The challenges of the EU Green Deal

We are right by your side when it comes to shaping the energy turnaround. Working as your partner to ensure a climate-neutral power supply for your building, our focus is on decarbonisation. Whether office buildings, industrial facilities or an entire neighbourhood – Siemens experts use an all-encompassing approach to find the right response to every challenge related to the energy turnaround. This allows you to secure lasting reductions in CO2 emissions, optimise your energy procurement, lower your operating costs and enjoy a reliable power supply for your building.

Siemens Desigo, our automation system, will take your building to a new level. Thanks to state-of-the-art, flexible technologies, your building can be adapted as required to overcome the different challenges the future holds.

As an integral system, Desigo encompasses hardware and software for each level, from field equipment to cloud solutions. This approach ensures that all components communicate uniformly and interact seamlessly. As a result, Desigo plays a key role in getting the maximum possible performance from your building.

The integrated, scalable, open building management platform Desigo CC crucially helps you control your smart building and forms the basis for interaction between the building and its inhabitants, which means the building can be adapted to suit user requirements. Thanks to its scalability, open design and outstanding performance, Desigo CC provides the necessary impetus towards achieving a smart building and increases efficiency, reliability and comfort – from simple systems for individual disciplines to fully integrated buildings.

Your building provides a wide range of data via actuators, sensors, meters, etc., so why not use this to your advantage? Our experts are on hand to help you network and evaluate this data, thereby creating a powerful IoT system.

Extensive data analysis also shows the areas where energy consumption can be further reduced, making it an essential tool in fulfilling the legal requirements stipulated in the Green Deal. Comprehensive digitisation improves the performance of the building, thereby contributing to an increase in its value.

Systems and components in a building generate huge amounts of data due to digitisation and the IoT approach. This data can be collected, analysed and then used for the benefit of building operators and users alike. Various tools are available for this purpose, such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) – a collaborative process that forms the basis for digitising the construction industry – or the Building Twin, that is to say an application for establishing digital twins of a building that provides long-term digital data.

These tools enable the performance and efficiency of a smart building to be optimised throughout its entire life cycle.

80% of the costs of a building are due to operation, meaning the right maintenance is critically important. The more efficiently the plants and systems are operated in the long term, the more the investments made in the construction or modernisation of your building will pay off.

 Using intelligent tools, performance experts from Siemens ensure that problems are uncovered in good time so that they can be rectified before damage or high costs are incurred. Our intelligent maintenance solutions help you minimise risks in day-to-day operation.

The energy turnaround promotes the expansion of renewable energies and thus indirectly creates business opportunities for generating own power and offering network services. This requires digital energy management. We provide market participants with an appropriate solution, enabling them to generate additional turnover through innovative ideas while, as a positive side effect, improving the security of supply for themselves and in general.

 Our experts are on hand to advise you on the targeted, financially optimised implementation of your project. Our solutions are as individual as our customers’ requirements.

It will become increasingly difficult to maintain a reliable power supply in future, particularly in view of the need to manage peak loads caused by e-mobility, for example. Microgrids are our solution to this problem.

 Local storage and flexible control allow these area networks to ensure an interruption-free supply of power around the clock that is also able to compensate for volatile load requirements. In addition, microgrids optimise energy consumption and the associated costs based on demand, energy prices and other factors. This means, for example, that locally generated energy can also be used locally, which can significantly help to reduce network expansion costs.
