- Upgrades to help improve infrastructure, support operational excellence and enhance student living-learning experience
As part of its 10-year strategic plan, ‘Transformation Morgan
2030: Leading the Future,’ Baltimore-based Morgan State University (MSU) has
partnered with Siemens on its journey to becoming a smart and connected campus
of the future. Improvements currently underway include implementing a series of
modernization upgrades to the university’s heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning (HVAC), security, and fire and life safety systems with a focus on
energy efficiency, resiliency and sustainability. All work is umbrellaed under
a master service agreement between Maryland Clean Energy Center, Siemens and
MSU to support the university’s campus transformation.
The University of
Birmingham, in partnership with Siemens, is combining digital sensor and
analytics technologies, artificial intelligence, decentralized energy
generation and storage, renewable energy and concepts that help change users’
behaviour to transform the university’s Edgbaston and Dubai campuses into the
world’s smartest global campus, creating a ‘Living Lab’ where research,
teaching and learning all benefit from access to new data and
connectivity.
The Siemens Zug campus features a new office building with 1,000 work spaces and a newly constructed production building. The Siemens Zug campus is one of the first new projects to use Building Information Modeling (BIM) for design and construction. The campus complex is equipped with building automation, security and fire safety technology from Siemens BT and particular emphasis was placed on sustainability and energy efficiency of the buildings.

- Siemens and UEL to co-create a ‘Living Lab’ to help embed sustainability into course curriculums
The University of East London (UEL) has reduced its carbon emissions by 10 percent from its 2020/21 baseline to 2022/23 in the first phase of its new net zero strategy, putting the organisation on track to achieve its 2030 net-zero target.
- Siemens Swinburne Energy Transition Hub aims to create the most advanced future energy grid laboratory of its kind in Australia accessible to students and industry
- 5.2 million AUD (3.4 million EUR) to be invested into Hub, set to open in late 2023
- Hub to leverage digital twin of Australia’s energy grid with Siemens software such as PSS E, PSS Sincal, Spectrum Power and Deop X
- Joint project between industry and research to accelerate path to net zero
Siemens
and Swinburne University of Technology have agreed to set up the most advanced
future Energy Transition Hub of its kind in Australia in at the University’s Hawthorn campus
in Melbourne. Featuring
some of the most advanced digital energy technology from Siemens and the
technical, R&D and teaching expertise of Swinburne, the $5.2 million Hub
aims to build a future energy grid laboratory accessible to students and
industry. When fully operational, the Hub will also offer researchers and
industry the opportunity to work on solutions for greener, more efficient
future energy systems using Siemens Xcelerator, a new open digital business
platform and marketplace.
- ETH Zurich runs unique research project on automation and energy supply for buildings in different climate zones
- Project includes one-of-a-kind artificial sun
- Siemens supplies digital building technologies, part of Siemens Xcelerator, for lab
ETH Zurich,
one of the world’s most renowned universities, has just opened a unique
research facility: the Zero Carbon Building Systems (ZCBS) Lab. It allows research
into the behavior of building components and systems in different climate
zones. The new building, located on the university campus in Zurich, comprises
two floors with different test cells, climate chambers, and experimentation
rooms. As part of its existing industrial partnership with ETH Zurich, Siemens
has equipped the new research facility with state-of-the-art digital building technologies,
including for building operations and management. The technologies are part of
the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio.
Almost 10 billion
people will live on our planet by 2050, most of them in urban areas. About 40
percent of all energy used globally is consumed in buildings, and another one
third by industries. But resources are finite.
Resilient, adaptive, and efficient infrastructure, enabled by digitalization,
is key to sustainability. Taking action to tackle climate change and other
global sustainability issues is an urgency. With buildings and electrification
increasingly growing together and becoming more and more digitalized, they can
support the sustainable infrastructure transition and create more livable
environments.At the Light +
Building 2022 trade fair, Siemens will showcase its vision of digitalization as
the key pillar of the infrastructure transition. Our motto at the show is
“Smart infrastructure is sustainable infrastructure”, outlining our innovations
that will make this possible.Visit us at Light + Building 2022 in Frankfurt am
Main, October 2 - 6, in hall 11.0, B56.
- Siemens installs its fluorine gas-free, medium-voltage switchgear NXPLUS C 24 blue GIS at Iberdrola
- Climate-friendly insulating gas Clean Air with a global warming potential <1 consists exclusively of natural components of ambient air
- The power distribution solution enhances sustainability and climate protection for Spanish utility
Headquartered in the Spanish city of Bilbao, Iberdrola, one
of the world’s largest electric utilities and the world's largest wind power
producer, aims to become carbon neutral across Europe by 2030. To achieve this
goal, it is systematically implementing its environmentally-friendly and
sustainable business model. To this end, Siemens Smart Infrastructure has been
commissioned by i-DE Redes Eléctricas Inteligentes SAU, the company responsible
for power distribution activities within the Iberdrola Group, to supply its sustainable
medium-voltage switchgear to the northern Spanish province of Burgos. This marks
the first installation of fluorine gas-free switchgear from Siemens’
climate-friendly blue portfolio at a customer site in Spain.
