Southeast Asia: Policy benefits and "localization" implementation proceed concurrently

Vietnam: Enacts legislation to promote green and intelligent development, local authorities set strict energy-saving targets 

（1）At the national legislative level: The 2025 "Building Law" of Vietnam was given priority during the implementation meeting on March 26th. The new law explicitly encourages the use of green, intelligent, environmentally friendly, and energy-saving building materials and equipment, and requires the strengthening of national management through information technology and digital transformation. This means that any enterprise that hopes to have a place in the public building market in Vietnam must incorporate intelligence and green energy-saving features as standard requirements. 

（2）Local implementation level: Da Nang City released its electricity-saving plan for 2026-2030 on March 23rd, with the target specifically targeting public buildings. It requires that by 2030, 50% of office buildings must install rooftop solar panels (for self-generation and self-consumption), and all street lighting must be replaced with LED lights. This provides a clear market window for domestic photovoltaic-integrated building materials and intelligent lighting systems. 

Malaysia: Promoting domestic capacity building and the government taking the lead in intelligent monitoring 

（1）Digital Construction Localization: On March 17th, the Malaysian Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) signed a memorandum with China Guanglada, aiming to promote the implementation of AI-driven digital construction technologies. This move is not only about introducing technologies, but also about strengthening the digital capabilities and talent cultivation of the local construction industry in Malaysia. It is a crucial step towards achieving the "localization" of technology upgrades in the construction field. 

（2）Smart City Command Center: Johor State is implementing a large-scale deployment of intelligent CCTV systems, directly integrating the monitoring data into the municipal command center. By the first quarter of 2026, 500 new intelligent CCTV units will be added, and it is encouraged for new residential projects to connect their internal monitoring systems with the government platform. This indicates that the government has set "accessible and interoperable" domestic or local deployment requirements for the data integration and security monitoring of public buildings and communities. 

Indonesia: Construction of New Capital Drives Demand for "Domestic Manufacturing" Components 

Indonesia is accelerating the relocation of civil servants to the new capital, Nusantara (IKN). This project was initially planned as a "smart and sustainable" city. As one of the largest infrastructure projects in ASEAN, its demand for construction machinery, prefabricated components, and intelligent operation and maintenance systems is strongly driving Chinese enterprises to invest in local "localization" and set up factories. For instance, Sany Heavy Industry has already built a "lighthouse factory" in Indonesia for local production.

Europe and America region: Focusing on energy efficiency legislation and intelligent interaction between the power grid

The United States: Legislation Promotes Deep Integration of Buildings and Power Grids 

According to the latest Title 42, Section 17086 of the United States Code, the Department of Energy is establishing a special program to focus on the research and development of technologies that make buildings "dynamic loads" for the power grid. This includes developing low-cost wireless sensors, unified communication protocols, and enhancing energy management capabilities at the building level. The bill particularly emphasizes the protection against cybersecurity threats and requires addressing the security vulnerabilities of building systems. This indicates that while the United States is promoting the intelligence of buildings, it has raised the "domestication" of security standards to an unprecedented level. 

Europe (taking Germany as an example): Prioritize standards and force a mandatory transition to "near-zero energy consumption" 

Although no major new legislation was introduced this week, the European market has maintained its previous high-standard policy momentum. Germany has mandated since 2026 that new public buildings must meet the "near-zero energy consumption" standard. This trend has driven the market's demand for high-performance insulation materials (such as vacuum insulation panels), heat pump systems, and building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). The EU's "Digital Building Platform" (DigiBuild) standard is also being continuously advanced, requiring new buildings to be connected to a unified BIM platform to ensure data interoperability. This places higher demands on the "standardization adaptation" capabilities of technical products. 

Thailand: Government agencies take the lead in energy conservation, setting strict energy consumption limits. 

In mid-March, the Ministry of Energy of Thailand launched the "Energy Saving Plus+" program. The core of this initiative is to require all government agencies to reduce their energy consumption by 10% by 2026. Specific measures include setting air conditioning temperatures at 26-27°C and promoting online meetings and remote work. Although this policy is straightforward, it requires a robust energy monitoring system to support the assessment, providing clear government-level application scenarios for smart meters and energy monitoring platforms.
