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 devices

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 with which energy and application-relevant information can be exchanged.

EEBUS defines the behavior of various devices and their signals in energy management. EEBUS therefore enables simple data exchange with the corresponding control systems on the grid and energy side.

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 the way in which networked devices communicate with each other, from the grid to the end device. The KEO software stack implements this standard on all devices via the appropriate UseCase API and thus ensures consistent communication.
