Vision

Gebäude und Bauten sind für 36 % des weltweiten Energieverbrauchs und fast 40 % der energiebedingten CO₂‑Emissionen verantwortlich. Um die Branche effizienter, robuster und nachhaltiger zu machen, entwickeln wir Softwarelösungen, mit denen man im gesamten Lebenszyklus eines Bauwerks Ressourcen, Rohstoffe und Energie einsparen kann. Digitalisierung sehen wir als einen Treiber für eine nachhaltige Bauindustrie. “Building Better Together” steht dabei für das Zusammenspiel der beiden weltweit führenden Prozess‑ und Energietechnologien: RIB‑Gruppe und Schneider Electric.
