Mississauga, ON, January 10, 2024 – Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, earned the leader ranking in Verdantix’s recent “Green Quadrant: Energy Management Software 2023.” This recognition highlights Schneider Electric’s comprehensive capabilities and solutions and progressive approach to system integration.
The global energy and climate crises have generated a surge of interest in energy management software, as organizations actively seek solutions to address energy price volatility and accelerate the decarbonization of buildings and other facilities. Recognizing this pressing need, Verdantix’s report, the first of its kind by the respected research and advisory firm, addresses the growing demand from real estate and facilities executives for information on high-quality energy management solutions.
Buildings account for 37 per cent of global carbon emissions, with 26 per cent attributed to building energy consumption, according to the IEA Tracking Clean Energy Progress report. With digital solutions providing the fastest path to net zero, organizations that prioritize efficiency can make significant progress in tackling the climate and energy crisis while unlocking substantial cost savings.
Noting a growing trend of companies wanting to move toward vendors that offer holistic solutions, Verdantix reviewed 15 providers of energy management solutions around the world.
“Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Platform, scoring highest both in capabilities and in momentum in this Green Quadrant report due to its comprehensive offering,” said Harry Wilson, industry analyst and lead author of the report. “The solution provides true end-to-end energy management, helping customers on their journey to net zero.”
“The report's findings showcase not only our commitment to delivering comprehensive solutions that drive electrification and digitalization — which together are the fastest route to net zero — but also our preparedness to serve as a trusted partner and consultant across every aspect of energy management,” said Olivier Blum, Executive Vice President, Energy Management at Schneider Electric. “We have identified a list of 10 tangible priorities for driving the decarbonization buildings – with energy management software and data at the core of these actions – and it’s great to see external validation for our approach.”
Verdantix highlighted Schneider Electric's technological expertise, calling out the company’s ability to provide comprehensive packages that capture and combine data from both building management and power management solutions, and turning that data into actionable insights for customers. The report assessed several Schneider Electric products, including EcoStruxure Building Advisor, EcoStruxure Building Operation, EcoStruxure Microgrid Advisor, EcoStruxure Power Advisor, EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert, and EcoStruxure Resource Advisor.
