This ABI Research whitepaper shows how Siemens’ Building X platform helps organizations decarbonize building portfolios through a software-first approach that unifies sustainability, energy, and operations management. As buildings account for roughly 40% of global energy demand and a third of emissions, the report highlights digitalization as the fastest path to net-zero—using smart building management systems to capture data, visualize performance, and optimize energy, HVAC, and resource use in real time. Building X integrates tools like Sustainability Manager, Energy Manager, Operations Manager, and Comfort AI to enable compliance reporting, predictive maintenance, and carbon reduction aligned with standards such as SBTi and CRREM. Case studies from real estate, universities, and global enterprises show how this approach delivers measurable energy savings, improves asset value, supports regulatory compliance, and accelerates the transition to sustainable, low-carbon buildings.
