Whether your organization owns commercial property, leases it, or manages it, you're likely to be grappling with industry trends and challenges that call on your best efforts-and the innovative application of technology.
The need to reduce energy costs and the growth of hybrid work have converged to impact building management and the way facilities teams, real estate professionals, and IT do their jobs.
CO2 emissions from buildings-some 30% of all carbon emissions-are concerning.
So is the need to deliver a high-quality, environmentally sound occupant experience.
In response, Cisco and strategic alliance partner Schneider Electric have built and continuously refined a solution that leverages Cisco hardware, real-time location-based insights-such as building occupancy and temperature-from Cisco Spaces, and Schneider Electric's management platform, EcoStruxure™ Building Operation.
We can't understate the impact of remote and hybrid work models in this scenario.
Smart building management technology solutions make it possible from the outset to design buildings that act as people magnets, spaces that encourage employees to work productively and collaboratively with their peers.
Cisco and Schneider Electric have discovered that when smart building technology-digital signage, electronic whiteboards, needs-based HVAC, and ceiling sensors, for example-are incorporated into the initial building design, companies can realize great benefits in terms of connectivity and visibility.
Real-time and real-world, they have learned that making a shift from a cubicle focus to a collaboration workspace focus also makes a big difference in productivity and engagement.
Of course, adding technology through a retrofit is clearly beneficial because it enables our customers to do more with fewer resources.
Cisco and Schneider Electric are on board to support this effort.
People-centricity: Increasing occupant comfort and productivity-and contributing to health and wellness-through higher service levels and faster response across the workspace.
Reduced energy consumption: Managing HVAC and lighting based on real-time occupancy data gathered by Cisco Spaces.
Time and money savings: Integrating, monitoring, and managing IT and OT data and accessing analytics-driven insights through a single, mobile-enabled portal.
Resilient response: Deploying solutions faster through straightforward, highly secure integration of Cisco network technology with Schneider Electric's Building Operation.
Sustainability: Reducing carbon emissions, monitoring electrical systems, and fine-tuning energy use to create building environments that meet industry standards.
