Full environmental controls and supporting documentation for
achieving lab efficiency, safety and compliance now turnkey
solution BUFFALO GROVE, Ill., Dec. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Companies in
all sectors of industry, government and academia incorporating
laboratory operations into their enterprise now have access to a
single source solution for achieving total environmental control,
energy efficiency and compliance from Siemens Building
Technologies, Inc. By bundling environmental monitoring, control
and documentation services in a turnkey package, Siemens offers lab
operators a simplified, cost-effective and accurate means to
participate in the Laboratories for the 21st Century (Labs21(R))
movement, co-sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). (Logo:

the often intense, specialized ambient conditions required to
accomplish the processes and procedures typically performed in a
life science or high-tech lab, far more energy and water per square
foot are consumed than in most commercial buildings. According to
Life Science Solutions Director Diane Feliciano-Welpe, "Siemens
Building Technologies is offering an experienced team of
professionals in the HVAC, power generation, lighting, water
processing and related building environmental disciplines to
formulate and execute a comprehensive plan of evaluation,
renovation and documentation specifically for laboratories. This
strategy is aimed at helping lab operators cost-effectively comply
with more stringent operating and safety requirements, as well as
maintain an overall improved energy conservation record." Siemens
approach involves the implementation of a comprehensive life cycle
management approach for lab operations, based on various
international standards and prevailing practices within specific
industries-including pharmaceutical, biotech, semiconductor,
primary metals and chemical processing. The service is also
scalable; the program's modules can be scaled down to suit small,
independent test labs or scaled up to thoroughly cover major
corporate research facilities with equal effectiveness. Siemens
tailors the program to suit virtually any industry's compliance
requirements. By containing energy costs while still maintaining a
safe environment, enhancing system reliability and providing the
documentation required for ongoing compliance, Siemens enables lab
operators to more quickly bring their entire environmental
performance model into a manageable state-of-control and remain
securely in that mode going forward. Valuable also is the fact that
the program proactively guides lab owners and users training to
ensure this status is maintained over the long-run. When the
long-term cost efficiency of energy savings are coupled with
improvements to the facilities' compliance activities, a range of
economies result and operational and financial performance is
optimized. As a leading provider of energy and environmental
solutions, building controls, fire safety and security systems
solutions, Siemens Building Technologies, Inc., makes buildings
comfortable, safe, secure and less costly to operate. With U.S.
headquarters in Buffalo Grove, Ill., Siemens Building Technologies
employs 7,200 people and provides a full range of services and
solutions from more than 100 locations coast-to-coast. Worldwide,
the company has 28,000 employees and operates from more than 500
locations in 51 countries. For more information on Siemens Building
