Schneider Electric’s Paris HQ Turns Occupancy Data Into Energy Savings

Propmodo Technology

Greetings,

The real estate industry has long speculated about the impact of self-driving cars, but progress has been stalled by technical challenges and regulatory barriers. Now, significant developments on both fronts may bring autonomous vehicles closer to reality. General Motors has announced a partnership with Nvidia to leverage its chips and software for self-driving technology, while major tech companies and automakers are urging the Trump administration to ease regulatory restrictions. If autonomous vehicles hit the streets at scale, we’ll finally see their effect on parking demand in cities and the design of commercial buildings.

Today, we're exploring how space management technology is transforming building efficiency. Schneider Electric’s Paris headquarters, Le Hive, became a testbed for energy management, using 3,500 sensors to cut energy use by 50%, carbon emissions by 44%, and costs by 38%, with upgrades paying for themselves in five years. Meanwhile, smarter occupancy tracking, like Occuspace’s real-time, anonymous insights, is optimizing space, reducing energy waste, and improving long-term planning for more efficient, adaptable buildings.

Let’s go!
