The automation and digitalisation of building technology are essential for the sustainable development of Swiss real estate. They help to optimise energy consumption, increase comfort and reduce CO2 emissions.
The Swiss Energy Targets 2050 are aimed at increasing energy efficiency and further expanding the use of renewable energy sources, while at the same time ensuring a secure and reliable energy supply. The real estate industry therefore has a double responsibility: on the one hand, energy consumption must be reduced in order to cut CO2 emissions. On the other hand, opportunities must now be created for the smart use and control of energy flows. Building automation plays a central role in this, especially in existing properties, which make up the majority of the Swiss building stock.
The whitepaper by BKW and pom+ looks at the potential of smart building technology in the decarbonisation of real estate and examines the integration of building automation in already existing infrastructures.
Joint collaboration to find new solutions
At the Digital Real Estate Summit 2023, representatives from the real estate and building technology industry met to exchange views on the topic of "Automation as a lever in decarbonisation". Under the leadership of BKW, various questions regarding the transformation of the existing building stock were discussed in a workshop. This laid the foundation for the joint white paper.
The whitepaper is part of BKW's "Living Spaces 2025" initiative. It offers a platform for the design of forward-looking solutions for liveable living spaces. With various workshops, the initiative creates space for collaboration and constructive dialogue between business, science, society and politics.
