Brussels, 09 September 2025. Eurovent has released a Recommendation on AHU controls in Building Automation under the revised EPBD, outlining how integrated systems support compliance, enable monitoring, and optimise energy use.

The recommendation outlines the capability of available AHU control systems to foster objectives of Directive 2024/1275, Recast EPBD, in a technically and economically feasible way. It provides recommendations on specific requirements to be implemented in the transposition of the Directive by Member States to fulfil the provisions of Article 13(10), which are intended to support national legislators in developing a clear interpretation of the term ‘technically and economically feasible application’.

Igor Sikonczyk, Technical and Regulatory Affairs Manager at Eurovent and Secretary of the Product Group ‘Air Handling Units’ (PG-AHU), stated: “With the revised EPBD setting ambitious requirements for building automation, the Eurovent Recommendation 6/20 provides clear, practical guidance on how air handling unit control systems can play a central role in delivering both energy efficiency and healthy indoor environments in Europe’s buildings.”

The Recommendation is intended to support policymakers, manufacturers, designers, and building operators in implementing cost-effective solutions that align with EU climate and health objectives.
