Schneider Electric’s SmartStruxure solution is designed to maximise the energy efficiency of buildings and reduce operating costs during the entire lifecycle of a facility. A SmartStruxure solution comprises hardware and software that is combined with engineering, installation and services to ensure facilities are energy efficient and effectively managed.

A SmartStruxure solution breaks down traditional information silos and delivers integrated building information and real-time data via web access, powerful graphics and trend visualisations, rich reports and mobile applications.

SmartStruxure is based on open standards such as LON, BACnet, Modbus, Web Services and Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Web Services. The solution also enables numerous advanced building services, such as automated mechanical equipment analysis and building optimisation.

The SmartStruxure solution is powered by StruxureWare building-operation software — providing integrated monitoring, control and management of HVAC, energy, lighting and other building systems. The solution connects easily to other StruxureWare applications within suites, developed to address the various needs of key market sectors. Supported by EcoStruxure Web Services, the suites unify key software applications across all levels of an enterprise, providing a scalable platform.
