Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do.

EcoStruxure™ eMobility

More than just an electric vehicle (EV) charger, eMobility opens doors to a spectrum of players involved in the Electric Vehicle (EV) infrastructure, such as car manufacturers, commercial fleets and public network operators. eMobility will revolutionise the market with new business models and energy management strategies that can result in up to 30% reduction in CAPEX and OPEX. An optimised microgrid management supported by battery storage will also help EV providers achieve zero blackouts, apply tariff management, demand charge management and provide demand response advice to requests by commercial aggregators.

In collaboration with SkillsFuture Singapore and Nanyang Polytechnic, a “Electric Vehicle and Charging System” course will provide engineers and specialists with the knowledge to sharpen their skills in designing, setting up and configuring EV charging systems, preparing them for new opportunities in the growing EV market.

The Land Transport Authority of Singapore has also recently launched the Electric Vehicle Common Charger Grant (ECCG) to encourage the installation of shared EV chargers in non-landed private residences (NLPRs), such as condominiums and private apartments. As part of the early adoption incentive, the grant will co-fund installation costs of 2,000 EV chargers. The ECCG will be available until 31 December 2023, or until 2,000 chargers have been supported by co-funding, whichever is earlier. Interested parties may apply via the Government’s Business Grants Portal.

Buildings of the Future

90% of our time is spent indoors, and about 40% of global CO2 emissions are generated by buildings. A modern building embraces an all-digital, all-electric infrastructure to become more sustainable, resilient, efficient and people-oriented than ever. Locally, the Singapore Green Plan has also set targets to ‘Green’ 80% of Singapore’s buildings, require 80% of new developments to be Super Low Energy (SLE) and ensure 80% improvements in energy efficiency (over 2005 levels) for best-in-class green buildings, all by 2030.

With increasing priorities on occupant health and solutions to tackle climate change, buildings of the future should leverage IoT solutions to maximise electrification and actively manage energy use for better user and operational benefits. Explore our strategies and solutions here.

As a leading player in Commercial Real Estate, JLL regional headquarters in Singapore exemplifies the workplace of the future, featuring a single platform that manages all facility systems and integrations. The office space achieves operational efficiency and sustainability goals through IoT integrations and conditional-based maintenance. On the user experience front, occupants’ thermal comfort and well-being are also being taken care of with a seamless user experience and engagement. As Darren Battle, Head of Corporate Real Estate and Workplace at JLL APAC puts it, “users don’t even have to touch a switch”. With Schneider Electric solutions such as EcoStruxure™ for Real Estate, JLL’s new Asia-Pacific headquarters in Singapore leverages smart IoT technologies to support the company’s ambitions of creating the workplace of the future.

“These solutions help JLL improve the well-being of the occupants of the building, reduce energy use by 30%, and increase overall building value in a completely sustainable way.”

Schneider Electric EcoXpert Partners such as BMS Engineering (now acquired by Daikin Singapore) provide third-party expertise and integrations to make our solutions become more comprehensive for our customers. One such example is demonstrated in local tertiary institution, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, which implemented an upgrade on their existing BMS system to incorporate the latest technologies, drive operational efficiency and energy efficiency. The Schneider Electric EcoStruxure Building Operation works as a single platform at the control command centre, while the EcoStruxure Building Advisor provides value-added services and EcoStruxure Asset Advisor provides predictive maintenance of their electrical assets. Such partnerships allow us to give our customers the best-in-class and future-ready solutions to boost their digital and innovative branding.

Go Green Competition

As a way to involve our community in innovation and sustainability efforts, “Go Green” is a global initiative set up in partnership with AVEVA for students around the world to come together and push the boundaries of digital transformation in Energy Management. Students can submit their #BOLDIdeas in any of the five categories, namely Access, Homes, Plants, Grids and De[coding], and selected participants will receive mentorship, career opportunities and get to pitch their ideas on a global stage. Global winners will be awarded a trip to one of 5 major cities, with the chance to visit Schneider Electric’s offices and network with its employees and management executives.
