Decarbonization of cities and buildings

These real estate decarbonization goals can only be achieved by future-oriented, cross-industry solutions in the construction, renovation and operation of buildings.

Futuristic electromagnetic signals on buildings

Smart buildings

The use of sensor technology and data analysis makes smart buildings an important tool for making maintenance costs predictable and reducing energy consumption.
