Schneider Electric Introduces EcoStruxure™ Building Activate, Simplifying Automated Management for Small and Mid-size Buildings

  • Building owners and operators can reduce energy costs by ~50% and operational carbon emissions by ~60%, driving both savings and sustainability 

  • EcoStruxure™ Building Activate ensures an attractive payback of less than two years 

Schneider Electric, the global leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, has launched EcoStruxure™ Building Activate, an energy management and automation IoT platform for small and mid-size buildings (>10k sqm each).  

This innovative software platform addresses the growing demand for simple, flexible, and cost-effective solutions that empower building owners and operators to reduce energy and operating costs, comply with energy and decarbonisation regulations, and improve customer retention – all without requiring an onsite facilities manager. 

“Rising costs, shrinking demand for commercial spaces, and updated regulations, and government funding are accelerating building renovation efforts around the globe,” said Kas Mohammed, Schneider Electric’s Vice President, Digital Energy UK&I. “Small and mid-size buildings represent a significant proportion of our built environment, and many will still be in use by 2050. But historically they have lacked access to affordable solutions for energy and operational efficiency. EcoStruxure™ Building Activate fills this gap by empowering our customers to reduce operational emissions and optimise energy use without costly, large-scale overhauls.” 

Ideal for sectors such as retail, hospitality, healthcare, education, and offices, EcoStruxure™ Building Activate is a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) designed to enable simple retrofitting. It eliminates the need for significant upfront costs associated with traditional software licensing and hardware infrastructure. Instead, users pay a recurring subscription fee resulting in lower upfront costs and a faster payback period of up to two years. The system is an open platform that works seamlessly with a wide range of equipment, integrating HVAC, lighting, refrigeration, and more. It is accessible via a user-friendly web and mobile interface.  

This flexible solution lets customers choose the features they need, ensuring they only pay for their necessary selections. Key features include: 

  • Sustainability Management: Reduce operational carbon emissions by up to 60% by monitoring utility data in real time and automating systems. 

After only six months of using EcoStruxure™ Building Activate’s energy management module, the historic 4-star hotel Grand Monarque saw a 15% energy reduction in its 600-year-old building, thanks to energy consumption insights and monitoring capabilities. Full financial payback was recovered in under 12 months. 

  • Energy Management: Slash energy demand by up to 48% through monitoring, analysing, optimising and controlling energy usage – ideal for facilities with limited or no existing building management system. 

  • Operations Management*: Manage 90% of issues remotely through real-time remote monitoring, control, and optimisation of building systems (e.g. HVAC, lighting, etc.) at the building and portfolio level, cutting operational issues by a third. 

  • Workplace Management*: Improve indoor conditions by up to 25% through monitoring and automatically adjusting air quality, temperature, and humidity levels, creating a healthier, more comfortable environment that is responsive to the needs of employees and customers. 

  • Asset Management*: Reduce asset breakdowns by 30% through instant anomaly alerts and planned preventive maintenance which reduces the risk of disruptions and extends the lifecycle of assets.  

In the era of Electricity 4.0, the convergence of electric and digital technologies is revolutionising energy management. As businesses managing small and mid-size buildings are grappling with how to bridge the gap between sustainability ambition and action, EcoStruxure™ Building Activate emerges to offer one unified solution to streamline their operations for greater efficiency and sustainability.
