Siemens and COIMA transform Milan heritage building into smart, energy-efficient landmark
The “Pirelli 35” commercial building delivers energy savings of 60%, cutting 2,000 tons of CO₂ emissions annually.
Siemens' integrated building management
system, Desigo CC, is one of the key technologies enabling the achievement of
these targets. The solution offers a high level of cybersecurity protection and
orchestrates all building operations in a single, centrally monitored system. Being
able to oversee all solutions and systems – such as Heating, Ventilation, and
Air Conditioning (HVAC), lighting, room automation, fire safety, as well as electrical
distribution – facility managers are equipped to enhance operational efficiency,
reliability and system longevity, supporting business continuity. Meanwhile, the
building features advanced sensors simultaneously monitoring seven different
environmental parameters, including air quality, energy consumption and CO₂ levels. This not only results in optimized energy efficiency, but also in
increased occupant well-being, productivity and safety. The building’s comprehensive
electrical infrastructure includes a SIMOSEC medium-voltage
switchgear, 59 ALPHA low-voltage switchboards with SENTRON protection devices, and
35 control panels, ensuring optimal system control throughout the building.

“In major cities, many buildings could
benefit from digitalization, transforming into smarter and more energy
efficient assets. Since 2015, we have partnered with COIMA to implement
Siemens’ building technology and services across more than 30 COIMA-owned
buildings in Milan,” said Susanne Seitz, CEO Buildings at Siemens Smart
Infrastructure. “Pirelli 35 is a prime example of this, serving as a blueprint
for sustainable urban regeneration. It showcases how buildings can be
modernized with building and electrification technology to meet Europe's 2030
net zero goals while maintaining their architectural heritage.”
“Thanks to our partnership with Siemens and the implementation of cutting-edge tech, we are able to transform Pirelli 35 into a truly smart building. It’s already achieved LEED Platinum and WELL Gold certifications as well as its nZEB labelling stand as testament to a broader commitment – not just to smart infrastructure, but to sustainability, health, and the evolving standards of urban living," Stefano Corbella, Sustainability Officer at COIMA, added.
“Pirelli 35” already achieved LEED Platinum and WELL Gold certifications as well as the nZEB labelling.
Leadership
in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a green building rating system with Platinum being the highest certification, while the WELL Building
Standard certification stresses a building’s advanced human health and
well-being. nZEB stands for Nearly Zero-Energy Building and highlights high
energy performance and low-energy needs. All three are internationally recognized.
