Schneider Electric wants to explore solutions for buildings that reduce their footprint in the long term by measuring and optimizing energy use smartly and actively. We define buildings as entities where people live or work, so we are talking households and apartments but also shops, offices, warehouses, restaurants, bakeries, etc.
We are looking for partners who can help us with the integration of new developments on the local market - such as dynamic pricing – into our existing platform. We want to control and actively regulate energy use and bring the effectiveness of buildings to another level.
