Schneider Electric is transforming its Digital Buildings business in Canada with the launch of the SMART Buildings Division. This evolution marks a move to deliver comprehensive solutions and services that support building owners and operators in achieving their decarbonisation and sustainability goals.
The demand for smart buildings is surging, driven by a global shift toward sustainability, digitisation and energy efficiency. Canada’s real estate industry is actively transforming as the nation commits to net-zero emissions by 2050. With buildings consuming approximately 30% of the world’s energy and accounting for almost 40% of annual CO2 emissions, urgent action is needed to intensify efforts toward sustainable building practices.
“Through our SMART Buildings division in Canada, we’re set to enhance efficiency, sustainability and occupant comfort,” said Emily Heitman, the president of Schneider Electric Canada. “Our goal is to empower building owners and operators to create smarter, more efficient spaces for a sustainable future.”
The SMART Buildings division will provide:
- Enhanced energy efficiency: Optimising energy consumption intelligently to achieve significant cost savings and reduce environmental impact.
- Seamless automation: Creating harmonious environments where lighting, HVAC, security systems and more work together to optimise comfort and efficiency.
- Proactive maintenance: Using predictive analytics and remote monitoring to ensure proactive maintenance, minimise downtime and extend the lifespan of building systems.
- Occupant well-being: Prioritising occupant comfort with personalised settings, indoor air quality monitoring and intuitive interfaces that enhance overall experience.
- Data-driven insights: Providing valuable data analytics for informed decision-making and continuous improvement of building performance.
Schneider Electric’s SMART Buildings Division is committed to shaping the future of intelligent buildings. By implementing smart building technology, commercial real estate owners can optimise energy use, elevate tenant experience and enhance asset value.
