Commercial Real Estate IoT solutions

As global reporting standards advance, the commercial real estate industry is adapting. Sustainable development is becoming an ethos that has come to be expected by commercial real estate stakeholders and is accelerating. Corporate transparency is crucial for developing strategies, mitigating risk, and driving asset valuations. Our global sustainability consulting team has you covered.

We begin with a comprehensive sustainability strategy that leverages the technologies available across your organization. Ensure a truly sustainable operation when you reduce your environmental footprint, buy renewable energy, and keep your business compliant with all regulations. Employ an active energy management approach by breaking down silos to join your sustainability strategy with your energy efficiency projects and energy procurement.

Our solutions help commercial real estate professionals achieve sustainability goals by reducing energy usage and enabling carbon credit spending. We continually monitor results, ensure progress, and deploy new efficiencies. Our solutions include consulting and planning services to integrate high-impact energy-savings strategies, rate/tariff optimization, budget development, risk management, commodities forecasting and intelligence, data collection, and bill payment. 

With increased regulation and expectations over energy and carbon conservation measures, it is important for real estate professionals to identify, prioritize, and track these measures systematically through available technology.

Green building certifications are an integral component in most asset management practices. EcoStruxure can help you achieve best-in-class results and deliver amazing experiences for occupants while ensuring building owners and tenants can fully and accurately complete their sustainability reports. 

Providing clean energy and utility consumption data is a vital service to corporate real estate leaders globally. Schneider Electric can help you achieve these certifications and communicate critical sustainability data with stakeholders.

For commercial real estate to be attractive to tenants, it must be comfortable and enable the health and well-being of its occupants. We deliver advanced EcoStruxure architecture solutions for enhanced employee and occupant comfort and productivity.

Additionally, you may improve your occupants’ experience with a personalized, easy-to-navigate environment using the EcoStruxure Engage Enterprise App. This application offers your building occupants extensive out-of-the-box services such as smart parking, room booking, comfort control, and dining options on a single, intuitive platform.

Identify and reallocate underutilized desks, offices, meeting rooms, and amenities with real-time data to maximize space resources in your commercial real estate property.

Planon Workplace Insights is a workplace management software solution to create smart offices. Optimize space use, improve comfort and employee experience, enhance productivity, and reduce facility service costs. Derive actionable insights through intuitive dashboards with data from IoT sensors and systems. Plus, employees and occupants can connect to their smart offices in efficient, convenient ways using office mobile apps.

Combine energy procurement, efficiency, and load balancing to turn your building’s energy into an asset by tapping into the microgrid opportunity. A microgrid is a self-contained electrical network that allows you to generate your own electricity on-site and use it when you need it most. A microgrid is thus a type of distributed energy resource.

You can operate microgrids connected to the utility grid or in disconnected island mode. When the grid goes down or electricity prices peak, microgrids respond. And now, with energy-as-a-service financing, we can help you build a microgrid with zero upfront cost.

Maximize the net operation income (NOI) of your commercial properties by making your buildings smart and agile – enabling tenant attraction and retention and an efficient return to the workplace. Smart space management sensors and solutions facilitate people counting in socially distanced workspaces while keeping building occupants comfortable and productive.

With Planon Workplace Insights, occupancy analytics help optimize facility management services and make operational decisions faster with access to real-time occupancy data and analytics. Adjust and improve lighting and HVAC levels, and schedule cleaning and security services based on actual space utilization trends.

Schneider Electric is committed to providing solutions that support your needs for cybersecurity across your real estate portfolio. We apply a rigorous mindset, policies, and methodologies in the development of our products and the implementation of our solutions.

Our operations team securely manages cloud assets, protects user access, monitors for unusual behavior, and responds in case of a detected incident following globally recognized practices and standards from ISO, CSA, and IEC.

To protect data confidentiality and integrity, we ensure that network connections between our customers and our cloud infrastructure are always authenticated and secured.

With the digitization of building systems and the usage of digital tools by building occupants, commercial buildings are more dependent than ever on reliable power.

Digitization of the electrical distribution system helps bring greater visibility and insights to facilitate the decision-making process. It also helps demystify complex power quality issues that can affect the operations and longevity of your commercial real estate assets.

With EcoStruxure Power, we provide digital and power system reference designs and software that significantly streamline the design-build process, reducing the overall risk and the cost of implementation.
