High energy efficiency in buildings is all about keeping the thermal and electrical energy input as low as possible. One way to achieve this is to install the latest heating, ventilation and air-conditioning, lighting and water heating systems; another – one that can save large amounts of energy – is to coordinate building systems effectively so that, together, they deliver the best performance in terms of a building’s requirements. In large buildings, this is a task best handled by intelligent automation systems.

The DESIGO system includes a number of applications designed and proven to enable precision control of systems and deliver energy efficiency gains under real-life operating conditions. These innovative applications enable users to consume less energy, cut carbon dioxide emissions and reduce buildings’ operating costs: They maintain the requisite degree of comfort in a building yet introduce energy savings as high as 50 percent compared to conventional building installations. Thanks to the low costs involved in the planning process, deployment and user training, the capital outlay pays for itself quickly. DESIGO applications also provide comprehensive documentation and precise, meaningful status messages that enable users to respond rapidly in the event of a technical problem in one of a building’s systems.
