Making your building more sustainable

The benefits of a more sustainable building are endless. Yet, a retrofit project of any size is never straightforward. Every building is unique and presents its challenges.

Operational teams are best suited to lead a sustainable retrofit. Decarbonisation can be daunting for facility managers due to changing technology trends, government regulations, and certification requirements.

Explore our e-guide to learn how to decrease your carbon footprint, better control energy consumption, generate your own energy, and inspire your community.

Sustainable buildings start here

To deliver sustainable buildings, you need seamless, tested, and reliable integration of all systems, both inside and outside of your building – from lighting and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), to energy and power, and renewable energy sources. You also need technology and tools to capture building data insights simply, interpret the data, and then act to manage and automate systems’ energy use. With continuous monitoring, you can improve the performance of your HVAC and optimise the asset lifecycle.

Our building management solutions help create net-zero Buildings of the Future with tested, native integration of systems across your enterprise. This enables you to meet energy and sustainability challenges and modernise your building efficiently while leveraging systems and devices you already have.

  • EcoStruxure™ Building Operation, our open, scalable, and data-centric building management system, delivers seamless integration, visibility, and control across native and third-party building systems and subsystems. View, manage and automate systems and energy use from a single control centre, and unlock data insights from sensors, connected devices, and systems to deliver actionable insights to increase sustainability.
  • EcoStruxure Connected Room Solutions help increase sustainability at the room level. Enabled with an internet protocol (IP) backbone, this modular and flexible technology works with the EcoStruxure Building Operation building management system to reduce wasted energy fast using data captured by SpaceLogic Insight-Sensors’ real-time occupancy sensing functionality. It also integrates and automates lighting, blinds, and HVAC systems, allowing you to engage energy-conscious occupants with hands-on control.

    Maximise space and energy use for your needs based on real data with Planon Workplace Insights, our workplace management software that transforms and analyses data in easy-to-understand dashboards.

  • EcoStruxure Building Advisor, our suite of digital services, helps unlock BMS performance to remotely and proactively maintain buildings. It provides key insights into operations and areas for improvement, reduces energy use and unscheduled maintenance, and extends the asset life. To best ensure efficiency throughout the building lifecycle, your operational teams can work with our on-site service teams or one of our certified partners.
  • EcoStruxure Resource Advisor is our cloud-based solution to manage energy and sustainability footprints. It centralises all cross-enterprise, energy, and sustainability information into a single place, transforming data into actionable insights. Companies can collect, analyse, and automate information that matters for their sustainability goals, powering them to make better business decisions and accelerate results.

1. Why is retrofitting buildings for sustainability important?

Within the last 50 years, greenhouse gas emissions have increased by 90%, and buildings contribute 37% of global CO2 emissions. 30% of the energy consumed in buildings is wasted, with many still using fossil fuels for loads like heating. To limit global warming by 2050 to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) – specified 1.5°C, every effort must be made to decarbonise buildings. We encourage you to explore our strategies for retrofitting buildings for sustainability to decrease your carbon footprint and improve energy efficiency for a more sustainable, net-zero future.

2. Why do we need net-zero buildings?

The new, green mindset of tenants, employees, and investors is flourishing. Today, 81% of tenants expect their work buildings to improve their environment and well-being. 65% of hiring prospects say they would be more likely to work for a company with robust environmental policies. Property investors expect corporate environment, social, and governance reporting. Building health and sustainability certificates help enhance occupant satisfaction while strengthening brand image. Furthermore, a new market with new operational challenges is emerging. Ageing equipment can increase risks to safety and reliability and costs for repair or replacement due to supply chain shortages. As systems become more interconnected, automated, and power-sensitive, their maintenance and lifecycle management becomes more complex. Additionally, as facility experts retire and operational demand ramps up, new hiring is more difficult due to the shortage of skilled workers within electrical, facility, plant, and cybersecurity management. It can lead to smaller, less experienced in-house teams having a greater scope of responsibilities across multiple facilities. Retrofitting buildings for sustainability might be a solution to the issue. The race to net zero campaign has mobilised 75% of worldwide countries to commit to net zero by 2050. To meet these expectations, governments are launching aggressive approaches to reduce existing building emissions. There are new mandatory standards and regulations within each jurisdiction and several voluntary standards and certifications to equip teams with best-in-class energy management practices. Financial risks and opportunities are growing. Local regulation non-compliance financial risks, from fines to taxes (such as carbon tax which penalises fossil fuels use), are increasingly more common in several countries. However, government financial incentives can offset your CapEx for sustainable retrofits.

3. Where to start sustainable retrofits and net-zero buildings?

We have prepared a three-step (strategize, digitise, and decarbonise) approach that bridges ambition with action to achieve financial and non-financial values. Whether you’re just beginning your path to net zero, have taken intermediate steps already, or are advanced on your journey, we can support you at every step to retrofitting buildings for sustainability.
