Today, with accelerating urbanization and exponential growth in data, information and connected devices, it is estimated that the global urban population will reach 2.5 billion by 2020, while the world's electricity consumption will increase by 60% in the next 20 years, and more than half of this consumption will come from buildings.
May 17, 2018, China - Schneider Electric, the global leader in digital transformation in energy efficiency management and automation, recently launched EcoStruxure for Building 2018 (EcoStruxure for the Building market) in Shanghai, through the connectivity of products, edge control, Comprehensive innovation at the three levels of application, analysis and service, forming a new open innovation platform in the construction field, in order to help customers in the hotel, medical, commercial buildings and other fields to further improve the efficiency and business value of the whole life cycle of the building.
Today, with accelerating urbanization and exponential growth in data, information and connected devices, it is estimated that the global urban population will reach 2.5 billion by 2020, while the world's electricity consumption will increase by 60% in the next 20 years, and more than half of this consumption will come from buildings. Building construction and operation are facing greater challenges in the future. How to make full use of the limited space in buildings, apply more innovative technologies to improve the energy efficiency of buildings, and meet the growing individual needs of users has become the focus of attention of building developers and operators.
As a market leader in energy efficient buildings, Schneider Electric has always been based on industry development and continuous innovation, EcoStruxure for Building 2018 through the open end-to-end IP architecture, enabling fast connectivity of iot devices, easier data collection, and faster commissioning and change speed; Use the building management system to seamlessly connect the building with third-party systems and equipment, centralized control and enhanced collaboration; Leveraging innovative applications, analytics and services that help enable predictive analytics and insights based on big data and field conditions to make more informed real-time decisions, combined with full lifecycle services, will create value in four areas:
Building adds value, optimizes the building's interior environment, thereby enhancing user comfort and experience, inspiring inspiration and productivity.
Double efficiency, capture more data through a large number of connected devices, and use AI's powerful analytics to suggest improvements and deliver higher levels of efficiency.
More sustainable, saving 30%-50% of electricity consumption and further optimizing energy efficiency to reduce carbon emissions.
Easy installation, easier and faster construction and installation, creating greater benefits for partners and the entire value chain.
In addition, by integrating advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and big data analytics, EcoStruxure for Building 2018 provides a more secure and scalable open platform. As a core component of the architecture, two innovative applications will bring new digital experiences to customers:
EcoStruxure Power Advisor: Using cutting-edge technologies such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence, real-time monitoring and analysis of the operating status of the building's internal power distribution system can effectively identify power quality and data quality problems, improve power reliability and asset and equipment performance, and escort the building's internal power distribution system with whole-life cycle expert services.
EcoStruxure Energy Advisor Cloud Energy Efficiency: A group-level energy management platform based on cloud architecture and big data analysis services, it provides users with energy information storage and display, indicator intelligent prediction, energy efficiency diagnosis and expert consulting services to help enterprises tap energy saving potential and achieve energy efficiency goals.
At the event, Laurent Bataille, Executive Vice President of Schneider Electric's Global Energy Efficient Buildings business, attended and delivered an important speech. He said: "Schneider Electric is a global leader in the building market, but China's growth rate has been remarkable, and its building market potential and space are particularly outstanding. With the upgrade of EcoStruxure for the building market, we believe that it will continue to promote the development of Schneider Electric's relevant business in China, and we will continue to increase investment in all aspects for further development
Laurent Bataille, Executive Vice President of Schneider Electric's Global Energy Efficient Buildings business, delivered the keynote address
It is based on EcoStruxure for the building market that Schneider Electric provides full life cycle services and strong and weak electricity integration solutions for Schwarzman College of Tsinghua University with a total construction area of 24,000 square meters, creating an excellent learning and living environment for teachers and students of the college. The building has passed the U.S. LEED Gold level and the domestic GBL two-star dual certification, becoming the most intelligent and sustainable comprehensive international business school in the country.
Customer representatives share the value of applying Schneider Electric solutions on site
Xie Jijun, Senior Vice President of Schneider Electric and head of China Energy efficient Building business, said at the press conference: "Schneider Electric has already provided equipment and services to more than one million buildings worldwide, and with the launch of the new EcoStruxure for the building market, we will be able to provide a more comprehensive range of hardware and software products and complete solutions for hospitality, medical and commercial buildings, helping customers significantly improve their operations and energy efficiency, and working with more partners. Towards a new future of green buildings."
