EEBUS: a common language for devices and systems for the digital energy world

The EEBUS communication standard promotes the digitalization of the energy transition, ensuring the interoperability of all energy-related devices and systems across different domains.

Connectivity across all domains

More than 70 leading international companies and industry associations have joined forces in the EEBUS Initiative e.V. The initiative has created a standardized, global device language that enables the exchange of energy- and application-related information.

EEBUS defines the behavior of various devices and their signals in energy management. EEBUS thus enables easy data exchange with the relevant control systems on the grid and energy sides.

EEBUS Organisation

By using EEBUS, building owners can benefit from lower energy costs, greater comfort and security, and a reduced carbon footprint. Grid and market operators can benefit from greater flexibility, reliability, and efficiency in managing energy supply and demand.

How EEBUS works

The EEBUS communication standard defines how connected devices communicate with each other, from the grid to the end device. The KEO software stack implements this standard on all devices in the UseCase API and thus ensures seamless communication.
