Siemens has launched Building X® Sustainability Manager, a new application within its Building X digital building platform, to help organizations achieve their sustainability and net-zero goals.
The application collects, stores, and analyzes data from an organization’s utility bills to help recognize successes and identify opportunities for improvements.

Although companies continue to take measures to achieve net zero and to reduce their impact on the environment, fewer than 20% of them are on track to actually reach this goal by 2050.
Siemens software solutions that support asset planning and energy management, helping our customers
“Our solution helps our customers lower energy consumption, reduce waste, and reach their sustainability goals. Sustainability Manager is a great addition to Building X and complements other existing Siemens software solutions that support asset planning and energy management, helping our customers speed their journey to net-zero,” explains Johannes Mario Kahlert, Vice President of Building Products Americas at Siemens Smart Infrastructure USA.
Building X Sustainability Manager
Building X Sustainability Manager aggregates relevant and trusted data from building utility bills and analyzes it to provide insight into energy costs and consumption, energy budget analysis, carbon emission reporting, and energy supply contract management.
In addition, customized dashboards and widgets allow stakeholders to communicate and report sustainability performance for a portfolio of buildings, centrally monitor sustainability initiatives, and continuously improve operations to benefit the organization.
Sustainability Manager application
Sustainability Manager application lets the corps easily monitor and handle decarbonization efforts
The application is available at three subscription levels, which allows organizations to begin their sustainability journey with quick initiatives or continue it with significant or broad changes.
If not managed and monitored properly, sustainability projects can be overlooked or pushed to the side, regardless of their importance. The Sustainability Manager application allows organizations to easily monitor and manage decarbonization efforts.

“With dozens of facilities around the globe and more than 650 utility invoices per month, we needed an interface that would be user-friendly for a wide range of users from operators, technicians, engineers, and facility managers to C-suite executives to understand,” explains Richard Marino, Director of Sustainability at Coherent Corp.
We need all employees to be engaged for our organization to truly meet our sustainability goals
“We need all employees to be engaged for our organization to truly meet our sustainability goals. Our previous process of multiple spreadsheets and disjointed reports worked for a handful of people in the sustainability team but was not user-friendly enough to deploy to the entire workforce. Thanks to Siemens, we now have a tool that allows everyone to know where we stand and what we need to do to reach our goals.”
Global frameworks and regulations
ESG frameworks and regulations can change quickly and staying current with updates can be time-consuming. The application provides current information on local and global frameworks and regulations, such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor (CRREM), and New York City Local Law 97, that can affect sustainability efforts.
