A smart building generates data from devices and sends it securely to the cloud, where predictive algorithms correlate it with other data to forecast results. These results are sent to mobile devices and back to the building management system to optimize settings and save energy and money. Schneider Electric's StruxureWare Building Expert platform provides a global architecture with modules for sustainability, energy management, asset management, and other functions on a unified data model. EcoStruxure bridges the gap between IT and operational technology to meet customer needs around cost reduction, risk mitigation, and improved asset value through the building lifecycle.
