How can companies reduce CO2 emissions and achieve climate neutrality? The simplest but most effective way is to increase the energy efficiency of buildings and plants and thus reduce energy consumption. Our experts will help you identify options for more energy efficiency and address them with suitable solutions.
"Energy efficiency is the key to reducing CO2 emissions, lowering energy consumption and thus increasing the sustainability of buildings and facilities. Because one thing is clear: where no CO2 is emitted, no CO2 needs to be neutralized. This principle is reflected as an essential first step in the Real Zero Plan that we have developed at ENGIE Deutschland."
Niklas Wiegand, Managing Director of ENGIE Deutschland GmbH
We know: The first step towards energy efficiency is always the most difficult. And yet every company is required to take this step – because increasing energy efficiency is a key prerequisite for the energy transition to succeed. The underlying principle is obvious: Energy that you do not consume does not have to be generated or compensated for. That is why we at ENGIE Deutschland have believed for years: Saved energy is the best energy. Across Germany, our team works with companies of all sizes and from all industries to discover obvious and hidden energy drivers and reduce energy demand – with great success.
If you want to maximize the energy efficiency of your buildings and systems and thus take an important step towards climate neutrality, we offer you targeted support. For our customers, we have developed the five-stage "Real Zero" plan, which aims to achieve Real Zero – the real zero – in terms of CO2 emissions. Energy efficiency is the first indispensable step. And our experience shows: The potential is enormous – whether for old or new buildings, existing plants or new projects.
In the first step, we perform a comprehensive analysis of the buildings, facilities and plants, which also makes hidden emissions visible and determines the actual CO2 footprint. On this basis, we develop a tailor-made, sustainable concept to save energy. The energy management and continuous monitoring by our experts ensure that the energy is consumed as efficiently as possible – around the clock. We replace outdated systems with energy-efficient, low-emission models and we rely on smart control and intelligent building management. You will see: Even small changes can lead to significant savings. In ENGIE projects, the average energy savings achieved through such measures is 30%.
We even guarantee that: Within the framework of contracting solutions, we finance the necessary investments and assure you of binding savings. In addition, energy efficiency projects are often supported by the state – for example, through the new Federal Support for Efficient Buildings (BEG) of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Export Control. Our team of experts will be happy to advise you on suitable options and support you in organizing, from the application for funding to the grant certificate. This allows you to concentrate on your core business, to save CO2 guaranteed and to reduce your costs – so you can optimally position your company in terms of energy efficiency and climate neutrality.
The Internet of Things has long since made it possible to network all systems, machines and systems – from lighting and the alarm system to heating and cooling to energy and load management – even in large utility buildings, or better Smart Buildings.
Energy-efficient buildings are regarded as an important success factor in the active design of the energy transition. A look at the statistics shows why this is so: Around 35 percent of the total energy consumption in Germany is in the building sector.
In order to take the important step towards the long-term goal "zero carbon" and to contribute to the energy transition, an effective energy management strategy is necessary. The planning of an energy concept and the purchase of energy-efficient plants are only part of the overall strategy.
