ENHANCED CARE STARTS WITH A SMARTER BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The impact from the pandemic on the long-term care homes has brought to light the importance of optimal indoor air quality (IAQ) for the health and safety of occupants. But optimizing buildings for better IAQ requires HVAC systems to work harder, use more energy and involves regular monitoring and maintenance — which in turn increases operational costs.

Integrating smarter building management systems such as Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxureTM for Healthcare solution helps you tackle this challenge by boosting the operational and energy effi ciency of your long-term care facility by up to 30%.

The future-ready EcoStruxure for Healthcare solution is tailored to your facility to give visibility and control over the building’s conditions - allowing you to optimize energy efficiency for running the building. In terms of automation, the solution can set up schedules for systems like HVAC and lighting remotely further reducing labour costs. Multi-site portfolio management is also simplified and automated with visualizations for analysis and control of setpoints and schedules.

Schneider Electric provides energy and automation digital solutions for effi ciency and sustainability. As a global specialist in energy management with operations in more than 100 countries, Schneider Electric offers integrated solutions across energy and infrastructure, industrial processes, building automation, and data centers/ networks, as well as residential applications. ENHANCING OCCUPANT EXPERIENCE Integrating the building management system plays a key role in delivering the quality comfort, and health the occupants deserve. With remote monitoring and maintenance of air quality, temperature and lighting, the solution enables the best experience for your occupants while maintaining minimal energy usage. To follow compliance with infection control policies, the solution acts as an integrated control platform to monitor, manage and document patient care in occupant rooms.

With the added visibility, alerts to alarms and security threats are reported real-time for you to respond within seconds using the open, mobile, cloud security system. Pre-canned reports on occupant’s wellbeing and visitors can be generated and sent to the occupants’ loved ones for their peace of mind.

Designed for upgrading or modernization projects of any level, EcoStruxure for Healthcare can achieve higher effi ciencies in your facility operations and empower your personnel – anywhere, at any time. To learn more, visit se.com/ca/healthcare.
