Schneider Electric has launched EcoStruxure Building Operation 3.2, an open integration platform that addresses the entire building ecosystem. It is a scalable and secure architecture that lets users monitor, manage and control building operations on one central system.

“In our current environment, we require buildings to operate differently than we did just six short months ago,” said Hugo Lafontaine, vice president of Schneider Electric in Canada. “Whether buildings are being used for work, education or leisure, smart buildings are the way of the future. Our EcoStruxure Building Operation 3.2 connects a building’s devices, sensors and systems and turns this high volume of data into valuable insights, supporting increased efficiency and an improved occupant experience.”

The system provides an integrated view of all building systems including HVAC, lighting, fire safety, security and workplace management to support smart buildings in becoming more sustainable, resilient, efficient and people-centric. With access to more information, improved performance and enhanced security, the latest version of EcoStruxure Building helps facility managers save on time and money, all while creating a better environment for occupants.

The platform provides users with real-time insights into building operations through easy-to-use and customisable dashboards. The dashboards provide users with access to all data, eliminating the need for multiple third-party tools. Access to this information allows building and facility managers to control building amenities quickly and diagnose and resolve building events on-the-go.

With a scalable and open framework, it is suitable for all building systems, from small to large and even complex, multi-site buildings. The platform supports a range of industries and has been applied in healthcare, hotels, commercial real estate, recreational facilities and mixed-use developments.
