Product specifications

Siemens is committed to protecting the earth’s natural resources.
We invest some £1.5 billion a year in the development of eco-friendly
technology, and hold roughly 30,000 patents – nearly half of our entire
patent portfolio – in the environmental field. Our solutions to the world’s
toughest questions include everything from the world’s leading energy
saving motors and the world’s most efficient gas turbine, to the world’s
first and brightest white low-energy light emitting diode (LED). We’re the
global market leader in the offshore wind farm energy sector, and we’re
developing processes to capture and securely store the CO
2
emitted by
fossil fuel power generation.
We believe that high-performance appliances and lower energy
consumption are by no means mutually exclusive. That’s why we take
resource efficiency very seriously, to the extent that our appliances have
gained ranks amongst the most energy and water efficient in their class.
With that in mind, we will continue to develop innovative appliances
with cutting-edge technology to ensure the highest efficiency.
In Australia, electrical appliances account for around 30% of energy use
in the home. That’s a lot of resource consumption. At Siemens, we want
to do our best to conserve as much of our natural resources as possible
by delivering advanced, energy efficient products.
On the following pages, you will discover some of the most energy and
water efficient appliances available to you and your home. We will show
you how – with the right household appliances – you can take care of
the environment and your expenses.

Household appliances product life cycle
Based on appliances sold in Europe, about 90% of the total environmental
impact of household appliances occurs during the appliance’s long service life.
This is why the development of resource-saving products is Siemens’ most
enduring contribution to protecting the environment.
