According to the European Environment Agency, it is estimated that 38% of the EU's total emissions are associated with the building sector. Some of these emissions are from the direct use of fossil fuel energy and others are generated directly from the electricity and heat used in buildings.
During this progress, there is one pacesetting company among all the contributors which lies at the heart of reducing global carbon emissions, relieving the earth from getting warmer and warmer:
“We digitalize buildings for a better world. We contribute to protecting our climate, our health, and our safety. Digitalization plays a prominent role in competing against climate change.”
-Christoph Paul Ritzkat, Managing Director and Chairman of the board at Kieback&Peter

We complement the traditional building automation systems with digital services, business processes, and external services.” By providing a digital twin using the data acquired, the buildings can be managed comfortably and in such a way, customers are able to refine the information to make more efficient business decisions on decarbonizing and reducing carbon emissions.
