Reduce complexity.Create benefits.Power supply, communication, sound and video, security, and special building electronics – all from a single source.

In buildings that are used by the public,

where people meet, exchange ideas, work

together, or receive treatment, the infra-

structure systems must meet very high

demands – generally much higher than in

other buildings.

Customer-specific solutionsComplex buildings are customer-specific buildings. Starting with our highly qualified basic engineering, we work out an optimized scope of supply based on our customer’s specific needs. We also carefully examine the specification for technical feasibility, and determine whether it complies with regulations and standards – important precautions that help customers to avoid follow-up costs.

Everything according to planThe integration of infrastructure systems takes place after much of the groundwork has already been laid. At that point, the basic structure is set in concrete – or at least the detailed planning has reached the point where any changes would mean high costs and delays in construction. Siemens’ main advantage is our experience, gained from the many hundreds of infrastructure projects that we’ve already imple-mented. The creativity of our engineers lies in their ongoing ability to adapt, while always taking optimal advantage of planning and building requirements.

International standardsOur customers benefit from Siemens’ active involve-ment in infrastructure projects on five continents. We combine international expertise with the experi-ence of our Regional Companies to provide infra-structure systems that comply both with international standards, such as VDE and IEC, and with regional standards.

Many systems from one sourceFor a building to fulfill its purpose, many individual elements must function together as one system. We define system integration as the interaction between individual subsystems, and we ensure maximum functionality across all systems. In Siemens, you have a qualified partner to address all your concerns throughout the construction and commissioning phases of your project.

Our service goes even furtherLong after our customers have moved into their buildings, our service continues. Our flexible service concepts range from simple system service and stockpiling of spare parts to complex maintenance concepts – whatever it takes to meet your individual needs.

Siemens is a leading partner for complex building projects, with many years of experience in every corner of the world. Our engineering is the number one choice when it comes to building and infrastruc- ture technology for hotels, museums, theaters, shopping malls, amusement parks, hospitals, court- houses, data centers, and power plants. Siemens delivers intelligent, highly compatible systems that meet all the customer’s specifications from a single source.

Simply put: buildings with infrastructure systems provided by Siemens are known for their superior functionality and security – not just in terms of daily operations, but also in the event of disturb- ances or fires.

Drawing on our experience, we customize every system for our customers, and our consistent project management and on-schedule project execution ensure that costs remain within budget.

We know electricity –since 1847.Electrical power supply – how energy gets to your building.

4

Werner von Siemens founded our company

over 160 years ago, on October 12, 1847.

Our first product was the electric telegraph.

Since then, a lot has happened in the world,

and at Siemens, but electrical power is still

our domain.

Voltage, current, and resistance – volts, amperes, and ohms: electricity is still physically electricity, even in complex buildings where thousands of computers may be operating, medical devices saving lives, and electronic security systems monitoring key areas. Or, perhaps a hotel guest wants to shave, a night game is being broadcast on TV, or a roller coaster is starting up – all situations where many switchgears and subsystems must intermesh smoothly and safely.

Siemens is always “on,” supplying current with a power range from 21 kilovolts down to low-current systems of 4 to 20 mA, from high-performance pow- er supplies for machines, elevators, and escalators to control systems for temperature sensors and transducers.

Our many proprietary components mean that we rely on almost no third-party products. Conse-quently, our customers’ systems also remain self-sufficient, even in the event of a power failure – when our UPSs and diesel generators go to work.

Example: Uninterruptible power supply (UPS)Whether in hospitals, control rooms, data centers, or high-security areas such as courthouses and government buildings – UPS systems are needed wherever human lives and important material assets rely on a constant, adequate supply of electrical power, independent of the outside power network. In contrast to emergency generator sets, UPS sys-tems supply uninterrupted and immediate power to electrical consumers when the outside power network fails.

UPS systems are always designed to run on battery power in accordance with the customer’s specifica-tion. If a customer needs an especially high level of security, UPS systems can be arranged in redundant master-slave configurations. If a customer requires even longer availability, UPS systems can be linked to diesel generator sets.

Example: Lighting systemsOur brains receive about 85 percent of their sensory input from our eyes – when there is enough light. How much is enough? That’s spelled out in guideline values defined as lux levels in the customer specifi-cation. Siemens has many lighting solutions available, including highly energy-efficient concepts.

A glowing example of our lighting solutions is our floodlight system for sports stadiums. This system guarantees sufficient lighting for optimal TV trans-mission, as well as a comfortable, glare-free view for players and spectators.

Welcome to the communication age.Communications. Doing more with greater availability.

We may not have invented the telephone,

but we’ve certainly improved it, and enabled

several technical and economic break-

throughs. Today, in the age of communica-

tion, a building without telecommunications

infrastructures is practically useless. Siemens

offers turnkey solutions and many associated

services.

Example: Clock systemsAlthough most people wear watches, central clock systems are still very important in complex buildings. Outside Europe, a GPS time signal is transmitted to the master clock, which forwards the signal to sec-ondary clocks. Inside Europe, the DCF signal is used, for example, to provide the time stamp for automat-ic processes in combined-cycle power plants as well as in security systems. In Europe and around the world, Siemens clock systems receive the time from precise timers.

Example: Pager systemsIn hospitals and laboratories, the radiation emitted by cell phones can interfere with sensitive devices. That’s why pager systems are still the number-one choice in these buildings – and not just in hospitals, but in all security-related environments. It’s the reason why some pagers have watchdog circuits, a functionality that is often demanded by security-guard and maintenance services. Nevertheless, pager systems have their limits. For instance, if real voice communication is required in a large, relatively undeveloped area, it’s better to have radio systems linked to the telephone system, such as DECT radio networks or private mobile radio systems.

Example: Public address (PA) systemsA four-year-old gets lost in a shopping mall and, of course, doesn’t know her parents’ cell phone number. A couple of teenagers are acting up at a public exhibit and need to be admonished. At an airport terminal, a pickup service has been unable to connect with a visitor from America. All these situations illustrate why public buildings must have public address systems. In emergency situations, PA systems even become part of building security. When Siemens installs a PA system, the acoustics are optimally adapted to the surrounding noise level. And in case of fire, the loudspeaker cabling is designed to meet higher security standards.

Our scope of delivery

n Telephone systems

n LAN and WLAN systems

n Clock systems and time switches

n Public address systems

n Pager systems

n Radio systems for two-way communication

In courthouses, important legal decisions are made and communicated. In stadiums, emergency an-nouncements must be heard over any level of noise. In hospitals, people are treated and cured in a dialogue between patients, doctors, and other caregivers. National parliaments fulfill their very purpose when members “parley,” or speak.

In short, all these buildings essentially serve the purpose of communication. That’s why all of their technical telecommunications infrastructures are also in a single location. What distinguishes Siemens is its especially broad offering when it comes to system integration of communication equipment – and we are exceptionally positioned to provide this infrastructure system for complex buildings.

Example: Telephone systemsFor a long time, telephone systems have been able to do much more than just transmit voices and manage extensions. Telephone systems provide countless functions, including central numbering plans, alarm chains, and accounting systems. All these must be standard features in hotels and hos-pitals. Fee-based telephony for guests and patients is the way to meet demands on many levels.

Sound makes the music.And a picture is worth a thousand words.Sound and video – buildings are going multimedia.

Our scope of deliveryn Pro sound system

n Video television system

n Picture transmission system

Today’s buildings are modern in more ways

than just their architecture. Often they are

both communications switching centers and

venues for multimedia content, informing,

greeting, entertaining or guiding their visitors.

It’s a perfect area of operation for a system

integrator like Siemens – you can look forward

to an exceptional audiovisual experience,

whether it’s a large-scale solution for a sports

stadium or customized AV equipment for

a public building.

Example: Picture transmission system (PTS)A picture transmission system is a highly innovative system used in driverless trains. What makes a PTS different from other systems is that images must e transmitted from the working train to the control room via radio, which places enormous demands on bandwidth. Picture transmission systems can also be used in complex buildings – for example, when mobile cameras on a stadium roof are expected to capture spectacular images, or when cameras accompany a roller coaster in an amusement park.

Information systems provide text information; presentation systems provide a mixture of text and images; video walls display moving images – and crystal-clear sound must be available every-where. As a system integrator and manufacturer, Siemens offers a comprehensive portfolio of multimedia presentation technology.

Example: Pro sound systemSound systems in stadiums are proof that today’s public address systems can do more than just crackle and pop. When an artist sings the national anthem before a game, ProSound’s crystal-clear, high-fidelity quality is enough to give listeners goose bumps.

Example: Video television systemAnother feature of stadiums is built-in television systems. Wherever sports elite are competing, camera images are transmitted to large video walls, to the VIP lounge, and even to TV transmitters. Besides sports arenas, video television systems are also found in opera houses and theaters in major cities, as well as in international conference centers.

Altogether special.Altogether high-tech.Special electronics – system integration on the highest level.

n Metering information and control systems (SCADA)

Power line carrier systems

When it comes to integrating special electronics, we at Siemens are in our element. While other providers must purchase technology such as gateways, we rely on our own technology, development, and resources.

Example: Gateways for system interfacesFew complex buildings are all of a piece. Buildings are living entities, with a little modernization here, some expansion there, a bit of remodeling in another section. Siemens is an expert in building moderniza-tion and is fully capable of integrating existing tech-nical systems and new systems, whether for power, telecommunications, data technology, or security.

Example: Power line carrier systemsWhen transfer rates are low, high-voltage lines are a stable communication path for transmitting voices and data. Power line carrier systems are used especially for power plant connections, both for communication and for transmitting protection and information signals to control rooms.

Example: Open transport network (OTN)When higher data transfer rates are required and long transmission links have to be bridged, power line carrier systems lack the necessary capacity. This is where OTN systems based on fiber-optic tech-nology come into play. OTN systems are mainly used for connections between power plants or, when integrated into oil pipelines, for communication between refineries and other petrochemical plants.

The system integration business has many

providers who can build a small number of

infrastructure systems, but there are far

fewer providers who can implement many

systems from a single source. Even fewer

providers can handle highly complex services,

such as special electronics – an area where

Siemens already has solutions ready to meet

every requirement in complex buildings.

From passive evaluationto active monitoring.New solutions for new risks.

The new millennium has brought with it

new threats to life and limb, material assets,

and knowledge. International terrorism,

organized crime, and new types of economic

espionage and data crime are seeking and

finding new victims. The fragility of today’s

security has increased people’s need for

protection, which has in turn increased the

importance of security technology, especially

in public and semipublic spaces.

Our scope of deliveryn Fire detection and alarm systems

n Access control systems

n Video surveillance systems

n Infrared perimeter and surveillance systems

Siemens security technology enables operators of complex buildings to respond to these new threats, as well as to familiar dangers such as fire and break-ins, in appropriate, scaled, and redundant ways – even in high-security situations. The security subsystems are highly compatible and networked with the telecommunications equipment, so that support and security personnel can be quickly noti-fied in case of emergency, and endangered sections of buildings can be evacuated.

Example: Access control systemsVarious security technologies are available for access control, ranging from simple readers for company IDs to biometric recognition systems that identify people based on iris scans and fingerprints, along with many other associated security checks.

Access control systems don’t just determine who can enter a building. In the event of an evacuation, rescue workers need to know who has been or still remains inside a building. Siemens meets this tech-nical requirement with a LAN connection from the access control system to the communication system.

Example: Perimeter surveillancePerimeter surveillance systems serve to protect not only large areas, but also especially sensitive ones. In such cases, Siemens integrates infrared-sensor and sensor wire systems with the associated camera technology. If anyone approaches the perimeter, the sensor wire reacts to the motion. The disturbance is reported as a signal to the station responsible for the particular perimeter section. Cameras within the sensor’s range are activated without alerting the intruder, and images are transmitted to the security control room. The security guard can immediately see whether the signal was triggered by a fox on the prowl, for example, or by a person seeking unau-thorized access.

Example: Fire detection and alarm systemsWhat do you do when fire breaks out? Stay calm! That’s the first rule of fires. And calm is easily achieved when you have fire detection and alarm systems from Siemens. High sensitivity smoke detectors locate fires before they can cause any real damage. Fire detectors installed at strategic points throughout the building provide additional security. To protect the hearing-impaired, the alarm is both audible and visual. Emergency plans installed in the telephone system are automatically activated, venti-lation systems taken off the power network, access control systems opened for evacuation, and UPS and emergency power systems started up. In addition, data from the access control system is activated so that rescue workers can know who is still inside the building. To prevent anyone from slipping into the building undetected during an actual fire or fire drill, cameras continue to monitor all the exits. All systems mesh perfectly. The goal is clear: to detect and avert danger.

Safeguarding your investment in a complex infrastructure system.Service and maintenance of electrical and safety technology.

14

Today’s complex buildings wouldn’t be

possible without electric power. In addition

to the power supply for the lighting and

the wide range of equipment and machinery

in daily use, electricity is also indispensable

for the infrastructure – for every sensor,

data line, telephone, audio and video

communication system, safety technology

system, drive systems for elevators and

transportation means, etc... The safety and

reliability of the power supply has become

a crucial criterion for building utilization.

Sometimes the power supply of a complex building is just as complicated as the building itself. But you need not assume unnecessary risks when it comes to the quality, safety and reliability of your power supply and low-voltage systems. We offer service tailored to your needs – for all your building’s power supply systems, including those of third-party manu-facturers – with no need for you to maintain your own specialists, material and equipment.

Our top priority is the safety of your equipment and systems for your operations and your people. Moreover, well-maintained equipment and systems have longer service lives, and weak points can be discovered early. This minimizes maintenance costs while also ensuring that everything operates smoothly with no lengthy downtimes.

Reliable when you need us You can count on our factory-trained service specialists worldwide! We’re there when you need us, even with 24-hour on-call service if necessary. Naturally, we offer you not only inspection, main-tenance and repair but extensive diagnosis, con-sulting and status evaluations for your systems, for example using thermographic analyses.

This makes it easier to estimate the remaining useful life of your systems, and you can start taking the necessary steps based on their condition. What’s more, we assist you in remodeling and renovations and supply you with maintenance packages, retrofit-ting sets and the necessary replacement and wearing parts, which we either keep in stock or source by pooling (for switching devices no longer available on the market).

A systematic approach for greater performanceOur offer is to maintain your systems not only spo-radically but continuously, inspecting them, repair-ing them when necessary, and enhancing them based on the latest knowledge. You profit from the expertise of one of the largest providers of electrical engineering system solutions. For you, that means experienced, superbly trained technicians will monitor the function of your power supply systems thoroughly and on schedule, using the latest methods and equipment and with a great sense of responsibility.

Regardless of whether a switchgear, emergency generating set or UPS is involved – when we detect problems, we get to the bottom of them. And based on our analyses we can also assess the consequen-tial impact and take prompt countermeasures. With comprehensive documentation of results, we also provide you a solid basis for investment decisions to preserve the performance of your systems and equipment, or even increase it (for example through retrofits from our portfolio).
