In smart factories and distribution centers, the Group implements the three-layer EcoStruxure ™ architecture, with connected meters and sensors to monitor energy consumption and quality, Edge Control Power Monitoring software to optimize daily operations, and analytics and services to benchmark performance and optimize energy and maintenance. Asset Performance Management also enables the Group to optimize operations and maintenance, for maximum uptime and longevity. Four of Schneider Electric’s smart factories have been designated as 4 th Industrial Revolution (4IR) Advanced Lighthouses by the World Economic Forum (WEF), in China, France, the US, and Indonesia. Another two are classified as Developing Lighthouses in China and Mexico. Recently in 2021, the Lexington facility in the US was named one of the first three Sustainability Lighthouses in the world by the WEF. With its Smart Factory and Distribution Center (DC) programs, the Group has deployed advanced manufacturing technologies in over 80 smart factories and DCs in the past four years. In offices, Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure ™ solutions Building and Workplace Advisor enable analytics of BMS data alongside space, utilization, and comfort metrics. These smart solutions enable the Group and site leaders to actively benchmark and develop occupancy and facility management strategies to ensure continuous right sizing of its footprint and site occupation to keep energy consumption and resultant emissions to a minimum, while reducing costs and improving employee experience and comfort. Spotlight: IntenCity R&D Center, Grenoble, France Near the end of 2020, Schneider opened IntenCity, its new R&D flagship located in the scientific area of Grenoble, France. This 26,000 square meter building welcomes 1,500 employees, and aims to become a world reference of sustainability and efficiency in buildings. IntenCity was designed and built with Schneider building and power management technologies. Its building management is operated by EcoStruxure ™ Building Operation (EBO). Energy consumptions are optimized thanks to EcoStruxure ™ Power Monitoring Expert (PME). Finally, IntenCity produces its own green and microgrid connected energy, managed by EcoStruxure ™ Microgrid Advisor (EMA). IntenCity is equipped with a heating and cooling system made of two thermorefrigerating pumps which enable the building to efficiently serve its very low power needs. The rooftops are covered with 4,000 square meters of solar panels complemented by two vertical wind turbines and backed by 300 kWh of battery storage capacity. Thanks to these energy production and storage systems, the full 970 kWh required to operate the building on an annual basis can be entirely compensated by its on-site green energy production. The combination of those technologies enables IntenCity to drop its energy needs in operation to a staggeringly low level of 37 kWh/ sqm/year, and, according to the WGBC definition, to be net-zero carbon emission right from its commissioning date. IntenCity is currently in the process of gaining LEED Platinum certification with the ambition to achieve a score of 100/110, making it the most efficient and sustainable building in the world.
