Siemens has inaugurated its new campus in Zug, Switzerland. The Siemens Zug campus features a new office building with 1,000 work spaces and a newly constructed production building. The investment in new buildings, renovations and related measures amounts to CHF 250 million


he Zug campus is the international headquarters of the Siemens Building Technologies (BT) Division, which has 29,000 employees worldwide and last year posted sales of 6.6 billion euros. As a Siemens reference project, the buildings feature much of the company’s own smart building technology.

“Siemens is one of Switzerland's largest employers. We employ over 6,000 people here, including about 300 apprentices, says Joe Kaeser, chairman of the Siemens AG Managing Board. “Building Technologies with its headquarters in Zug will benefit more from digitalisation than virtually any other industry. Next year, building technology will become a core element of the new operating company Smart Infrastructure (SI). Its global headquarters will then also be in Zug.”


Zug has been home to Siemens Building Technologies since 1998, when Siemens took over the industrial activities of Elektrowatt AG. “With our investments in research and development, we are using the opportunities of digitalisation to steadily evolve into a smart building company,” explains Matthias Rebellius, CEO, Siemens Building Technologies.


“We offer a full range of building technologies for fire detection, security and automation solutions to optimise sustainability, total cost of ownership and the user experience in buildings. Smart buildings are based on comprehensive analytics and use of digital building data,” says Rebellius. Rebellius calls the campus a reference project that illustrates the opportunities of digitalisation in building technology, energy efficiency and future-oriented working. “A smart building is flexible, it learns from previous interactions and it continually adapts to the needs of building users, thus actively contributing to their success,” he says.


Sustainability and energy efficiency


Construction of the office and production buildings began in May 2016 and was completed in July 2018. The Siemens Zug campus is one of the first new projects to use Building Information Modelling (BIM) for design and construction.


The digital twin – a 3D model of the building, enhanced with technical information relevant for later operations – is the foundation for efficient, cost-optimised and forward-looking building management.


The campus complex is equipped with building automation, security and fire safety technology from Siemens BT. Particular emphasis was placed on sustainability and energy efficiency of the buildings. The office building meets the highest requirements of the LEED standard, earning it a Platinum certification; the production building meets the criteria for LEED Gold certification.


An integrated building automation system with energy optimisation based on the Desigo CC integrated building management platform controls the energy consumption and all the disciplines in the buildings. Energy-efficient heat pumps use water from Lake Zug as a heat source and for direct cooling. The campus buildings do not need fossil fuels to generate energy. The heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems are equipped with heat and cold recovery systems. Even the compressed air systems in production have an energy recovery system for water heating. The buildings have green roofs, and the office building uses approximately 1,500m3


Architecturally attractive


With its 56 x 56 metre footprint, the seven- story office building can accommodate 1,000 employees. It has 32,000m2 floor space, including 18,400m2 space and 11,000m2

underground garage with 250 parking spaces. The building has a height of 25 metres.


The three-story production building has a height of 16 metres, a footprint of 125 x 50 metres and two production floors. The second upper floor of the building has 120 office spaces, as well as additional space for occupational training and a laboratory. Delivery docks, nitrogen tanks and waste containers are integrated into the building to minimise noise for the neighbouring residential area and to make it architecturally attractive.

The campus also includes an existing office and production building, scheduled for modernisation in 2021. Beginning in late 2022, it will house the approximately 450 employees of BT research and development. The city of Zug is taking over the former Siemens office building.

S Siemens at ISH 2019


iemens is set to show its comprehensive portfolio for smart buildings at ISH 2019, Frankfurt, Germany, March 11-15, Hall 10.2,


Booth C55.


At ISH 2019, the leading international trade show for building, energy and air conditioning technology and renewable energies, the Siemens Building Technologies Division will present numerous innovations from its product and systems portfolio, as well as new digital services for customers. These portfolio additions from Building Technologies will enhance smart buildings, link products and building management systems to the cloud, connect disciplines, and make data available from anywhere and at any time. Building Technologies' extensive range of reliable and accurate building control products, multi- disciplinary building management systems and software offerings, all of which are easy to adapt to individual applications, are the foundation for digitalised buildings.
