Shanghai Intelligent Building Technology 2025: Smart Building Technologies in Shanghai

Manufacturers, system providers, tech firms, research institutes, and smart city developers

The 2025 edition of SIBT will feature more than 270 exhibitors, including multinational tech firms and local startups focused on smart infrastructure. Exhibiting companies range from providers of intelligent control panels, IoT-enabled surveillance, and modular HVAC systems to software developers offering digital twin platforms and energy analytics tools. Key participants include building management solution integrators, automation component manufacturers, renewable energy solution providers, and energy storage system companies. Institutions involved in urban planning, universities specializing in smart architecture, and think tanks working on green construction policy will also participate.

The exhibitor list features both established brands and innovative startups looking to enter or expand in the Asia-Pacific market. In previous editions, companies like Schneider Electric, KNX, Legrand, Delta, and Ezviz have showcased smart building frameworks, integrated protocols, edge computing devices for facility control, and building-wide AI learning systems. The diversity of participants provides a complete cross-section of the smart building ecosystem, from hardware and middleware to cloud platforms and data-driven services. Networking events, B2B meetings, and themed pavilions will create a dynamic environment for strategic partnerships, technical discussions, and business matchmaking.

Smart lighting, automation, building control systems, access and energy management

The range of products showcased at SIBT 2025 will cover every facet of intelligent construction, from basic automation hardware to fully integrated building ecosystems. Visitors can expect to see smart lighting control systems, human-centric lighting technologies, voice-controlled building interfaces, and occupancy-responsive HVAC systems. Access control innovations will include biometric verification, AI-based facial recognition, and cloud-connected badge readers for commercial properties and government buildings.

Energy efficiency technologies are a strong focus at SIBT, with a variety of solutions for peak load management, battery-integrated systems, power quality regulation, and on-site renewable integration. Exhibitors will also feature interoperable platforms using protocols like KNX, BACnet, Zigbee, and Matter, allowing seamless integration of disparate building systems. There will be sections dedicated to intelligent shading, HVAC zoning, digital door locks, sensor networks, real-time fault diagnostics, and predictive maintenance algorithms. Demonstration zones will simulate real-use cases of smart buildings and cross-system communication under unified dashboards. This holistic product landscape positions SIBT as a key resource for urban developers, IT departments, facilities engineers, and commercial real estate investors looking to modernize assets with scalable technology.
