Daryl Dulaney President and CEO Siemens Building Technologies, Inc.

Buildings are integral to our lives. From our offices and places of business, to our schools and homes, Americans spend a great deal of time indoors. According to recent U.S. Department of Energy figures, buildings account for 40 percent of all energy consumed in the United States, 71 percent of electricity used and more than 38 percent of carbon dioxide emissions.

At Siemens, we are serious about energy efficiency and the benefits our solutions offer building owners.

Today’s technologies can make buildings energy-efficient, more comfortable and less costly to operate.

We wanted to explore corporate America’s attitudes toward green building to better understand this trend; what role it plays in business planning; where it is applied operationally; and how it effects a corporation’s bottom line. To determine the answers to these questions, Siemens engaged the experts at McGraw-Hill Construction’s Industry Analytics, Alliances and Strategic Initiatives to further investigate Green market shifts and other Green building trends.

The completed research is quite revealing. Corporate America’s leaders recognize that environmental responsibility and sustainable business practices are increasingly important to shareholders and are beginning to incorporate Green principles into their business practices and growth strategies.

This SmartMarket Report confirms that Corporate America is moving in the right direction. Siemens is proud to sponsor this research.
