Building Efficiency as a Service enables organizations to

implement essential building performance improvements

with no CAPEX.

Building performance supports business performance

Corporate real estate is typically the second largest expense on many organiza-

tions’ income statements – and an important financial factor that’s often

overlooked. Operating costs make up 80 percent of a typical building’s check

capitalization. Energy accounts for 40 percent of these costs – and studies

show that up to half of it is wasted. Inefficient buildings have also been linked

to unscheduled maintenance and equipment replacement as well as poor health

and low staff productivity.

By contrast, high-performing buildings are cheaper to run and maintain and

have longer infrastructure refresh cycles. They become perfect places to work in,

enhance staff comfort and productivity. They also enable companies to meet or

even exceed their sustainability goals.

However, as core business and support activities compete for the same shrinking

budgets, building efficiency improvements often struggle to obtain adequate

funding. Building Efficiency as a Service (BEaaS) from Siemens helps organiza-

tions overcome this challenge by enabling them to achieve better operational

outcomes without the need to divert capital from core business priorities.

Bringing high performance within reach

BEaaS is a service delivery model in which building performance improvements

(service activities and infrastructure upgrades) are delivered to customers via

a managed service agreement that guarantees savings. It allows Siemens to

identify and implement energy and operating cost reduction strategies to meet

savings goals with no need for customers to make upfront capital investments.

When a building performs

the way it should…

• funds go to mission-critical

activities only,

• public perception improves

and customers take notice,

• employees are comfortable

and more productive,

• your business is reliable and

more resilient to risks,

• sustainability objectives are

met or exceeded.
