Schneider Electric – Building Energy Management Made Simple

 
As one of the world's most densely populated urban areas, Hong Kong faces unique challenges in addressing the environmental impact of its built environment. With approximately 50,000 buildings, the city's real estate sector accounts for a significant portion of its total energy consumption and emissions.

Driven by a shared commitment to sustainability, the industry has come together in recent years to forge partnerships to identify energy optimisation opportunities and realise the impact of efficiency improvements across the city's building stock.

Enabling these partnerships is the adoption of connected devices and analytics, which are unlocking unprecedented visibility into buildings’ energy infrastructures, allowing building owners, facility personnel and stakeholders to make informed, data-driven decisions, from equipment upgrades to behaviour change programmes – unlocking win-win outcomes.

Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Energy HubTM provides a simple and effective building energy management system that delivers live insights into buildings' energy infrastructures within hours of deployment, creating energy accountability for enhancing operational efficiency, resilience and sustainability. The potential impact is substantial, with possible savings of up to 30% on energy spend.

By leveraging insights from EcoStruxure Energy Hub to prioritise and verify the impact of energy optimisation investments, building professionals can unlock mutual rewards in the form of lower operating expenses, a measurable decrease in the building's carbon footprint and business continuity.

As Hong Kong continues to strengthen its policy framework and market incentives for decarbonisation, collaborative, technology-driven initiatives are poised to become key drivers in transforming the city's built environment into a more sustainable and resilient urban landscape.
