Rising Demand for Intelligent Building Automation Amid Heatwaves

Shelly Group SE, headquartered in Sofia, Bulgaria, predicts a growing trend in intelligent building automation due to intensifying summer heatwaves. Increased focus is now on the smart control of cooling, shading, and energy use, rather than just heating. The European Commission highlights that buildings consume about 40% of the EU's energy, mainly for heating and cooling. The International Energy Agency notes that space cooling is rapidly expanding globally.

Shelly's smart building solutions cater to this need by offering products like the Gen4 Series smart relays, Shelly Pro energy meters, and sensors for efficient energy management. These products integrate seamlessly with existing smart home ecosystems, aligning with photovoltaic systems for optimal energy use.

Co-CEO Wolfgang Kirsch emphasizes the importance of integrating renewable energy with intelligent automation, suggesting significant long-term growth opportunities in this shift towards connected, energy-efficient buildings.
