Uni Smart partnership with Siemens Financial Services
Uni Smart Solutions is a managed service provider for sustainable buildings. Uni Smart offers integrated finance as part of its service, to allow affordable investment. Working with Siemens Financial Services (SFS) to offer public and private sector institutions the opportunity to tackle their ambitious environmental targets:
- Reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions
- Lower long-term operational and maintenance costs
- Support sustainability and net-zero targets
To achieve these targets public and private sector institutions often have significant challenges to overcome
- Limited capital budgets – Large upfront investment for lighting upgrades is not feasible within existing capital expenditure constraints.
- Aging infrastructure – Existing older systems were inefficient, costly to maintain, and lack intelligent controls.
- Pressure to demonstrate value for money – Any solution needs to show clear financial savings and predictable costs over time.
- Risk aversion – Require a low-risk approach that avoids performance uncertainty and unplanned expenses.

SFS provides a master lease facility as there will be several installations across a building or site. This means the customer can draw down for each installation, rather than applying for a new lease each time, ensuring no delays.
How the Model Works
- Siemens Leasing provides a tailored finance package, spreading the cost of the project over an agreed term.
- The financing structure aligns repayments with the energy savings generated, enabling the project to be cash-flow neutral from day one.
The Benefits
- Zero upfront capital cost – Projects are delivered with no initial financial outlay, removing a financial barrier for transition to sustainability.
- Immediate energy savings – Reduced electricity consumption leads to lower utility bills from day one.
- Predictable costs – Fixed, manageable monthly payments replace unpredictable maintenance and energy expenses.
- Improved environment – Enhanced comfort, visibility, and wellbeing for users as the Smart technology can be programmed and adjusted as per the users requirements
- Sustainability impact – Significant reductions in carbon emissions to support environmental commitments.
- Visibility of data – Utilising smart technology enables customers to understand how their buildings are being used and make data driven decisions to make further savings.
The Outcome
Through the collaboration between Uni Smart Solutions and Siemens Leasing, private and public sector customers can
- modernise without capital constraints
- achieving measurable energy savings
- improve building performance
- achieve long-term financial certainty
This partnership model demonstrates how smart technology combined with innovative financing can remove traditional barriers and accelerate sustainability projects.
