Inside Smarter Buildings: How Innovations are Saving Costs and Cutting Emissions

Pages 17 Pages

The Siemens Infrastructure Transition Monitor 2025 highlights how buildings are becoming central to the global push toward net zero, driven by energy transition and industrial decarbonization. Based on a survey of 1,400 executives, the report finds energy efficiency is now the top infrastructure priority, with most organizations increasing investment in smart technologies and electrification, yet progress remains uneven due to cost and capital constraints—especially in real estate. Retrofitting is critical but lagging, while digitalization, AI, and autonomous systems offer major potential to cut costs, emissions, and improve performance. To accelerate impact, the report calls for scalable digital solutions, innovative financing models like Energy-as-a-Service, stronger policy frameworks, and coordinated action across sectors.
