German term or phrase: betriebswirtschaftlich funktionieren
Die Ansprüche an moderne Versorgungs- und Kommunikationskreisläufe in Gebäuden wachsen rasant – und damit auch die Anforderungen an eine zeitgemäße Elektroinstallation. Technische Höchstleistung allein reicht dabei nicht mehr aus. Immer mehr muss Elektroinstallation auch betriebswirtschaftlich funktionieren. Das
heißt: höchstmögliche Effizienz bei geringstmöglichem
Aufwand, verbunden mit einer optimalen Energieausnutzung.

If you don't want to stick to the source text too much, you could also write: "has to be profitable / pay off" (Elektroinstallation muss sich auch ([betriebs]wirtschaftlich) rechnen).
