UST envisioned an even smarter world-class facility where comfort meets sustainability – a building that would impress clients and boost employee productivity. Watch how EcoStruxure supports this unique ambition.

The Challenge

UST envisioned an upgrade to its already state-of-the-art smart building in Trivandrum, Kerala, India — one that would attract talent and impress customers.
The digital services company wanted to integrate systems that boost operational efficiency for a hyperconnected, hyper-comfortable headquarters.
The idea was to have a green building that represents the best of digital technology and sustainability, growing employee happiness and productivity.

The Solution

Digital comfort with EcoStruxure solutions

Apps, Analytics, and Services: EcoStruxure Building
Edge Control: EcoStruxure Building Operation
Connected Products: SmartX Controller — AS-P; EM6400 Series Power Meters

UST partnered with Schneider Electric to advise on creating — and implementing — the digitized building UST imagined.
Schneider integrated EcoStruxure Building Operation as the automated software that would unify operations and provide actionable building data through a single, digital interface available anytime, anywhere.
With EcoStruxure Building as an open architecture, several systems were integrated: HVAC, lighting, power, CCTV and third-party systems.

The Results

UST's iconic building reaches its "home away from home" goal, as employee satisfaction is high, with less than 10% attrition.
Schneider Electric helped to enhance the IoT-capability of their facility, improving comfort and cross-visibility – EcoStruxure Building reliably monitors, manages and optimizes their building performance.
The building had already earned a LEED and IGBC Gold-rating, but with EcoStruxure Building it is even more efficient. UST expects operational cost savings of 15% in just two years.
