THERMIS Deploys AI Compliance in 30 Minutes as EU Data Centers Face May 15 EED Deadline

AMSTERDAM - April 20, 2026 - PRLog -- PARIS, April 20, 2026 — THERMIS SAS, an AI-powered energy optimization platform
for European data centers, today announced the commercial availability of its Shadow
Mode deployment, enabling legacy data centers to achieve full EED Article 12
compliance within 30 minutes — with zero hardware investment required.

The announcement comes as 1,620 European Union data centers face a critical deadline:
mandatory declaration of five energy efficiency indicators (PUE, WUE, REF, ITEE, ITES)
to national regulators by May 15, 2026, under EU Energy Efficiency Directive 2023/1791.
Non-compliant operators face fines of up to €8,219 per day per site starting May 16.

THERMIS connects to existing Building Management Systems via BACnet, Modbus, and MQTT
protocols without any hardware installation. Its Shadow Mode architecture — a passive
observation period before any optimization commands are issued — establishes a certified
measurement baseline compliant with IPMVP Option C (EVO 10000-1:2022), accepted by
Bureau Veritas and ADEME.

"Legacy data centers represent 98% of EU infrastructure and have been left behind by
solutions designed for greenfield hyperscale facilities," said Lila Ouelle, CEO of
THERMIS. "We deploy in under 30 minutes and immediately measure what regulators require
— with no capital expenditure and no operational disruption."

Beyond compliance reporting, THERMIS targets EED Article 21's requirement that all EU
data centers achieve PUE ≤ 1.30 by January 2, 2027. The platform has demonstrated
PUE reductions of 0.15 to 0.25 points in air-cooled legacy facilities operating between
500 kW and 10 MW — the core EED-obligated segment.

THERMIS operates on a gain-sharing model: clients pay 15% of certified energy savings,
with no upfront license fees. Savings are cryptographically signed under eIDAS (RFC 3161)
and verified to R²≥0.92 standards, making them directly usable for EU Taxonomy and
ESG reporting.

THERMIS SAS is headquartered in Paris, France. The company's IP portfolio, covering
cryptographic measurement and verification, multi-agent BMS optimization, and automated
EED compliance, is filed with INPI under PCT procedure.
