www.se.com Schneider Electric Universal Registration Document 2021 16 Integrated report What we do Business Buildings of the Future We spend the majority of our lives in buildings. They are where we work, learn, shop, and spend time with the people who matter most. That is why it is more important than ever that buildings are: • Sustainable and return resources to our planet rather than just use them. • Resilient and ready for the unexpected. • Hyper-efficient, leveraging real-time data to be more responsive and deliver more for less. • People-centric with safe, healthy, and welcoming environments that improve comfort and productivity. Global demands for sustainability are forcing the industry to examine the role buildings play in producing carbon emissions and costly waste. The IEA estimates that the construction and operation of buildings consume 30% of the world’s energy, and account for almost 40% of annual global CO 2 emissions (1) . For building owners and operators seeking to meet sustainability targets, Schneider Electric offers a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to move from strategy and implementation to operation, optimization and green certification to achieve a net-zero building. With our services, software, and solutions, customers can increase their building valuation, meet or exceed investor and tenant expectations, and reach net-zero targets, while contributing to a better environment.
