Siemens showcases journey from smart to autonomous buildings at Light + Building 2026
Under the banner “Technology to transform building infrastructure” at Light + Building 2026, taking place in Frankfurt, Germany from March 8-13, Siemens will showcase its vision for the journey from smart to human-centric autonomous buildings.
Under the banner “Technology to transform building infrastructure” at Light + Building 2026, taking place in Frankfurt, Germany from March 8-13, Siemens will showcase its vision for the journey from smart to human-centric autonomous buildings. This comes at a time when customers are grappling with workforce challenges, outdated planning approaches, and the pressure to increase their buildings’ energy efficiency and long-term value. Autonomous infrastructure can address these challenges by reshaping the way buildings are planned, operated, and maintained across a wide range of industries, including healthcare, data centers, life sciences, commercial real estate, and higher education. Autonomous buildings deliver safety, comfort, operational efficiency, and long-term asset value for occupants, owners, and operators alike.
“The shift
toward human-centric autonomous buildings is crucial for our customers, who are
looking for more efficient and more sustainable ways to operate”, said Susanne
Seitz, CEO Siemens Smart Infrastructure Buildings. “Technological advancements in
buildings make it possible to reduce complexity, increase resilience, and deliver
measurable outcomes. By investing in digitalization and AI, building owners
have the intelligence needed to operate buildings more autonomously, while
keeping people at the center.”
From vision to implementation: enabling autonomous buildings
Autonomous buildings represent the next stage in the evolution of building operations. They are designed to anticipate demand, optimize performance and maintenance, and respond dynamically to changing conditions over time, while keeping people in control. Turning this vision into reality requires a reliable technological foundation. Siemens addresses this evolution through an integrated approach that connects building technologies and electrification across the building lifecycle.
The company’s
digital platform, Building X, allows operators to
manage building operations from one platform and make data-driven decisions across
energy, comfort, safety, and maintenance. Meanwhile, Desigo CC, the integrated
and scalable building management platform, unifies and controls a wide range of
systems, including HVAC, lighting, energy, and safety systems. With its open
architecture and backward compatibility, Desigo CC ensures seamless integration
with existing IT infrastructure, offering transparency, enhanced operational
efficiency and resilience, and future flexibility for even the most complex
infrastructures.
Intelligent power
distribution systems, components, and IoT solutions provide the electrical
backbone for this approach, ensuring transparent energy flows, resilient power
distribution, and efficient interaction between buildings and increasingly
complex energy systems. Digital planning tools such as SIMARIS with its BIM-Plugin
support efficient and integrated electrical design, while intelligent
components including SENTRON ECPD and SIVACON 8PS busbar trunking systems
provide reliable, flexible, and smart power distribution and data for
autonomous building concepts. When it comes to automation for smaller
applications, Siemens will introduce LOGO! 9, the next generation of its LOGO!
logic module family. Designed to streamline engineering and operation, LOGO! 9
offers higher program capacity, expanded input/output scalability, improved
on-device diagnostics, and secure connectivity. This enables faster
implementation of control and monitoring tasks with greater flexibility. Together,
these technologies form the basis for solutions that can be deployed and scaled
across diverse building types and use cases.
