Value of Siemens
Siemens provides a turnkey solution
to the challenges associated with util-
ity bill management, often achieving
2–5% in utility bill savings. We ensure
needed transparency to important
energy and facility data, enabling
clients to make important energy
reduction and procurement decisions.
The diligence of our experts and our
industry-leading 60+ point validation
checks of all available utility invoices
and contract information identify
and capture immediate and recurring
savings. Clients also benefit from the
Siemens global energy tariff database
of over 10,000 rates and tariffs, ensur-
ing the optimization of tax and tariff
structures to help drive savings. Our
clients typically see a return on invest-
ment (ROI) of 250–500% for their
initial and ongoing in vestments in a
corporate-wide energy and CO
2
man-
agement program.
In addition to our global network of
energy experts skilled in maximizing
utility bill savings, our cloud-based
energy management system, Navi-
gator, serves as the platform for deliv-
ering our solution and provides near
real-time access to energy reports and
analyses. Navigator supplies organiza-
tions with the data, perspectives, and
tools to build an energy program that
minimizes a client’s energy costs and
risks. It provides centralized energy
intelligence, contract and invoice
information, performance metrics
associated with budget variances, and
cost/consumption trends that can be
used to identify areas of opportunity
and risk. The combination of our tech-
nology, applied expertise, proprietary
audit process, and commitment to
maximizing customer value makes us
one of the industry leaders in utility
bill management.
Additional Siemens benefits

agement program that addresses
needs from both sides of the meter.
Our approach ensures a comprehen-
sive plan to meet clients’ strategic
