Consistent investment in the future:
Building Automation from Beckhoff.
41 % of the total worldwide primary energy
requirement is consumed by buildings. About
85 % of that is used for to the heating or cooling
of rooms and 15 % for lighting. This way, it imme-
diately becomes clear that the question of invest-
ment in new buildings or modernisation projects
is above all a question of optimising energy
effi ciency. And there are several reasons for that.
Firstly, there are ecological reasons: the early
assessment of demands during the planning of a
building determines whether it already fulfi ls the
desired energy effi ciency class today. Secondly,
there are economic reasons: with the choice of
a highly effi cient building automation system
from Beckhoff you tap into an energy-saving
potential of up to 30 %, which directly affects
the rentability of your investment.
How can this be achieved? The answer is: with
a system-spanning, holistic automation solution
that uses synergies effi ciently and drastically
reduces the energy consumption of a building.
This can be implemented only with the use of an
intelligent, software-based control system that
has all information from all building systems at
its disposal at all times and uses this information
We reserve the right to make technical changes.
