Energy Transition

Key Trends in the Market

A long-term energy transition is underway and accelerating. The world is moving from centralized power generation based on fossil fuels to more distributed generation focused on renewable sources. Commercial buildings, schools, industrial facilities, campuses, airports and other infrastructure segments are not only using energy but also producing it onsite and providing excess power back to the grid, becoming active participants. The supply and demand sides of our energy landscape are increasingly intertwined as complexity increases to meet economic, environmental and equity goals and mandates.

Along with energy optimization, facility stakeholders are seeking better indoor environments through aspects such as design, lighting, temperature and indoor air quality (IAQ), enhancing the productivity, health and comfort of their occupants and lowering operating costs. Parallel to the transition in the building stock is the electrification of transportation and mobility. Electric vehicles and the impact they will have on the grid and decarbonization goals are creating opportunities for companies to generate economic value and growth. This dynamic and complex landscape across the energy value chain continues to evolve toward tomorrow’s needs.
