Recently, Schneider Electric dual-carbon era Enabling Design Institute stock business series activities were successfully held in Shanghai Station, many first-line experts in the field of electrical design gathered to discuss the future development of the stock building business field under the goal of “dual-carbon”. With deep practical experience in the transformation and upgrading of the construction field, leading digital technology and diversified digital product portfolio and services, Schneider Electric analyzes industry insights and effectively shares effective solutions to help design institute partners cope with challenges, find opportunities, and achieve business upgrading.

With the continuous improvement of urbanization in our country, urban infrastructure is constantly improving. The trend of new construction market in China’s real estate industry has declined, the stock market has gradually entered a stage of rapid growth, and the demand for the renovation of stock buildings has also emerged in large numbers. Under the wave of digital and low-carbon transformation, the design thinking of the stock building renovation project should not only seek to help customers maintain their needs and create value-added through intelligent means, but also meet the low-carbon construction needs under the goal of “double carbon”. Schneider Electric, a global expert in digital transformation in the field of energy management and automation, believes that in the transformation design of existing buildings, carbon reduction and digitalization should run through the entire life cycle of building products. The first step is full electrification and energy efficiency. Second, we should strengthen the use of renewable energy. Finally, building control and energy allocation should be enhanced through digital means, and the economics of the project can be accurately analyzed.

On the basis of the above ideas, in response to the industry’s confusion about the specific path of digital transformation, Schneider Electric combined its rich experience in the field of digital transformation and sustainability, and shared a set of carbon neutral overall solutions with its design institute partners. Under the proposition of “dual carbon target” and stock market, with the overall idea of “one body and two wings”, through the two grips of “digitalization” and “service”, the whole process of building carbon reduction is empowered. First of all, at the strategic level, we help enterprises to build a top-level plan for sustainable development and clearly guide the direction. Then sink to the key scenarios such as electrical safety, power quality, dual carbon energy efficiency, integrated energy microgrid, and so on, and dig deep into the landing value of services and digitalization. Through the integration of IT and OT, a complete closed loop covering consulting, design, deployment, evaluation, and optimization can be achieved to comprehensively improve the digitization level of projects, clearly plan the energy structure, and optimize energy efficiency performance. In practice, the above solutions have achieved excellent results. In a company’s headquarters building upgrade project, the software/hardware/service integration of the full life cycle solution to fully tap the project energy efficiency improvement space, found in the site of 18%-22% of the overall energy saving potential. Based on this, it is estimated that the project can achieve 3% energy savings per year during continuous operation and maintenance, and fully accelerate the realization of the goal of “carbon neutrality”.

In addition to the sharing of practical cases, the event also set up a forum to invite design experts to seek common development of the industry. From a first-line perspective, the main challenges and opportunities facing the stock building design mainly come from three aspects: policy, economy and technology. The design industry needs to broaden its business horizons across the full life cycle, guided by a viable methodology. And through a reliable product portfolio, enhance the feasibility of the solution, and ultimately achieve business value. It is believed that under the multi-dimensional empowerment of Schneider Electric, the partners of the design Institute will explore more new opportunities together with the ecosystem, and achieve high-quality business upgrades under the overall accelerated development trend of the industry.
