Sustainable IoT solutions for global megatrends

In a world characterized by climate change, changing working and living environments, and stricter regulations, sustainable energy use is becoming increasingly important. EnOcean shows with energy self-sufficient solutions and service offerings how deeply sustainability is anchored in our corporate DNA. By focusing on Internet of Things (IoT)-based solutions, we address three critical megatrends: energy efficiency, space optimization, and wellbeing, ensuring a livable future for generations to come.

Global megatrends: focus on energy efficiency, space optimization and well-being

Sustainable management is a key task for companies and society today. The aim is to reduce energy consumption and cut CO₂ emissions. EnOcean has developed sustainable, IoT-based solutions powered by alternative, self-sufficient environmental energy sources. These innovations are the key to improved space optimization, enhanced well-being and increased energy efficiency. Our energy harvesting technology has already prevented over 1.5 million tons of CO₂ emissions (as of April 2024). With more than 20 million sensors sold, we’ve proven that modern room optimization and efficient energy use are a win-win situation for companies and the environment.

Space optimization and energy efficiency in buildings and industrial plants

The need to reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions particularly affects owners and landlords of houses, buildings and industrial facilities. The use of alternative energy sources creates smarter and more sustainable working and living environments in new and existing buildings. Predictive maintenance as well as condition-based maintenance and retrofitting also help to significantly reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions. Some examples:

  • Energy efficiency: EnOcean enables multi-layered energy optimization based on current data. Intelligent lighting and heating controls save energy in unused rooms and improve the overall energy efficiency of buildings.
  • Space optimization: EnOcean offers innovative concepts for flexible office utilization based on new working time models such as desk sharing. This ensures a flexible, healthy and comfortable working environment while increasing energy efficiency through intelligent building automation.
  • Wellbeing: Automated adjustment of temperature, lighting and air quality significantly increases well-being and productivity in working environments. These smart solutions also contribute to energy efficiency.

Shaping a sustainable future through IoT innovation

With innovative solutions to reduce energy costs and optimize office space, EnOcean strives to ensure a future worth living for generations to come. We see alternative energy sources and IoT solutions as the most important keys to reducing energy consumption and CO₂ emissions. Our comprehensive approach combines energy harvesting technology, high-quality sensors, cloud-based IoT connectivity, an end-to-end approach and a large partner ecosystem, positioning our business model at the forefront of sustainable innovation.

By embracing these solutions, we’re not just optimizing spaces and energy use – we’re cultivating environments that enhance wellbeing and productivity while significantly reducing our environmental footprint.
