Fossil fuels are clearly becoming a precious commodity – scarcer and more expensive.
41 % of the world’s energy is consumed by buildings.
There is enormous savings potential for inves-tors, architects and building operators.
The energy infrastructure of today demands highly effi cient solutions for building automa-tion.
Intelligent building automation can make a signifi cant impact on everyday life.

And for the world in which we live.
Hardly any other topic is of such enormous global importance: how people deal with increasingly scarce energy resources. Buildings play a central part in this, since they account for 41 % of all energy consumed worldwide. These energy con-sumers include offi ce and industrial buildings, shopping complexes, schools, airports, hospitals, hotels and many more. This means two things: fi rstly, that highly effi cient systems that can reduce the worldwide consumption of energy
are needed – both for new buildings and for the modernisation of existing buildings. Secondly, there is enormous savings potential – for investors and operators with vision, who can consciously make a future-oriented decision today. The purpose of this brochure is to show you how you can capitalise on these savings for your own buildings and facilities.

Building planners design facilities for today as well as for future generations. Those who invest in a building today, of course wish to make a profi t tomorrow. Building designers also must take into account infrastructure demands that will not materialise until tomorrow. This is the true measure of green technology success. True investment security is offered only by highly-effi cient building automa-tion systems that can fully exploit an energy

savings potential beyond the energy effi ciency classes today. This security is also dependent on solutions that have already earned the “Ready for Smart Grid” label today and that modularly allow upgrades during the planning phase. It is the ecological and economical approach. For whoever builds it. For whoever operates it. And for whoever uses it. There is a name for this approach: Green Buildings with Beckhoff Building Automation.

Integrated building automation ensures system-wide synergy.
A holistic Green Building Automation solution from Beckhoff is simple to implement by defi nition – no matter how complex the building is and no matter how many building systems need to be centrally controlled and synchronised. With Beckhoff you decide on an integrated, software-based control system that can be implemented inexpensively, that enables hardware and software savings from the outset and that can help reduce emissions from day one. The building control processes are opti-

An integrated automation solution that “thinks with effi ciency in mind” leads to far more careful handling of energy resources, considerably de-creases emissions and it certainly pays off for the people who occupy the building. For example, with the optimally adjusted tempe-rature that increases the feeling of well-being. This also includes automatic control procedures for facades and room illumination. In addition, room automation can be programmed in such

Functional extensions or changes are possible at any time. To assure sustainability for such an integral solution, with Beckhoff you can rely not only on the technology, but also on the company being available to you for the long run.

In an age when more people than ever worldwide live in urban environments, it is not suffi cient to equip only new buildings with effi cient control solutions. Much more change will be driven by upgrading existing building infrastructure as well, which can be made future-proof as part of mod-ernisation measures. A good half of all building automation solutions from Beckhoff are already employed in this area today. And there is good reason for that: since the open Beckhoff solutions
are always based on standard components, their implementation in existing environments is partic-ularly easy – the range of use is almost unlimited. This way, the “Retrofi t Solutions” from Beckhoff contribute directly to value retention of existing buildings and – under the aspects of increasing effi ciency requirements – also contribute to an increase in their value.
