A building management system that is writing history
Building Management starts with Desigo
Increase your
building performance
Satisfied employees result
in greater productivity
Satisfied employees are more productive employees.
And this is exactly where Desigo comes into play:
Via the Desigo CC management platform, you
can easily increase the comfort of your property. The
entire building climate as well as the safety and
security standards are optimized, creating the best
possible working conditions and helping to increase
productivity.
Improved operational management
and reduced downtimes
Desigo CC is a platform that can be used for
comprehensive control of all building systems.
The more systems that are integrated, the more
synergies you can exploit. The platform provides
you with excellent data analysis, which gives you
a comprehensive foundation for making decisions.
With Desigo, you are meeting the highest industry
standards ensuring the optimal operation of the
building across all disciplines – for maximum
building performance with minimal downtime.
Shape the future with Desigo
Improve your image
You make a difference – every day
With Desigo, you create surroundings in which
the users of office and administrative buildings,
hospitals, and production facilities feel comfort-
able and enjoy a safe environment – as guests,
patients, visitors, or employees. With the help of
Desigo, you make a difference for everyone. This
additionally has a very positive impact on your
corporate image – and hence on your attractive-
ness for stakeholders such as customers and
specialists.
Go green – scoring with sustainability
A sustainable corporate profile is becoming
increasingly decisive in competition. Desigo
room automation, which has been recognized
for its environmental friendliness, helps you to
significantly reduce the CO
2
emissions of your
buildings. Green Building monitors enhance
transparency regarding measures and results
– something that will benefit more than just
your corporate image. In addition, you will
protect the environment and save considerably
on energy costs.
A high level of transparency –
and a constant eye on compliance
Desigo makes it possible for you to precisely
measure energy within your entire infrastructure.
Based on detailed information, you can track
trends, compare locations, and optimize your
buildings and plants. The high level of transpa-
rency regarding your performance helps you to
reduce energy consumption and minimize your
operating costs. In addition, with Desigo you
are relying on a system that meets the strictest
of standards – to ensure quality, efficiency, and
lower costs.
Enjoy a comfortable work
environment every day
Whether employees, customers, guests, opera-
tors and facility managers, CEOs or investors –
they all want one thing in particular: a comfortable
building. With Desigo CC, you ensure that all
subsystems work together intelligently as a single
system. The platform synchronizes the inputs
from different disciplines so that operators can
intelligently master every situation on a daily
basis. This enables them to fully interact with all
subsystems of the building. For you, this means
maximum comfort and a working environment
in which everyone feels comfortable.
Highest level of safety and security
The safety and security of buildings is one of the
key challenges of the 21st century. Siemens can
look back on decades of development of patented
safety and security systems. This experience along
with the associated high quality standards have
gone into development of the innovative fire
safety and security system by Desigo offering
the highest level of building security.
Detecting unwanted events before they happen
Desigo CC detects and analyzes unusual behavior
in the building and security systems and reacts
proactively and transparently. In the event of fire,
for instance: By combining a wide variety of systems
in Desigo CC, it is possible to limit potential damage.
Video surveillance cameras can be used to verify
the situation. The ventilation systems can be
adjusted to prevent the smoke from spreading.
The fire protection dampers close. If necessary,
positive air pressure can be generated in other
smoke-free areas to prevent the infiltration of
smoke. The system activates the escape route control
and communicates with the access control system.
All these factors significantly reduce potential risks
and the resulting damage to people and assets.
Optimize safety,
security, and comfort
Reducing investment
and operating costs by 20 percent
Installations of Desigo CC show that it is easy
to reduce operating costs by up to 20 percent,
savings which derive in part from the fact that
Desigo CC allows you to consistently exploit
synergies. Via remote access, you can access and
control the platform at any time from any location
and you only need to operate and maintain a single
system.
Energy efficiency:
reduce consumption
Another reason for the drastic cost reduction is
the end-to-end optimization of energy consumption,
energy production, and energy procurement.
The analysis data of the subsystems serves as the
foundation for identifying concealed energy saving
potentials. This allows you to identify cost drivers
and avoid unnecessary consumption. In addition,
you can confidently decide when the best possible
time is to buy energy or produce it yourself – for
a sustainable environment for users and employees.
Future security –
as flexible as life itself
If you want to shape the future, you have to
respond flexibly – which is why Desigo CC’s
growth keeps pace with customer needs. This
means that you can start with one discipline and
add additional systems as needed after the initial
installation. Thanks to the open design, you can
replace or add systems in the building at any time,
whether they come from Siemens or from third-
party suppliers. By enabling you to freely select
subsystems and suppliers, Desigo offers you
maximum flexibility – for a stable future.

building available on the market worldwide –

Modern life revolves around buildings. People
spend about 90 percent of their time in buildings,
a fact that is also reflected in the energy require-
ments: 40 percent of global power consumption
can be attributed to buildings. Only 20 percent of
overall building costs are caused by construction;
the remaining 80 percent are operating costs.
Economists estimate that building-related occupa-
tional diseases reduce the gross national product
by as much as 1.0 percent. All these factors pose
tremendous challenges for managers and users.
Desigo
TM
is the answer to these challenges – and
the innovative Desigo CC
TM
building management
platform is a milestone in the history of building
technology. The development of the new software
is based on the global know-how of our experts as
well as on more than 30 years of experience in
building technology. With Desigo, we have created
a system that is setting new standards in terms of
performance, security, comfort, and cost reduction.
With Desigo CC, you can control and optimize all
the systems in a building – from heating, ventilation,
lighting, shading, room automation, energy
management, and fire safety as well as security
disciplines such as video surveillance and intrusion
detection. Desigo CC can be deployed for multiple
systems, yet it can also be used for the management
of individual disciplines. What makes Desigo CC
truly unique on the market is its comprehensive
structure: a single integrated building management
platform that is open, efficient, flexible, and easy to use.
