Green Buildings: digital solutions for sustainable building operation
A Green Building is a building that is developed with sustainability in mind. But also for existing buildings there is enormous potential for conserving resources by sustainably operating them. Intelligent building automation and digital services can transparently reveal how much energy building systems consume and enable lastingly efficient, resource-conserving operation.

How do we design Green Buildings?
Combining the right strategy with cutting-edge technical solutions and the know-how of our associates makes us pioneers for sustainable 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 help our customers to increase the sustainability of real estate and gain greater energy efficiency. Together, we can transform your buildings into green buildings.
Buildings account for about 40% of total energy consumption and are therefore an important lever for reducing CO2 emissions and other environmental burdens to achieve climate targets. At the same time, high prices and increasing volatility in the energy market are making it imperative to develop appropriate strategies and measures for efficiently supplying buildings with energy while meeting legal requirements.
Become a pioneer in Green Buildings
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 genuine energy efficiency can only be achieved by changing corporate culture and practicing seamless data management. That's where we come in. We’re familiar with these challenges and offer customized solutions to help you achieve your sustainability targets, slash operating costs, and operate facilities more efficiently.
Achieve sustainability goals
Our customers actively contribute to protecting the environment with sustainable solutions and renewable energies. By reducing CO2 emissions and using ecofriendly technologies, companies can achieve their sustainability goals and contribute to protecting the climate.
Reduce costs
Customers can significantly lower their energy consumption with the aid of state-of-the-art building technologies and intelligent energy management systems. This also leads to lower energy costs and long-term savings that boost their bottom line.
Increase operational efficiency
Tailored strategies and advanced technologies can be leveraged to significantly increase buildings’ efficiency. You benefit from optimized energy flows, better control, and generally smoother operation, all of which improve both productivity and users’ wellbeing.
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 particularly low use of energy, water or materials.
New buildings already comply with stringent energy standards, but there is also great potential for modernizing and upgrading existing ones to reduce the amount of energy they consume. Smart Building automation and IoT solutions play key roles in this: they monitor energy use in order to control building systems better. With this, they are the basis for efficient operations 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. Around 6,000 competent and motivated associates develop, implement and manage state-of-the-art building solutions, combining an excellent customer orientation and technological expertise with high level of enthusiasm. > Meet our team
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.
