Enhanced integration in EcoStruxure™ solutions from
Schneider Electric responds to rising energy costs and
escalating urgency for sustainable, net-zero
buildings
- More open, flexible and simple
integration to the largest portfolio of building systems and
devices, including electric vehicle charging and
power - Integration of formerly siloed building and
energy systems simplifies control, provides insights and
optimizes building energy use - New ways to access
data, including the first hardware-free automation server
for building management, help meet stringent net-zero carbon
mandates
Rueil-Malmaison, France
– Schneider Electric, the
leader in the digital transformation of energy management
and automation, today announced its enhanced solutions to
increase building sustainability. Included are new
integration capabilities in EcoStruxure™ Building
Operation 2023, EcoStruxure Connected Room Solutions,
and EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert,
which will help simplify and speed-up access to
data that is essential to manage energy use, help reduce
carbon emissions, and enhance building
value.
Responding to the global imperative to reduce
energy use and carbon emissions
Open and flexible
EcoStruxure Building solutions help owners and facility
managers respond to rising energy costs, as well as mandates
for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. New functionality
enables seamless integration to deliver actionable insights
and control of multiple building, power, electric vehicle
charging, and renewable energy systems in a single,
convenient, mobile-enabled control center.
“As 60%1
of energy today is lost or wasted, a more
electric and digital world is key to addressing climate and
energy crises,” said Andre Marino, SVP Digital Buildings,
Schneider Electric. “With a modernized building management
solution like EcoStruxure Building Operation, systems within
a building can be connected and digitalized, making energy
more visible and helping reduce energy waste and the
associated carbon emissions by up to 20%2. We are committed
to helping customers improve operations with fewer resources
to exceed their stakeholders’ expectations, attract and
retain tenants, and enhance occupant experiences, whether
buildings are new or retrofit.”
Simplified access
and more integrations between systems and
data
Schneider Electric is the only company to
integrate non-critical power within its building management
system (BMS), and now PowerLogic™ power
meter and energy data is more easily accessible in EcoStruxure
Building Operation. Additionally, now its
electric vehicle (EV) EVlink
Pro AC and EVlink
Wallbox charging stations and EcoStruxure EV
Charging Expert data can be integrated with Building
Operation and EcoStruxure
Power Monitoring Expert. This
enables the charging stations to be monitored and controlled
in a single view with building and power systems. Facility
managers can understand their onsite EV chargers’ energy
consumption, how the building’s load demand and power
quality are impacted, and limit or adjust power delivered to
the charging stations, such as when the building is
operating off-grid.
Access to more building data with
reduced environmental impact
The newly released
EcoStruxure Building Operation 2023 enables
access to the largest volume of building data of any BMS
provider, making global enterprise and large-scale site
expansions easier and more flexible. This release also
introduces EcoStruxure Edge Server, the
first stand-alone “containerized” version of BMS
software, which avoids the need and expense of hardware
(such as controllers) and their associated scope 3 embodied
carbon. The Edge Server
for Building Operation is deployed faster than
traditional BMS installations, and is a more resilient and
secure option available for buildings with modern
application hosting infrastructures, which are increasingly
common due to their power and resource
efficiency.
Increased functionality to reduce carbon
and reduce energy waste
EcoStruxure™
Connected Rooms Solutions is now enhanced with
new extension products for room ventilation system insight
and control. The new SpaceLogic RP-V for variable air volume
(VAV) controller works with the SpaceLogic
Insight-Sensor and Building Operation to
precisely control room environments based on anonymous
real-time people count occupancy information so energy is
used only where and when it’s needed. Connected Room
Solutions has been demonstrated to provide energy savings
(and associated operational carbon savings) of up to 23%
through controlling HVAC and lighting based on
occupancy.3
