Advanced sensors, Building Management System (Bms) platforms and energy management solutions capable of collecting and analysing real-time data on energy consumption both inside and outside buildings.

These are some of the innovations related to the 'Smart Building' project promoted by Poste Italiane and operational for several years now. These systems allow for automatic regulation of the lighting system, in addition to winter and summer air conditioning and ventilation.

Also included are structural interventions such as the replacement of installations, the energy requalification of buildings and the decarbonisation of air conditioning systems. Goodbye also to oil-fired systems in favour of methane gas with the arrival of electric heat pumps, compatible with the integration of renewable energy sources.

Smart buildings, over 4,300 sites involved

The idea helps to build the green image of Poste Italiane's buildings through a platform that can supervise spaces and notify where maintenance work is needed.

More than 4,300 Poste Italiane sites are involved according to the latest update of 31 December 2025. Also included are those planned as part of the Polis Project, with the goal of installing over 7,000 BEMS systems by the end of 2026.

Replacement and installation of LED devices

Launched in 2017, the plan authorised the replacement of some 432,000 LED devices. By 2025, some 470,000 LED lighting systems will be installed between indoor and outdoor buildings nationwide.

Reducing consumption and maintenance are just some of the reasons why the Group has embarked on this green path.

And there are also dimmable lamps so that the light intensity can also be adjusted according to environmental conditions.

The decarbonisation of buildings and the single hot/cold system

A specific decarbonisation project was also started a few years ago. The intention is to switch from gas boilers to heat pump systems. In addition to reducing polluting emissions, the programme also includes the design of a single hot/cold system and increasing energy efficiency by increasing efficiency and being able to practice 'intelligent' building management.

250 boilers with heat pumps were replaced until last year, which resulted in a saving of 9,700 tons of CO2. On the other hand, two major interventions were started in 2025 and are scheduled to be completed in 2026. They concern the Como and Mestre sites, contributing to a saving of more than 1,000 TonCO2.
