How to make a building green?
An intelligent combination of building automation and light management reduces energy use by up to 50%.
Energy efficiency – the right balance between comfort, building performance and sustainability
Buildings represent 40% of primary energy use globally, and energy consumption in buildings is projected to rise sustainably.
At the same time increasing resource scarcity, legal risks and growing operating costs as well as different requirements from different users, are just some of the challenges that need to be taken into consideration when thinking about energy efficiency and sustainable buildings.
With systematic approaches adapted to the lifecycle of your building supported by services, products and technologies from Siemens you’ll not only benefit long-term from lower energy costs but also from a higher building value and a positive public image.
Energy Efficiency Program
Maximum energy efficiency for existing buildings – Reduce energy cost.
Environmental protection, energy efficiency and optimized use of resources are key concerns for economical and sustainable production. The greatest potential for conserving resources and lowering energy costs lies in the efficient use of energy.
The Siemens Energy Efficiency Program helps modernize existing infrastructures, such as production plants. This leads to greater energy efficiency, fewer CO2 emissions and lower operating costs – all with a short payback period.
The Energy Efficiency Program follows a standardized procedure. First, energy experts conduct a careful analysis of the production facility to determine the energy consumption and related environmental impact. The resulting report demonstrates the potential for saving energy.
In a second step, a comprehensive, customized package of improvement measures is compiled on the basis of this systematic assessment.
Once the measures have been implemented, continuous energy monitoring conducted by the Siemens Advantage Operation Center (AOC) ensures that the systems are available and continuously optimized. These steps ensure that the energy efficiency level achieved is retained and perfected even further
With energy performance contracting, Siemens also offers a type of contract in which necessary investments are financed through guaranteed savings in energy and operating costs.
Highlights:
- Can be adapted to companies and infrastructures of any size
- Energy efficiency is increased through the use of cutting-edge technologies
- Reduces operating costs and conserves resources
- Short payback periods
