About Schneider Electric and the impact you can make

Did you know that commercial buildings represent about 33% of the world's total energy consumption? They're also the places where people spend most of their indoor time. To operate efficiently, buildings need a smart "brain" that connects thousands of data points and coordinates systems like HVAC, lighting, access control, and more.

At Schneider Electric, our Buildings business delivers this capability through EcoStruxure Building, an advanced platform that turns buildings into smarter, greener and more human-centric spaces. By joining us, you contribute directly to the evolution of intelligent buildings and to a more sustainable future.
