How Schneider Electric Helps Businesses Future-Proof
From offices to homes and gyms, much of daily life in the modern world revolves around buildings.
The buildings sector accounts for 37% of global energy-related emissions, so changes in this area could make a big difference to businessesâ environmental footprint.
Regulations around the world are mandating greener buildings, and the Real Estate Board of New York estimates that around 3,700 properties in the city may face building non-compliance charges of up to US$200m annually.
Schneider Electric has been recognised as a leader in building decarbonisation services by a Verdantix Green Quadrant study for its expertise in future-proofing buildings.
Measured across 21 capability areas, Schneider Electric scored highly in many.
The business achieved top scores in optimised building systems management, energy use modelling and renewable energy strategy and procurement.
“Buildings of the future must be electric, digitised and decarbonised by design and operation,” says Steve Wilhite, President of the Sustainability Business at Schneider Electric.
“The world’s low carbon future depends on this.
“I applaud the razor sharp focus this report places on leading services that help optimise building systems to drive energy efficiency and decarbonisation.
“Not only were we evaluated in this report, we are honoured to be named the top leader and we’re proud to be recognised for our end to end approach to sustainability and energy management advisory services.”

Why Verdantix chose Schneider Electric as a building decarbonisation leader
Optimisation processes, such as software upgrades, can provide energy use intensity savings of up to 26% per year according to the UK Green Building Council.
Schneider Electricâs EcoStruxure Building Management System has shown some outstanding results in this area.
Aspiria campus, in the Kansas City metropolitan area, is the USâs second largest corporate campus with nearly four million feet of commercial space.
Using this solution, Aspiria reduced its campus carbon footprint by 36% and its annual energy use by 16%.
This resulted in savings of around US$1.5m.
EcoStruxure is deployed across 480,000 sites around the world and supports various use cases including performance optimisation and energy efficiency.
Schneider Electric also scored highly in the study due to the breadth of its customer base and the global reach of its energy management services.
The Verdantix paper recommends Schneider Electric for organisations âlooking to comprehensively transition energy use towards renewablesâ.
