19、eas,which means property owners need to use the space they have much more effectively,building up data intelligence to monitor supply and demand.Environmental concerns:36%of the worlds CO2 emissions and 40%of its energy consumption are related to buildings.1 At the same time,the EU has the target of

20、 cutting greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55%by 2030.As a result,regulators are pressuring property owners to implement new policies to reduce their environmental footprint.Energy inefficient buildings:Three quarters of Europes buildings are not energy efficient today,and more than a third(35%)o

21、f the buildings in the EU are over 50 years old.2 These buildings are not likely to be upgraded any time soon only 0.4%to 1.2%of the building stock is renovated annually,depending on the country.3 Three quarters of Europes buildings are not energy efficient.Growing expectations from tenants:In“cold

22、rent”markets,where the tenant pays separately for their energy use,tenants feel the cost of energy inefficient buildings in their wallets,especially with rising energy prices.They are also increasingly aware of the environmental impact energy-inefficient buildings have.These growing expectations of

23、society have only put additional pressure on property owners and facility managers to optimize energy usage.4 9Together,all the above challenges highlight the need for energy management and optimization improvement.Turning your building into a smart building enables that.Ericsson|Connected Buildings

24、 Energy ManagementLack of digital control:Property owners in traditional buildings also have limited digital control of their facilities,which means managers are forced to make expensive on-site visits to properties to resolve issues that a right digital solution could address remotely.This creates

25、problems for tenants as well,because it extends the amount of time between making a complaint about temperature levels and their resolution.With digital controls,facility managers can provide faster response to e.g.temperature complaints and,in many cases,can address potential issues before tenants

26、even realize there is one.10Its no surprise that the number of cellular IoT connections are increasing exponentially.Promising vast potential to create value in terms of improved efficiency,sustainability and safety for industries and society5,IoT connections are expected to grow from 1.7 billion in

27、 2020 to 5.9 billion by 2025,which is a 57%compounded annual growth rate(CAGR).6 In 2021,broadband IoT(4G/5G)overtook 2G and 3G as the technology that connects the largest share of all cellular IoT connected devices,accounting for 44%of all connections.By the end of 2027,40%of cellular IoT connectio

35、les the digital control necessary for temperature regulation,ventilation control,refrigeration,lighting,HVAC,security Ericsson|Connected Buildings Energy Managementand other systems by installing eSim sensors throughout each building,both new and old.Once installed,these sensors send real-time data

36、through cellular IoT connectivity for energy monitoring,management and optimization.As a result,user comfort is maximized while minimizing energy consumption.8 Electricity,heat and water consumption data is fed into a platform,which then analyzes the energy peaks to streamline energy consumption,mak

37、ing remote adjustments and creatingself-learning optimization.14The study examined a Northern European residential property owner with 35 properties covering 140,000 total square meters over 1,680 apartments.The organization has a total annual revenue of 14,360,000.Kiona installed sensors and smart

38、meters throughout the units and buildings,which they would manage with Kiona Edge,that comes with a self learning AI engine connected to all buildings,allowing full control of indoor climate and optimized energy use.Edge gathers data in real-time and connects to installations through sensors and con

39、trol units,offering a tailored control strategy for each unique building.The results were striking.In this use case,the Northern European residential property owner was able to gain about 158,000 in gross annual value from energy management and optimization.Annual energy costs were reduced by 10%and

41、stated,75%of all buildings in the EU are energy inefficient.Optimized energy use also represents 87%of gross annual value,which is why property owners and facility managers are choosing to upgrade their buildings to smart buildings.Optimizing energy use stems from two major capabilities:The first is

42、 the ability to lower the temperature for the entire building.Property owners typically work off average temperatures in properties,so when a few apartments have heating issues,owners need to increase the temperature for the entire building to keep all of them at a target average temperature.With en

43、ergy management,owners can identify the apartments with heating issues,fix them,and decrease the temperature for the entire building,reducing costs.The second benefit is optimized heating.For example,the outside temperature is typically at its coldest right before dawn,so theres no need to run heati

44、ng functions hard to counteract this cold weather,because it will soon change.By working with such patterns in mind,energy optimization can decrease costs by 10%annually.Addressing the biggest issue:the heatingCutting costs through optimized energy managementEricsson|Connected Buildings Energy Manag

45、ementTransforming properties into buildings that work for youIncrease property value while loweringCO2 emissionsIn this specific case,deployment of Kiona solutions,powered by connectivity management from Ericsson,also creates a one-time gross increase in property value of 263,000.Because energy cost

46、s represent a substantial amount of cost to property owners and tenants each year,energy management and optimization increases property 16Ericsson|Connected Buildings Energy Managementvalue.Additionally,an estimated 5%of property value is tied to the operational costs of the building,of which a thir

47、d is assumed to be related to energy costs.By reducing energy costs,the property value can be increased due to better margins and are often calculated with a multiple above 10.Outside of Northern Europe,property owners and facility managers will see additional benefits,such as lower CO2 taxes on ene

48、rgy use in markets like Germany.Lower energy usage will reduce this kind of tax burden.The property owners can also benefit from improved financing terms thanks to better energy ratings.Furthermore,energy optimization can qualify properties for attractive green loans.Theres also a lower risk of stra

49、nded assets,which lose value due to climate change and the global transition to a low-carbon economy.However,with lower energy usage,properties can receive better energy ratings,reducing stranded asset risk in markets where properties with poor ratings are difficult to sell.Finally,while this study

50、focused specifically on commercially operated residential buildings,similar solutions can be applied for commercial and industrial buildings,though products are typically more technical and specialized in these sectors.For example,grocery stores can install IoT solutions to monitor temperature more

51、efficiently,which reduces both costs and food waste.17Ericsson|Connected Buildings Energy ManagementDid you know?5%of property value is tied to the operational costs of the building.18The residential property sector faces serious challenges around energy usage and management.Cellular IoT has the pot

52、ential to unlock significant business value to energy management and optimization for smart residential buildings,providing tangible benefits to all stakeholders:reduced costs and increased property value for owners,more efficient and remote operations for facility managers,and more responsive,comfo

53、rtable residences for tenants.Those property owners that invest in connected smart building technologies now will be more competitive and profitable in the future,reducing the risk of older buildings becoming stranded assets.Cellular IoT connectivity is a foundational technology to empower smart bui
