Energy saving and increased comfort are
not mutually exclusive. On the contrary:
With their advanced energy management
systems, our products, systems and solu-
tions provide the perfect room temperature
for your physical wellbeing, while our
ingenious energy management gives you
peace of mind.
Increasing sustainability through
products, solutions and services.
Around 30% of the energy consumed in
buildings could be saved merely by mod-
ernizing and improving the effi ciency of
the HVAC systems. One of the main aids
here is a building automation system.
Integrated, intelligent building automation
is the only way to ensure that a building
meets the needs of its occupants and
to guarantee secure, energy-effi cient
operations. The effi cient use of energy
in buildings starts with energy-saving
components such as operating devices,
control valves, drive motors and measuring
sensors for temperature, air quality and
humidity. High-performance, web-based
software facilitates energy management,
while comprehensive energy optimization
services featuring analyses, benchmarking,
reporting, training and coaching round off
our range.

Using Energy Saving Performance
Contracting to fi nance modernization.
Exploiting your energy saving potential to
the full means you reap double rewards.
Energy Saving Performance Contracting
not only saves energy and operating costs
but also generates the cash needed to
fi nance necessary investments. When you
opt for Energy Saving Performance Con-
tracting, selective modernization carried
out during the contract period maximizes
the building‘s energy saving potential,
while the savings made on energy and
operating costs directly cover the costs of
upgrading.
Our energy saving guarantee
makes Energy
Saving Performance Con-
tracting totally risk-free and improves the
effi ciency and operational reliability of the
infrastructure, increases the value of the
building‘s facilities and plays an important
role in environmental protection through
energy savings and reduced emissions.
