Schneider Electric has launched the ‘lite’ version of its SmartStruxure solution, providing a fast way to future-fit and retrofit small to medium sized buildings for HVAC control, lighting and metering. With SmartStruxure Lite, users can save energy, gain efficiency, maintain a healthy and productive environment and access their building systems anytime, anywhere.
According to Artur Socha, buildings division product manager at Schneider Electric South Africa, small to medium sized commercial buildings now have an affordable building management solution to meet their needs. “By providing anytime, anywhere access to building information on a simple user interface, SmartStruxure Lite lowers energy costs without compromising on comfort,” he says.
As a simple web-based solution delivering one-click access to building system information, the product provides a single interface to connect HVAC, lighting and metering. It is customisable to fit the specific needs of the user’s facility and is a scalable, high-performance system based on open protocols. “Up to 60% of energy costs in a building are related to lighting and HVAC,” Socha explains. “This solution helps reduce energy costs and increase building performance while simplifying daily operations. It also provides users with remote access to their systems via a mobile device or the cloud.”
Aside from reducing installation time, labour and cost, SmartStruxure Lite is a suitable retrofit solution for HVAC, lighting and metering applications. Optimal environmental comfort also increases employee productivity. The product’s ecosystem delivers open system functionality from basic control up to the cloud. It consists of a wireless site manager/gateway, a universal controller, input/output controller, VAV and room controller.
