Sauter building automation, sustainability – smart solutions for the real estate industry

At Expo Real 2025, the long-established Swiss company will be presenting how buildings can be operated more sustainably through digitalization, efficient control, and targeted data analysis. With a clear focus on energy savings, climate neutrality, and intelligent building technology, the provider is positioning itself as an experienced partner for the transformation of real estate portfolios.

From technology supplier to holistic building service provider

The company has its origins in classic building automation – an area it has been shaping for decades. It now covers the entire spectrum of maintenance, facility services, and property management. The operation of real estate is understood as an integral part of value creation. The aim is to reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions while increasing comfort for users.

Strategic goal: Net Zero 2050 – sustainability as an obligation

As part of critical infrastructure, the company itself is subject to strict reporting requirements on sustainability. The declared goal is Net Zero 2050 – and this applies equally to its own organization and to the buildings it manages. Through targeted consulting, technical solutions, and long-term support, Sauter helps owners and operators make their properties fit for the climate goals of the future.

Amanteia: Simulation platform for climate-neutral investment strategies

Amanteia is a tool that has been developed to clearly show how real estate can be gradually made climate-neutral – without making bad investments. The software simulates scenarios, links investment costs with CO₂ savings, and shows whether measures affecting the building envelope, heating, automation systems, or windows have the greatest impact. At the same time, it provides key figures on economic efficiency and payback periods – an approach that bases decision-making processes on facts rather than assumptions.

Sensors, data analysis, and machine learning in building operations

Digitalization is also changing the way technical systems are controlled. Modern sensors operate wirelessly, measuring temperature, humidity, movement, and light intensity, and sending the data to central systems via IoT interfaces. There, they are evaluated using machine learning and used for predictive control. This means that energy is only used where it is needed – with significant efficiency gains in ongoing operations.

Specialist departments for energy optimization, operations, and data security

Specialized teams analyze energy consumption, advise operators on efficiency measures, and ensure that systems are optimally controlled. At the same time, the importance of IT security is growing. With NIS2 certification and its own protection mechanisms, the company supports its customers in meeting the growing requirements for data protection and cybersecurity – especially in the field of cloud-based building automation.

Intelligent sensor technology and integrative building control as a model for the future

One example of the company's technological expertise is the smart multi-sensor, which records up to 20 measurements – from temperature and brightness to movement and room occupancy. This data enables automatic control of lighting, shading, and air conditioning. The combination of sensor technology, automation software, and operational expertise creates digital, networked buildings that conserve resources and are prepared for future regulatory requirements.
