17 Life Is On | Schneider Electric www.se.com Integrated report (1) International Energy Outlook 2019 (EIA) (2) UN environmental Program 2020 (3) International Energy Outlook 2019, End-use consumption is increasingly shifting toward electricity Homes of the Future At Schneider Electric, we bring to life sustainable and smart homes of the future by connecting the lifeline of your home – electricity – with digital, to help achieve carbon-neutral goals. We design solutions to: Make homes more sustainable Homes are the single largest consumer of electricity and contribute up to 20% of carbon dioxide emissions. Schneider Electric provides solutions to make homes multi-energy source ready, maximizing electrification and, therefore, decarbonization (e.g., switching from fossil fuel to electrical heating), making it easy to upgrade existing installations. Make homes more resilient Schneider Electric’s advanced technology helps customers secure homes against electrical hazard risks, cyber threats and power interruption. Unfortunately, defaults in electrical installations are more regular than we think, causing damage and losses. And they tend to become even more frequent with the ever-increasing number of natural disasters. One of our solutions, “Wiser” monitors the health of homes at any moment, so you can call an electrician before any harm is done. It also ensures that your critical appliances are powered even during outages. Make homes more efficient Digital solutions enable greater electrification. To deliver more efficiency, Wiser connects, controls and monitors devices, whether connected or not. For example, through an efficient temperature control you can save 20% to 30% in energy consumption, without compromising on comfort. Through real-time monitoring of your energy use, you have visibility over the electrical consumption of your home appliances and can put that information into action to reduce your electricity bill. Make homes more personal Schneider Electric helps you create a comfortable home with a bespoke style and personalized living experience at every moment. Thanks to digitization and machine learning, you can take complete control of your home while Wiser learns your preferences to deliver your unique smart home experience. Customer testimony: “As an innovative and committed advocate for the environment in the construction sector, Hexaom strives to make homes increasingly environmentally friendly and energy efficient. Our goal is to develop homes that are affordable, adaptive and self-reliant in terms of their energy needs. There are many such solutions on the market, across various fields, but they are largely complementary and lack an integrated “systems approach”. That is why we are proud of our partnership with Schneider Electric, which together with Wiser Energy Center has now enabled us to offer a turnkey system of energy self-consumption”.
