It goes without saying that we also ensure the efficient use of energy and other resources within our own departments. To achieve the best possible results, the BMLUK has been relying on the federal contracting program with Siemens Austria as its partner for over 20 years, with the goal of improving energy efficiency in buildings. Siemens guarantees energy savings, and the investments are financed from these savings. Existing energy-saving potential in building systems is realized through targeted modernization and optimization. This leads to lower operating costs and increased value. The required investments will pay for themselves through savings on energy and operating costs over the term of the contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/partnerinfo.siemens.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/BP10aF2-HBLA-Pitzelstatten_Foto-26.06.2025-08-18-41.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/partnerinfo.siemens.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/BP10aF2-HBLA-Pitzelstatten_Foto-26.06.2025-08-18-41-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"HBLA Pitzelst\u00e4tten PV System\" class=\"wp-image-10212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/partnerinfo.siemens.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/BP10aF2-HBLA-Pitzelstatten_Foto-26.06.2025-08-18-41-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/partnerinfo.siemens.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/BP10aF2-HBLA-Pitzelstatten_Foto-26.06.2025-08-18-41-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/partnerinfo.siemens.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/BP10aF2-HBLA-Pitzelstatten_Foto-26.06.2025-08-18-41-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/partnerinfo.siemens.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/BP10aF2-HBLA-Pitzelstatten_Foto-26.06.2025-08-18-41-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/partnerinfo.siemens.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/BP10aF2-HBLA-Pitzelstatten_Foto-26.06.2025-08-18-41.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">From 2026 to 2035, in addition to tried-and-true measures such as monitoring and data analysis, the feasibility of ground-mounted PV systems with container-based energy storage will also be assessed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, the partnership between the BMLUK and Siemens was extended to include a third project phase. During the period from 2026 to 2035, additional energy-efficiency solutions will be analyzed and implemented. In addition to tried-and-true measures such as monitoring and data analysis of measurement, control, and regulation technology, as well as the resource-efficient conversion of lighting to LED technology, the feasibility of ground-mounted PV systems with container-based energy storage is also being evaluated. &#8220;Energy Flexibility Services&#8221; ensure the ideal balance between energy supply and demand. The resulting energy savings\u2014which amount to approximately two million euros over the course of the project\u2014will finance the entire project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, Siemens guarantees success and provides the financing up front. &#8220;Federal contracting guarantees the promised services. We are pleased to see how much our shared commitment to efficient energy use brings us together. &#8220;Precise data analysis and optimized operations tailored to those insights play a key role in reducing energy consumption,&#8221; emphasizes Karlheinz Pertl, Head of Energy Service at Siemens Austria. &#8220;Federal contracting has become an indispensable model for us. Through targeted investments, we increase the value of our buildings while also enhancing comfort. &#8220;We are aware of our role as a role model, and with this project we are sending a strong message about sustainability and climate protection,&#8221; emphasizes Andreas Bauer, the department head in charge at the ministry. &#8220;The feedback on federal contracting from government agencies across Austria has been consistently positive. &#8220;That is why we have decided once again to continue the program,&#8221; adds Ingrid Wohlfahrt, an energy expert at the BMLUK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The BMLUK relies on the Federal Contracting model in its departments, with Siemens Austria as its partner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[169],"tags":[163],"class_list":["post-10821","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fruehling-sommer-2026","tag-nachhaltigkeit"],"acf":{"meta_description":""},"author_meta":{"display_name":"magazineadmin","author_link":"https:\/\/partnerinfo.siemens.at\/en\/author\/magazineadmin\/"},"featured_img":null,"coauthors":[],"tax_additional":{"categories":{"linked":["<a href=\"https:\/\/partnerinfo.siemens.at\/en\/category\/fruehling-sommer-2026\/\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Fr\u00fchling \/ Sommer 2026<\/a>"],"unlinked":["<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Fr\u00fchling \/ Sommer 2026<\/span>"]},"tags":{"linked":["<a href=\"https:\/\/partnerinfo.siemens.at\/en\/category\/fruehling-sommer-2026\/\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Nachhaltigkeit<\/a>"],"unlinked":["<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Nachhaltigkeit<\/span>"]}},"comment_count":0,"relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 6 hours ago","modified":"Updated 2 hours ago"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Posted on 30\/06\/2026","modified":"Updated on 30\/06\/2026"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Posted on 30\/06\/2026 13:11","modified":"Updated on 30\/06\/2026 16:56"},"featured_img_caption":"","series_order":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/partnerinfo.siemens.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10821","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/partnerinfo.siemens.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/partnerinfo.siemens.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/partnerinfo.siemens.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/partnerinfo.siemens.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10821"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/partnerinfo.siemens.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10821\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/partnerinfo.siemens.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10821"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/partnerinfo.siemens.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10821"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/partnerinfo.siemens.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
