Siemens Building Technologies (SBT)
SBT ensures high levels of comfort and security in its customers’
buildings while safeguarding investment value and business
processes.
Building users – owners as well as residential and com-
mercial lessees – appreciate a comfortable environ-
ment, safe and secure premises, and a high degree of
energy efficiency. Our building technologies – encom-
passing everything from heating, ventilation and cli-
mate controls to fire detection and warning systems,
emergency evacuation solutions, access controls and
closed-circuit TV monitoring – create the technical
infrastructure needed to meet these requirements.
Together, these technologies maximize performance,
cut operating costs and increase building productivity.
Our products, components and systems are tailored to
our customers’ needs. Already in the planning phase,
we take a building’s entire lifecycle into account. This
approach results in cost certainty as well as optimal
flexibility for any later modernizations or utilization
changes – to protect our customers’ investment. As a
provider of maintenance, operating and energy man-
agement services, we help optimize system perform-
ance, reliability and efficiency. Our standardized, scal-
able modules ensure uniform and consistent building
performance. Around-the-clock remote surveillance
and remote operation, coupled with the networking of
IT-based building operations and customers’ business
systems (Enterprise Resource Planning), ensure high
transparency for operations and costs. Our solutions
enable our customers to keep their focus where it
belongs – on their core business activities.
