Market Growth Factors
The growth of the smart building market in Portugal is mainly driven by the need for energy efficiency, green standards for buildings and comfort for inhabitants. Thus, Portugal was included in the SRI test phase, which started in November 2024. Decree 101-D/2020 also requires the automation and operation of commercial and service buildings with large centralized HVAC systems to be sustainable and flexible while improving energy management capabilities, further driving demand for smart building solutions.
With the advent of the digital era and technological advancement in the construction process, smart buildings have gained ground. Decree-Law no. 10/2024 seeks to streamline urban planning and building licensing, introducing "zero licensing" cases and reducing administrative burdens. It will incorporate Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology into municipal electronic systems for improved planning and documentation. Connected energy certification schemes, incorporating remote monitoring and controls, have improved usability and transparency for users of new and retrofitted spaces, enabling a rapid acceleration of smart building solutions and improved operational efficiency throughout Portugal's building stock.
Expected growth in the smart buildings market is expected as a result of the integration of multiple smart systems into the urban governance ecosystem. In Portugal, the government is investing in integrated urban management platforms for municipalities to manage building operation with automation, sensors, lighting, smart HVAC and environmental controls. Interoperability between smart systems can aid in monitoring energy usage, maintenance and occupant experience. The harmonization of national regulation with local implementation can build developer and user confidence in smart building technologies creating long-term adoption and enabling a greater impact on the built environment.
