New research conducted by Schneider Electric and global design firm WSP shows that retrofitting buildings using a digital-first approach can reduce operational carbon emissions by up to 70%. By deploying digital building and power management solutions in existing office buildings, emissions can be reduced by up to 42% with a payback period of less than three years. Additionally, replacing fossil fuel-powered heating technologies with electric-powered alternatives and installing a microgrid with local renewable energy sources can achieve an additional 28% reduction in emissions. The research, based on modeling the energy performance and emissions of a large office building in the early 2000s across various US Climate Zones, demonstrates that this digital-first approach is applicable to all ...
