Green Buildings: digital solutions for sustainable building operation
A Green Building is a building designed to improve environmental performance and resource efficiency. Existing buildings can achieve significant improvements in resource efficiency through optimized operation. Intelligent building automation and digital services provide insights into building energy consumption, supporting efforts to enhance efficiency and reduce resource use.

How do we design Green Buildings?
Combining the right strategy with cutting-edge technical solutions and the know-how of our associates positions us as pioneers in advancing energy-efficient buildings. For us, energy efficiency means more than just short-term success. Our focus is on optimizing a building's energy consumption and energy mix over its entire life cycle. With this, we support our customers in implementing energy-efficient solutions that contribute to improving the sustainability of their buildings. Together, we can implement strategies to enhance the energy efficiency and environmental performance of your buildings.
Buildings account for about 40% of global energy consumption, making them a key area for reducing CO2 emissions and improving environmental performance in line with climate goals. At the same time, high prices and increasing volatility in the energy market are making it imperative to develop tailored strategies and measures to improve the energy supply of buildings while aligning with regulatory requirements.
Enhance your building’s sustainability performance
85% of today’s buildings will still be standing thirty years from now. This makes it essential to renovate them and boost their energy efficiency. For nonresidential structures such as office buildings and commercial properties, in many cases significant energy efficiency improvements often require changes in corporate culture and optimized data management. That's where we come in. We understand these challenges and provide tailored solutions to support your sustainability goals, improve cost efficiency, and optimize facility operations.
Achieve sustainability goals
Our customers take steps toward improving environmental performance with solutions that enhance sustainability. By improving energy efficiency, reducing CO2 emissions, and implementing eco-friendly technologies, companies can make progress toward their sustainability goals.
Reduce costs
Customers can reduce their energy consumption based on tailored solutions. This can contribute to lower energy costs and potential long-term savings that can positively impact their bottom line.
Increase operational efficiency
Tailored strategies and advanced technologies can be leveraged to enhance buildings' energy performance. This can lead to optimized energy flows, improved control, and more efficient operation, contributing to enhanced productivity and user comfort.
Sustainability and energy efficiency are at the very heart of our business and remain highly significant to our customers.
Digital solutions for Green Buildings
A green building is developed or operated with sustainability in mind. These buildings are characterized by a low use of energy, water or materials compared to conventional buildings.
New buildings are designed to comply with recognized energy standards, whereas existing buildings may benefit from modernization efforts, with the potential to reduce energy consumption depending on factors such as their age and current infrastructure. Smart Building automation and IoT solutions can help monitor and optimize energy use. These solutions provide a foundation for improving operational efficiency in Green Buildings.
We are bridge builders, custom tailors, pioneers and enablers
Digitalization and artificial intelligence are opening up new possibilities, offering more security, creating comfortable living environments and worlds of work, and making building management more secure and efficient. This requires one thing above all else: an exceptional team like ours at Bosch Energy and Building Solutions.

Why invest in Green Buildings?
Sustainability is also playing an increasingly important role in buildings – for owners, operators and tenants. Efficient operation lowers energy consumption, reduces costs and protects the climate. In addition, smart building automation increases not only efficiency, but also comfort and safety – for sustainably satisfied users.
We are a reliable partner in planning and implementing connected and integrated solutions from a single source – from intelligent building control technology and presence-dependent room automation to transparent energy data management.
Climate protection, social responsibility, rising energy prices and statutory requirements – there are more and more reasons for companies to sustainably reduce their CO2 emissions and actively promote the energy transition. When sustainable action becomes an integral part of corporate strategy, this has positive effects both ecologically and economically.
Our experts accompany you on this path with comprehensive industry know-how. Our customized efficiency program helps you reduce your CO2 emissions in the long term. Together with our subsidiary Bosch Climate Solutions, we offer you all-round CO2 consulting for your path to a carbon-neutral company.
At Bosch Energy and Building Solutions, we strive to have a positive impact – on the users of our integrated solutions, and on the world we live in. Starting with our own processes and cooperating with our suppliers and customers – along our entire value chain and over the complete life cycle of buildings.
Together, we conserve valuable resources, permanently increase energy efficiency, sustainably reduce the CO₂ footprint, and promote people's well-being and satisfaction. You can call it sustainability. We call it: Building the positive.
To achieve carbon neutrality, we employ four levers: improving energy efficiency, generating our own energy from renewable sources (new clean power), purchasing electricity from renewable sources (green electricity), and – as a last resort – offsetting residual CO₂ emissions with carbon credits.
Scopes 1, 2, and 3 are used according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.
