We need to change the way we design and run buildings to be more engaging, hyper-efficient, truly sustainable, and simple, as our <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.se.com\/building-management\/2019\/10\/21\/re-inventing-buildings-to-be-future-proof\/?utm_source=SE%20Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Traffic_Initiative_ISB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Digital Energy Division EVP Laurent Bataille recently explained at Innovation Summit Barcelona<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018why\u2019 of this is clear. More people are moving to cities, more buildings will be needed, and buildings are huge consumers of electricity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But how do we drive the re-invention of commercial and industrial buildings? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As explained in Barcelona, the Internet of Things is enabling us to connect our building systems and devices to capture more information than ever before. But without the right tools to analyze and act on the data your building cannot operate to its full potential.<\/p>\n<p>To unlock the potential, we must have the right digital infrastructure in place. Powerful opportunities arise when the foundation of a building consists of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Connected Products for a strong digital IP backbone<\/li>\n<li>Edge Control solutions for robust integration and control<\/li>\n<li>Apps, Analytics &amp; Services to support enterprise services at scale<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Offering a host of services for facility managers, tenants, security teams and more, EcoStruxure Building, is an open, scalable, secure platform that harnesses the power of the IoT to create truly connected, future-ready digital buildings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More engaging<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneider-electric.com\/en\/product-range\/66378-the-connected-room-solution\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Connected Room Solution<\/a>, new to the EcoStruxure Building portfolio, puts building owners, facility managers, and occupants in complete control of rooms and spaces. Whether in a hotel room or office, occupants can control lights and blinds through a mobile application. The solutions also make life simpler for installers, with an e-commissioning app guiding them through the set-up process then enabling monitoring for maintenance purposes, all from a smartphone. These solutions provide a leap forward for efficiency, as well as making buildings more comfortable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hyper-efficient<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With Apps, Analytics, and Services, building owners and facility managers have the ability to act on data they\u2019re seeing across their facilities in order to boost efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Another example from the EcoStruxure Building portfolio is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneider-electric.com\/en\/work\/services\/field-services\/building-services\/building-advisor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EcoStruxure Building Advisor<\/a>, which enables building owners and facility managers to proactively manage multiple sites anywhere in the world in one dashboard. This is one of the ways EcoStruxure can help leverage some of the 90% of data collected in buildings that is currently unutilized. Building Advisor enables predictive maintenance by monitoring how building equipment is functioning verses how it should be. This means work is only done when it\u2019s needed, rather than on a schedule.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Truly sustainable<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another solution from the Apps, Analytics and Services layer of our EcoStruxure platform is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneider-electric.com\/en\/product-range-presentation\/65478-ecostruxure%E2%84%A2-power-advisor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EcoStruxure Power Advisor.<\/a> It ensures your system &#8211; your meters, power quality mitigation equipment, and power monitoring software &#8211; is functioning properly so your operations run smoothly, minimizing unexpected downtime. With support and guidance from our experts, you can improve your visibility into your power management systems, and proactively address potential issues before they can impact your business.<\/p>\n<p>Another new solution, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneider-electric.com\/en\/work\/services\/field-services\/building-services\/workplace-advisor-smart-offices.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EcoStruxure Workplace Advisor<\/a>, uses IoT sensors to tell building owners which spaces are being used by occupants. Unlocking this data means facility managers can better optimize their space and HVAC. Using CO<sub>2<\/sub> and volatile compound measurements, it provides a health index so buildings owners and facility managers can create better spaces for occupants to live or work.<\/p>\n<p>These are just some of the ways Schneider Electric is innovating and changing the way buildings are designed to meet energy and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.se.com\/sustainability\/2019\/09\/23\/climate-change-our-generations-biggest-challenge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">climate change challenges<\/a>. For a long time, the conversation around re-inventing buildings has been about the future, about what <em>will<\/em> happen. But these are solutions that can be implemented today for almost immediate cost and energy savings.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, watch the Expert Learning Session delivered at Innovation Summit Barcelona 2019 about the how\u2019s and why\u2019s of engaging, efficient, and future-ready buildings.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tyPDBl3wRp0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"420\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" style=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>To know more about Innovation Summit Barcelona 2019, check the other blog posts from this series:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.se.com\/building-management\/2019\/10\/21\/re-inventing-buildings-to-be-future-proof\/?utm_source=SE%20Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Traffic_Initiative_ISB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Re-inventing buildings to be future-proof<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.se.com\/datacenter\/2019\/10\/22\/empowering-the-digital-transformation-and-tackling-the-challenges-of-the-edge\/?utm_source=SE%20Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Traffic_Initiative_ISB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Empowering the Digital Transformation and Tackling the Challenges of the Edge\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.se.com\/energy-management-energy-efficiency\/2019\/10\/04\/powering-and-digitizing-the-economy-the-formula-for-a-sustainable-future\/?utm_source=SE%20Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Traffic_Initiative_ISB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Powering and digitizing the economy: The formula for a sustainable future<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.se.com\/building-management\/2019\/10\/23\/making-buildings-efficient-engaging-and-future-ready\/\">Making buildings efficient, engaging, and future-ready<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.se.com\">Schneider Electric Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.se.com\/building-management\/2019\/10\/23\/making-buildings-efficient-engaging-and-future-ready\/\" target=\"bwo\" >http:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/feed\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Credit to Author: Guest Blogger| Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2019 23:46:25 +0000<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This blog post is part of a series from Innovation Summit Barcelona 2019, a two-day event that brings together more than 3,500 industry professionals, solution experts, and IoT leaders to&#8230;  <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.se.com\/building-management\/2019\/10\/23\/making-buildings-efficient-engaging-and-future-ready\/\" title=\"ReadMaking buildings efficient, engaging, and future-ready\">Read more &#187;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.se.com\/building-management\/2019\/10\/23\/making-buildings-efficient-engaging-and-future-ready\/\">Making buildings efficient, engaging, and future-ready<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.se.com\">Schneider Electric Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[12389,12388],"tags":[12425,12629,23269,23270,23271,23048,23015,23272,23236,23273],"class_list":["post-16685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-scadaics","category-schneider","tag-building-management","tag-buildings","tag-buildings-schneider-electric","tag-connected-room-solution","tag-ecostruxure-building-advisor","tag-ecostruxure-power-advisor","tag-ecostruxure-workplace-advisor","tag-future-ready-buildings","tag-innovation-summit-barcelona-2019","tag-rebecca-boll"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16685","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16685"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16685\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16685"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
