Answers for Infrastructure - Siemens

Installation technology, buildingautomation, fire protection andsecurity systems: working aroundthe clock to improve the quality oflife and the work environment.A building should function efficiently. It should use energy sparingly andreact automatically to external climate influences. And it should protectpeople, properties and business processes against intrusion, theft and fire,as well as providing a maximum of comfort. For all of these reasons, agrowing number of building owners and operators are turning to products,systems, solutions and services from Siemens.Electrical installation technology forsecure power distribution.Siemens electrical installation technologyincludes all-round power distributionsystems that ensure the entire technicalinfrastructure stays up and running.Innovative products ranging from distributionboards, low-voltage circuit protectionand building management systems all theway through to switches and socket outletsfulfill all national and regional standardsworldwide. Ensuring that lighting, shade,heating, air conditioning and coolingsystems together with security and fireprotection measures go on functioningreliably around the clock:Versatile distribution boards and terminalblocks guarantee safe, efficientpower distribution.All-round protection, switching, measuringand monitoring devices ensurecomplete protection for installations,buildings and people.Intelligent building managementsystems make buildings more efficient,more comfortable and more secure.An attractive range of switches andsocket outlets with designer finishes,guarantees safe, innovative functionalityfor building installations conforming tovirtually any standard worldwide.Thanks to high-quality manufacturing,engineering and design, our innovativeproducts, systems and solutions are constantlysetting new standards.Building automation foroptimum comfort.Building automation from Siemens providesall-round products, systems, solutionsand services for heating, ventilation, airconditioning, light and blind managementsystems for both single rooms and entirebuildings.
