                                      Among the many challenges they face, retail property managers must attract and maintain tenants. Occupants face their own challenges: fickle consumers, pressure to deliver products, the effects of weather, the economy.

                                      By partnering with Schneider Electric, building managers and tenants can implement intelligent building control solutions that integrate data, voice, video, security, power management, lighting control, and HVAC into a single network platform.

                                      As an example, Schneider Electric designed and implemented a control infrastructure for a mixed use European marketplace the size of twenty football fields . The solution reduced energy costs by 25%, saved €120 million in investment costs, reduced power consumption by 45%, eliminated €500k in cabling costs, and enabled easier management through a single service contract for the whole facility
