DESIGO building

automation – flexible and


energy-efficient

Answers for infrastructure.


DESIGO – high energy
efficiency and flexibility to
protect your investments
Realize savings efficiently without sacrifices – with the building
automation and control system DESIGO™, you achieve significant
energy savings and at the same time benefit from a pleasant room
climate and optimum comfort. Especially thanks to features such
as centralized, intelligent energy management, highly efficient
and innovative energy saving functions, and the effective inter-
action of all system components and processes.

With DESIGO, you also benefit from a kind of flexibility that pro-
tects your investments throughout their entire life cycle. Not
only can the system be tailored precisely to suit your building
and applications, but it can also be easily adapted to changes in
your requirements and expanded at any time.
