District School Board of Niagara modernizes building automation technologies, infusing buildings with as much potential as the students who learn in them
Siemens and the DSBN partnered on a Green Migrations project to help take a strategic approach to modernizing building automation equipment and technologies with energy efficiency in mind.
The end result was a true upgrade to the facilities, not just hardware renewal.
We anticipated as much as a 20% increase in energy use due to COVID requirements for fresh air ventilation. But because of Siemens care, attention to detail, and innovative approach to saving energy, we’re able to create these healthy learning environments but still achieve energy savings.Graeme McKenzie, Energy Officer for Facility Services
Smartflower Microgrid sparks STEM learning in Saskatchewan school
Siemens Canada partnered with the The Saskatoon Industry Education Council (SIEC) to install the first educational Smartflower microgrid of its kind at Bishop James Mahoney High School in Saskatoon. The Smartflower MG is now powering classrooms and providing real-time data on electricity production and energy absorption. The resounding success of the pilot project has paved the way for subsequent installations across Canada.

The relationship between the educators at Pine Grove and Siemens isn’t simply that of customer and supplier. And the scope of the work didn’t end with the installation of the last piece of technology. Siemens is a true partner to Pine Grove and works with the administration, educators and community for the entire district. Listening. Advising. Exploring. In areas that impact not just the building, but the students and teachers, too. Because just as a child isn’t educated overnight, there’s something else that needs to be long term, too. Partnership.
Together, we help create the perfect place to teach and learn— creating new opportunities and possibilities.
We strive to be a partner to K-12 schools every step of the way to help achieve their learning objectives and help students reach for their dreams.
This project is about much more than just fixing the boilers. It’s a springboard for our kids. We live in an area where few career paths are generally available to our residents. But in combination with the solar arrays, Siemens has helped us create a pathway.Dr. Sam Ray, Superintendent of Schools

Funding the future with today's energy savings
Many of today’s schools face infrastructure challenges and rising energy costs. Lack of capital and little appetite to take on debt can make improving our schools seem an insurmountable challenge. But by working with Siemens, more and more of today's school districts are funding their futures with energy saving improvement projects.
The speed of our ability to alert people quickly and easily has made everyone relax a bit. We know we can reach them all.Cathe Mazza, Dean of Students, Kent School
