Eurovent issues new AHU controls Recommendation

BRUSSELS, Belgium, September 9, 2025: Eurovent announced the release of a new Recommendation on AHU controls in building automation under the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). Making the announcement through a Press Release, Eurovent said the document outlines how integrated systems support compliance, enable monitoring and optimise energy use.

Eurovent said the Recommendation highlights the capability of available AHU control systems to foster objectives of Directive 2024/1275, Recast EPBD, in a technically and economically feasible way. Eurovent added that 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, Secretary, Product Group ‘Air Handling Units’ (PG-AHU), Technical and Regulatory Affairs Manager, Eurovent, said, “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.”

Eurovent said 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.
