- **Summary:** The page describes the growth of energy-efficiency investment in Italy's tertiary sector, the gap between current renovation rates and European decarbonization targets, and White Energy Group's strategy to apply industrial-style monitoring, engineering and performance-based energy management to non-residential buildings.

## Market context

The page states that Italy's energy-efficiency market is undergoing a major shift. Residential investment has fallen to about €24-27 billion after the end of previous tax incentives, while tertiary-sector investments in 2025 were between €15 billion and €29 billion.

Citing the *Energy Efficiency & Green Building Report 2026* by Politecnico di Milano, the article says that continuing at the average pace of about 9,000 interventions per year seen over the previous decade could delay achievement of European decarbonization targets until 2060.

To meet the EU deadlines for 2030 and 2033 for non-residential buildings, the page says that nearly 120,000 property units would need intervention and the annual rate would need to rise to about 15,000 renovations.

## White Energy Group's tertiary-sector strategy

White Energy Group announces a strategic focus on the private tertiary sector, particularly:

- offices;
- large commercial areas;
- logistics facilities;
- hospitality structures.

The company says it is bringing to these sectors the same management, monitoring and advanced-engineering model already used in heavy industry. The stated goal is to apply a tested non-residential approach that can contribute more quickly and effectively to European energy-transition targets.

## Industrial approach applied to buildings

According to CEO Gianluigi Mele, the company intends to treat offices and shopping centres with an industrial logic rather than as occasional maintenance projects. The model described on the page includes:

- data-based energy management;
- predictive diagnostics;
- contractual performance guarantees;
- optimization of energy flows;
- reduction of energy waste;
- management of investment returns over the building lifecycle.

The page presents this model as an extension of an approach already used in industrial energy efficiency.

## Contractual model and target clients

White Energy Group says it uses ESCo contractual formulas together with an integrated energy-management approach. The company positions itself as a single counterpart for:

- real-estate funds;
- retail chains;
- hotel chains;
- large tertiary-sector companies.

The stated objective is to help these organizations manage the energy transition with measurable performance and a management model derived from industrial applications.
