Assessment Surveys:
Siemens assesses regulatory, safety and efficiency
status of your current facility systems.
Engineered Solutions:
Building automation for centralized facility
management and control.
At the core of our complete laboratory
solution is the APOGEE® Building Automation
System, which provides comprehensive
monitoring and control capabilities for critical
facility conditions. The system's advanced
architecture enables integration with
third-party BAS components and software to
provide excellent opportunities to boost
efficiency, lower costs and reduce risks in your
facility. With the APOGEE system, you can
connect all of your building and research
systems, allowing you to monitor, control,
plot and report all integrated systems and
devices from a single workstation. Its flexible
architecture provides the capability to keep
pace with changes occurring in the future.
Modifications and additions may include both
Siemens and 3rd party solutions. The APOGEE
automation system also meets electronic
record and signature regulations by ensuring
the integrity of electronic records throughout
their entire life cycle — from the point of
creation to the end of a record’s useful life.
The components of our Engineered Solutions
range from small control elements such as
sensors, valves and actuators to large,
sophisticated automation systems.
Siemens Engineered Solutions include:
• HVAC Controls and Building Automation
• Lab Ventilation and Fume Hood Controls
• Lighting Controls
• Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ)
• Security and Access Management
• Fire and Life Safety
• Utility Cost Management
• Integration Solutions for Interoperability
and Centralized Control
To help you understand the current
conditions of your facility’s building
automation systems and to develop
a well-targeted tactical plan that
addresses your needs, Siemens
conducts detailed assessment surveys.
We’ll analyze the critical aspects of your
operation to identify any potential
efficiency, regulatory or safety issues.
Our interdisciplinary team will identify
existing processes that are working for
you and where new solutions can be
integrated for maximum benefit. Areas
of concentration include:
• Lab Ventilation and Safety
Assessment
• BAS Validation: Critical System &
Device Impact Assessment
• Facility Modernization Assessment
• Energy Assessment
These comprehensive assessments not
only provide you with a thorough gap
analysis or benchmark, but also form
the basis for developing a strategic plan
that incorporates engineered solutions
and information management that will
guide you in achieving you facility
performance goals.
“Can we really improve
s
afety without sacrificing
e
nergy efficiency?
I’d like to be able to docu-
m
ent that my labs are safe
f
or liability protection.
But if there’s a trade-off in
energy savings, I’ll have
t
rouble justifying it.”
“Research is changing so fast that
flexibility in laboratory facility plan-
ning and usage is more important
now than it has ever been. How
can I assure that the system we
choose today will be right for
tomorrow?”
