Shelly Group Sees Growing Demand for Intelligent Building Automation as Summer Heatwaves Intensify

Shelly Group SE, a provider of IoT and smart building solutions, anticipates that the increasing frequency and intensity of summer heatwaves will boost demand for intelligent building automation, especially for cooling, shading, and energy management. The company, based in Sofia, Bulgaria, and listed on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange and Frankfurt Stock Exchange (XETRA: SLYG), sees this trend as a key long-term growth driver.

According to the European Commission, buildings account for approximately 40% of total energy consumption in the European Union, with around 80% of residential energy used for heating, cooling, and domestic hot water. The International Energy Agency (IEA) identifies space cooling as one of the fastest-growing energy applications worldwide in the building sector. As temperatures rise and heatwaves become more common, this trend is expected to accelerate.

Shelly Group’s solutions address these challenges by enabling intelligent control and automation of energy-intensive systems such as air conditioning, ventilation, and automated shading, while continuously monitoring energy consumption. Key products include the Gen4 Series smart relays, the Shelly Pro line of energy meters for real-time electricity monitoring, and temperature and humidity sensors that facilitate demand-driven control. Through deep integration with energy management platforms from leading photovoltaic and battery storage providers, Shelly solutions also allow for intelligent use of self-generated solar energy. Air conditioning, shading, and other loads can operate automatically when excess solar power is available, increasing self-consumption and efficiency.

Wolfgang Kirsch, Co-CEO of Shelly Group, stated: “The requirements placed on buildings are fundamentally changing. In addition to efficiently controlling heating systems, the intelligent management of cooling, shading and energy consumption is becoming increasingly important. Buildings will need not only to use energy efficiently, but also to manage it intelligently and automatically based on actual demand.” He highlighted that combining photovoltaic systems, battery storage, and intelligent automation during summer months creates opportunities to maximize locally generated renewable energy, reduce costs, and improve comfort.

Shelly Group’s open product ecosystem supports both residential and professional environments, and the company sees attractive long-term growth opportunities in the building automation market driven by electrification, energy efficiency requirements, and demand for intelligent automation. The intelligent retrofit of existing buildings offers significant potential for greater energy efficiency, comfort, and sustainability.
