Energy as a Service for Small and Medium Sized Buildings

Global Market Analysis and Forecast: 2022-2031

The global market for energy as a service (EaaS) has been growing throughout 2022 despite the global economic slowdown. A notable area of growth in the last couple of years for EaaS has been in small and medium sized buildings (SMBs). Large commercial building owners and tenants usually have dedicated facility managers as well as dedicated building management budgets that enables them to invest in and manage energy efficient technologies. SMB owners and tenants, on the other hand, typically have tighter budgets that hinder their ability to invest in energy efficient technologies and building operations staff. The EaaS business model allows SMB owners and tenants to install energy efficient technologies and have dedicated staff operate and maintain such technologies with no CAPEX required.

The EaaS market for SMBs is rapidly evolving to meet the changing needs of customers. Expanding capabilities in onsite energy generation and storage, sustainability commitments, extreme weather events, and other factors are contributing to the EaaS evolution in the market landscape.

This report’s forecast methodology is based on extensive primary and secondary research. Interviews with a range of market stakeholders were conducted to collect information on market trends and inform assumptions on forecast market revenues. In addition to primary research, Guidehouse Insights created an EaaS case study database that includes over 100 examples of EaaS projects around the world. This database informed forecast segmentation and assumptions on market size and growth. The model was built by forecasting upfront and recurring revenues and then adding the two together. Upfront revenue is defined as investment associated with EaaS contracts. Recurring revenue is defined as operations and maintenance, administrative, and other service revenues captured by EaaS vendors.
