Update announcement: SAUTER Vision Center, version 7 Superior room comfort will benefit building users first and foremost. Building operators also profit from the underlying technology and know-how. This is because experienced engineering and secure investments in technology and software solutions can preserve a building’s value. Furthermore, resource-optimised operation is ensured. SAUTER Vision Center 7 integrates both Advanced Energy Management and innovative, user-oriented operation. Whether building a new hospital, converting individual rooms in an office building or even repurposing entire spaces – if plants are not matched to effective demand, operating costs can spiral out of hand. Operators, energy managers and investors know that, once an installation has been tested and accepted, its efficiency can very rarely be maintained. Only knowledge of the processes and ongoing adjustments can optimise consumption and preserve the cost-based value of a building. SAUTER Vision Center, SAUTER’s building management system, has already been installed more than 2,100 times around the world. The trusted management and operating level enables plants to be operated and visualised – regardless of location or system. The universal building management system features many strengths, including: integration of different functions, web-based access and high-level flexibility and scalability. Its continued refinement is also part of its success (you can learn more about the BACnet certifications on page 14). We have previously reported on the use of SAUTER Vision Center in numerous reference stories, so let’s now take a look at the latest functions and extensions being launched with SAUTER Vision Center version 7.

SAUTER Vision Center is thus a fully integrated “one-stop shop”, i.e. a single platform providing all the services required for plant optimisation. Allow us to illustrate the added value by looking at energy managers' day-to-day work. Their duties include viewing a multitude
