Companies can improve their energy efficiency by working cross-functionally with IT and Risk & Security departments to deploy intelligent network capabilities. These allow for occupancy-based use and other strategies that reduce energy consumption.

Energy Savings

When you can reduce waste, energy consumption goes down. This is especially true with production or manufacturing operations. For example, inefficient processes can cause material loss, rework, and waste. A sound control system can help you standardize your operation processes and make them more efficient, saving money on operating and direct labor costs.

Siemens Building Technologies Division (Zug, Switzerland) is a global market leader for safe, secure, energy-efficient, and environment-friendly buildings and infrastructures. As a technology partner, consultant, service provider, system integrator, and product vendor, it offers fire safety and security offerings, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), and energy management.

Staefa’s IAQ sensor automatically senses chemical and occupancy changes and signals the HVAC control system to reset secondary ventilation levels to pre-set specifications. This minimizes the frequency of adjustments required for adequate air quality and reduces energy waste. To learn more about Staefa’s IAQ sensors, Smart II building room controller, and other products, visit our online Technical Resources section or request free literature through our Literature Request page.

Improved Comfort

Thermal comfort is essential for occupant satisfaction, health, and productivity. However, current building practices often need to meet occupant expectations regarding thermal comfort. They rely on empirical models that only predict average responses or a one-size-fits-all approach to mechanical system control.

Fortunately, advanced sensors and controls now enable high-performance sequencing of operations that can simultaneously optimize energy usage while keeping occupants comfortable. These systems also detect and correct equipment operation and installation issues that traditional environmental control systems often miss.

The Building Technologies Division of Siemens (Zug, Switzerland) is the world leader in safe and energy-efficient buildings. It combines offerings for fire safety, building automation, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning within a single company as a technology partner, service provider, system integrator, and product manufacturer. The Staefa control system is an integral part of the division and utilizes the extensive technical resources of this industry leader.

Increased Employee Satisfaction

Using energy efficiently is one of the most cost-effective ways to save money, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, create jobs, and help the environment. In addition, it can improve employee satisfaction and morale. For example, a company may use innovative networking tools to allow employees to track their own energy usage and encourage them to turn off systems when they’re not in the office.

Companies can also implement occupant-based usage controls that optimize settings based on occupancy. Additionally, a building’s management system can become grid interactive to automatically adjust internal temperatures based on electricity pricing, demand, and grid load.

With all the benefits of energy efficiency, it’s no wonder that Staefa control systems are gaining popularity among HVAC dealers and customers.

Reduced Carbon Footprint

As a Siemens Building Technologies authorized dealer, Staefa control system has access to the vast technical resources of this industry leader. This includes advanced HVAC control advancements and a robust collection of comfort and energy management solutions.

The most effective way to reduce a building’s carbon footprint is during the design phase. This allows architects and engineers to create floorplans, layouts, and materials that will have a low impact on the environment throughout construction and occupancy.

One example is using recycled products like aluminum rather than steel. This can help reduce the embodied carbon of metals like concrete and steel. Another option is to choose wood from forests that sequester carbon while the tree grows.

Additionally, orienting buildings for maximum solar gain in the summer and maximizing daylighting help lower energy consumption. Lastly, installing low-energy humidifiers instead of electric steam ones can help reduce secondary carbon emissions. This makes it easier for facilities managers to meet the BREEAM standard, a green rating system focusing on environmental impact.
