Highlights
With BEaaS, customers have achieved
30 percent annual cost savings and reduced
CO
2
emissions by 26 percent with a contract
duration of less than five years.
The financial and infrastructure risks
are transferred to Siemens, which also
undertakes and pays for all necessary
repairs and equipment replacements –
throughout the entire term of the
contract.
As customers pay a monthly fee based
on the level of savings achieved, the
total cost including service fee will
never exceed the pre-contract baseline.
This model enables organizations to
implement improvement programs
and to see faster results – without any
additional budget.
A partnership that pays off
BEaaS begins with a preliminary review
that establishes a baseline, and helps
shape the optimization opportunity,
such as potential demand-side facility
upgrades and improvements or supply-
side cost reductions. This review then
helps develop a preliminary financing
model that shows you the projected
impact of the improvements. As a next
step, a Project Development Agreement
allows both parties to agree on a set of
precise goals. Once the goals have been
defined, Siemens takes full responsi-
bility for the risks and costs of meeting
them.
Siemens verifies the savings each year
against the baseline. Any costs above
the baseline will be borne by Siemens.
Any savings above the initially identified
value will be equally shared between
Siemens and you.
With BEaaS, you gain direct access
to Siemens’ consulting and service
expertise, and a trusted partner for
the financing, implementation and
management of your building perfor-
mance upgrades.
The right data for the best outcomes
At the core of BEaaS is our advanced
analytics capability: Navigator, our
cloud-based energy and sustainability
platform, collects, visualizes and
analyzes data from buildings and their
infrastructure. Our team of experts
then draw from these insights and their
deep expertise in building performance
to continualy identify, benchmark and
prioritize optimization opportunities.
This includes driving maintenance
costs down, while mitigating your risks
by taking actions to reduce downtime
or exposure to market volatility for
example. This continual monitoring
and optimization of your buildings’
performance ensures the savings
agreed in the service contract are
met – consistently.
Like everything we do, BEaaS is sup-
ported by the right combination of
people, technology and services – this
is what makes the model so attractive
to organizations around the world
looking to optimize their building-
related OPEX without increasing their
CAPEX levels.
