and as part of the entire building automation.
What is a demand charge – and why is a peak load so expensive?
Larger businesses pay two components for the grid: an energy charge per kilowatt hour consumed and a demand charge per kilowatt of the highest measured power. This highest quarter-hour sets the demand charge for a long billing period. So it’s not the consumption that gets more expensive – a single peak determines a price that keeps running for a long time.
Do I need special metering equipment for this?
The basis is reliable recording of energy flows. LOXONE offers several ways to do this: direct measurement via energy meters, indirect measurement via current transformers, and reading existing meters via interfaces.
Can energy management also be retrofitted in existing buildings?
Yes. With the Air products (wireless) and meter interfaces, you can integrate existing technology and retrofit energy management – without chiseling open walls or rewiring.
Does LOXONE ensure compliance with legal requirements?
LOXONE supports compliance with requirements such as the EPBD by automatically recording the relevant energy data and providing it automatically in the preferred file format – as part of the entire building automation, not as a standalone solution.
