Advizeo is expanding in Italy with a data-driven model that helps building owners and operators reduce consumption, improve performance, and comply with EU regulations.
Building energy management in Italy’s real estate market
In Italy, a landscape shaped by high energy use, fragmented real estate assets, and growing regulatory pressure is making building energy management increasingly central.
The country’s building stock, often outdated from a systems standpoint, requires tools capable of improving energy performance without necessarily relying on immediate structural upgrades.
That is where advizeo comes in, one of the leading companies in energy management. Founded in 2015 and now part of the Hager Group, the company operates across Europe with offices in Italy, France, and Germany, standing out for a model built on the integration of technology and engineering expertise.
This 360-degree approach goes beyond reducing consumption. It turns energy data into a decision-making lever that can affect operating costs, investment planning, and compliance with European regulatory requirements.
From data collection to building energy management
The service ecosystem developed by advizeo is built on a model that structurally connects the world of data collection with that of energy management.
On one side, IoT sensors, submetering systems, BMS platforms, and utility bill data feed a continuous flow of information. On the other, that data is centralized and analyzed to build a coherent view of energy consumption.
This step helps overcome the fragmentation typical of traditional energy management, where information remains scattered across different systems and is difficult to compare.
Building energy management therefore becomes an integrated process in which data is made actionable, making it possible to identify critical issues, optimize energy contracts, and set medium- to long-term strategies.
The advizeo EMS platform
At the center of the model is the advizeo Energy Management System, or EMS, designed to handle the complexity of multi-site real estate portfolios. The system is used by more than 8,000 users and enables the monitoring of about 200,000 measurement points, with total coverage of roughly 85 million square meters of optimized space.
Energy management through the EMS follows a structured process: data connection and centralization, information quality checks, performance analysis, and the activation of corrective actions.
Its cloud-based, multi-meter architecture makes it possible to aggregate data from heterogeneous sources and deliver it in real time, overcoming the limits of isolated systems. The platform provides a complete and consistent view of consumption, an essential element for any energy optimization strategy.
Consumption analysis and the identification of inefficiencies
Once collected and structured, data becomes the starting point for energy performance analysis. Building energy management relies on data science tools that make it possible to compare consumption across buildings, detect anomalies, and identify areas of inefficiency.
Among the most immediate actions are so-called quick wins, such as optimizing contracted power levels or correcting inefficient energy-use behaviors.
Load curve analysis also makes it possible to understand energy-use profiles and identify waste tied to improperly regulated systems, enabling targeted action that reduces consumption without compromising occupant comfort.
The use of data science also makes it possible to turn large volumes of data into useful information for decision-making, while energy engineering translates that information into concrete interventions.
The integration of those two functions improves the accuracy of the analysis, helps anticipate potential critical issues, and optimizes energy performance at scale.
From data to decisions, operational building management
The platform developed by advizeo makes it possible to coordinate interventions, assign responsibilities, and monitor the progress of corrective actions, while also integrating document management tools and return-on-investment calculations.
This approach facilitates dialogue among owners, facility managers, maintenance providers, and energy managers, creating a collaborative ecosystem focused on performance.
Building energy management thus becomes a continuous activity in which every intervention is tracked and assessed based on its impact on consumption and costs.
Continuous monitoring and real-time control of consumption
Another core element is continuous consumption monitoring. The platform analyzes load curves in real time, identifies abnormal peaks, and activates customized alert systems.
Users can set specific thresholds for parameters such as temperature, power, or air quality and receive automatic notifications when those thresholds are exceeded.
That level of control makes it possible to respond quickly, avoiding waste and reducing the risk of prolonged inefficiencies. Continuous monitoring is therefore a fundamental tool for ensuring the stability of energy performance over time.
The integration of EMS, BMS, and energy managers
Within the advizeo system, building energy management is strengthened through the integration of digital platforms and professional expertise. Alongside its EMS, the company offers Building Management System solutions based on open architectures and software hypervisors, enabling centralized and remote management of technical systems.
That is complemented by a 24/7 Energy Center, which allows continuous building oversight and reduces the need for on-site interventions. The role of energy managers fits into this framework through an Energy Management as a Service model, which includes support in defining energy strategies, implementing interventions, and monitoring results.
Regulation and climate targets in building energy management
The European regulatory framework is a determining factor in building energy management. The solutions on offer support compliance with directives such as the EPBD and the EED, as well as the requirements of the EU taxonomy.
In addition, the adoption of technology solutions for energy efficiency is supported by incentive schemes such as Conto Termico 3.0 and the Transizione 5.0 Plan, which encourage the uptake of efficient technologies and the implementation of energy improvement measures.
The integration of digital tools and regulatory requirements makes it possible to align corporate strategies with Europe’s climate goals.
The results achieved highlight the impact of building energy management at the portfolio scale. Advizeo serves more than 250 clients and in 2025 delivered 850 GWh in energy savings for its customers, including private companies and public administrations such as Burger King, Generali, and the City of Cannes.
The company says average savings range between 10% and 20%, achieved even without major structural investments, thanks to optimization and management interventions.
