Governments across the globe are implementing stricter standards on carbon emissions and energy efficiency including building codes and regulations that are increasingly mandating the implementation of energy-efficient solutions. Energy harvesting solutions complement such regulations and can assist buildings in achieving the high standards for energy conservation, which makes them very appealing to implement for compliance.  For instance, in March 2024, the government of Germany decided to price greenhouse gas emissions in transport and construction sectors from 2021 as an important tool to achieve its climate goals. It begins with a fixed charge that rises each year before allowance auctions from 2026 onward.
 

Development in technology is spearheading the growth of building automation energy harvesting markets in relation to energy harvesting technology, such as solar panels, thermoelectric generators, piezoelectric devices, and vibration-based devices, making the use of energy harvesting in building automation more practical. These technologies have become cost-effective, energy-efficient, and space-conservative, and their use has hence grown in the residential and commercial sectors. For instance, October 2024, a team of NTU researchers in Singapore have created a low-budget wind harvester capable of producing power at wind speeds of merely two meters per second.
 

Building Automation Energy Harvesting Market Trends

Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are becoming the recent trends owing to the adaptation of smart devices and automated tools in modern homes. Smart buildings operate based on networked sensors and systems to control and monitor different functions, including lighting, heating, and security. For example, in December 2024, a group of researchers from Europe launched innovations that can seamlessly integrate multiple sources of energy in order to identify the utmost potential of internet-of-things (IoT) devices.
 

Property owners and facility managers are increasingly realizing the cost benefits of energy harvesting. Energy harvesting is at the core of powering IoT devices without the need for external power supplies, thus making autonomous systems cost-efficient and cost-effective. Energy harvesting reduces dependency on external power grids and battery or cabled system maintenance, reducing long-term operation costs in the process, making it a valuable consideration for property managers and owners.
 

Energy harvesting is consistent with the worldwide transition towards renewable sources of energy such as solar, and wind. Combining solar energy harvesting with building automation systems facilitates the large-scale use of solar power in buildings can deliver sustainable and clear energy. Such harmonization of energy harvesting and renewable energy leads to increased growth of the global market. For instance, in July 2024, Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited, one of the leading players in renewable energy is delighted to announce having signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with India based energy company NHPC Renewable Energy Limited to deployment of Rooftop Solar Projects on some of the government buildings of Central Ministries, and Union Territories.
