Commercial Energy Management
Measure. Control. Optimize.
You Can’t Manage What You Can’t See.
In many businesses, energy consumption is spread across systems, locations, and shifts – and no one has a complete picture. Inefficiencies only become apparent when the bill arrives.
LOXONE makes energy consumption visible – in real time, across all areas.
Where Energy Management Makes a Difference in the Commercial Sector
Office Building
Heating, cooling, ventilation, and lighting are the building’s largest energy consumers. LOXONE coordinates these systems and, at the same time, provides the documentation required by legal regulations (such as the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), which mandates building automation systems).
Hospitality & Food Service
Energy flows to where guests are – and nowhere else. LOXONE reduces operating costs without compromising comfort.
Retail & Chain Stores
Many locations, one approach: LOXONE makes energy consumption and costly peak loads at each location visible and comparable – the foundation for informed decisions.
Production & Industry
Machines, compressors, and startup processes generate load spikes that drive up the cost of electricity. LOXONE detects them and takes action before they occur – without slowing down production.
Here’s How You Can Save on Energy Costs at Your Company with LOXONE
Intelligent Energy Measurement
Only when consumption, generation, and peak loads can be measured can costs be reduced in a targeted manner. That is why LOXONE tracks every energy flow.
Heating, Cooling, Ventilation
These are the largest controllable energy consumers in nonresidential buildings – and thus offer the greatest potential for savings – resulted in a up to 65% reduction in heating output.
Reduce Peak Loads
For businesses that track energy usage, the highest-consumption quarter-hour determines the grid costs. LOXONE keeps them low – automatically.
Self-Generation & Storage Utilization
Solar panels and storage systems are specifically used for self-consumption.
Comply With Legal Requirements
LOXONE automatically provides the energy data required for the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the building automation efficiency classes specified in EN ISO 52120.

FAQs
What is energy management in the commercial sector?
Energy management in commercial settings combines the measurement, control, and analysis of energy consumption within a facility – with the goal of reducing costs, avoiding peak loads, and meeting legal reporting requirements. LOXONE handles this automatically as part of the overall building automation system.
What should companies look for when selecting an energy management solution - and which features are essential?
Two things are key when making a selection:
- manufacturer-independent integration
- retrofittability in existing buildings
The system should include at least the following features:
- real-time energy consumption measurement
- automatic load balancing and peak load shaving
- integration of PV and storage systems
- automated reporting to meet legal reporting requirements
LOXONE combines all of this in a single platform – vendor-neutral, local, and integrated into the overall building automation system.
What is a capacity charge - and why does a peak load cost so much?
Larger businesses pay two components for the grid: a usage rate per kilowatt-hour consumed and a capacity rate per kilowatt of the highest measured capacity. This highest quarter-hour determines the capacity rate for a long billing period. In other words, consumption itself does not become more expensive – a single peak determines a price that remains in effect for a long time.
Do I need special measuring equipment for this?
The foundation is reliable tracking 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 an energy management system be retrofitted in an existing building?
Yes. Using Air products (wireless) and meter interfaces, you can integrate existing technology and retrofit your energy management system – without having to break through walls or run new wiring.
Does LOXONE ensure compliance with legal requirements?
LOXONE supports compliance with regulations such as the EPBD by automatically collecting the relevant energy data and providing it in the preferred file format – as part of the overall building automation system, not as a standalone solution.
