Intelligent, integrated infrastructure
solutions create comfort, energy
effi ciency and security.
Intelligent buildings are on the rise.
The more seamlessly the technical infra-
structure functions, the greater the pro-
ductivity and profi tability of the business.
This is why building technology is no long-
er merely a silent partner but an operational
element within the company, playing an
ever more signifi cant role in helping it to
achieve its targets. If the building technol-
ogy functions reliably, employees are free
to get on with their work more effi ciently
and with more enthusiasm. Our clients are
therefore free to concentrate on their core
business, giving them a real competitive
advantage.
Total Building Solutions make buildings
more effi cient and valuable.
The intelligence of the technical infrastruc-
ture increases with the degree of integra-
tion. The more systems and components
are designed to work together and the
more intensively they communicate
with each other, the higher the levels
of comfort, safety and security in the
building:
Employers provide more security for
their workforce and more protection
for business processes if their fi re safety
system is networked with the ventilation
management system,
or if the fi re detectors are linked to the
opening-and-closing system for doors
in the access control system,
or if the lighting is coupled with the
alarm system.
This is why there is such a strong trend
towards the harmonization of building
and information technology. Siemens uses
Ethernet/IP, Web and control systems based
on client/server architectures to further the
coexistence of the two technologies. This
greatly increases the comfort, safety and
security of both people and properties.
The character of a building is shaped by external factors such as its loca-
tion, its architecture and the materials of which it is made. What is less
apparent and yet just as infl uential are the inner values. It is the technical
infrastructure, perfectly adapted to the building‘s individual needs and
business processes by Siemens, that creates its essential character. Whether
it is an industrial complex, an airport, a hospital, a hotel or an offi ce build-
ing, the vision for the building comes from its constructors and architects,
while the depth comes from Siemens.
