- 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
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.
