In this special episode of the Climate Confident podcast, generously sponsored by Siemens, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Rahul Chillar, the head of Building X at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. Rahul, with his impressive track record of 55 patents and over two decades in the building industry, shared invaluable insights into how buildings can be the linchpin in our quest for a more sustainable future.

We delved into the findings of Siemens' Infrastructure Transition Monitor Report, which underscores the crucial role buildings play in global energy consumption and sustainability efforts. With buildings accounting for a staggering 40% of the world's energy use, Rahul's discussion on the transformative power of digitalisation in making buildings more efficient, sustainable, and, crucially, more profitable, couldn't be timelier.

Rahul illuminated the path forward with Siemens' Building X, emphasising its capacity to foster sustainable, autonomous, and profitable building operations. His pragmatic approach to the adoption of smart solutions, amidst budget constraints and regulatory landscapes, was particularly enlightening.

Join us as we explore the critical intersection of sustainability and technology in the built environment and uncover how Siemens is paving the way for a future where buildings not only contribute positively to our planet but also enhance our quality of life.

For those intrigued by the prospect of transforming our living spaces for the better, this episode is a must-listen. Your thoughts and insights are always welcome, so do reach out on LinkedIn or explore more on Siemens Building X. Here's to changing the way we live, one building at a time.
