Schneider Electric and Autodesk Collaborate to Enhance Current Practices for Building Lifecycle Management
**Public Company Information:**
NASDAQ: ADSK
**From Rueil-Malmaison, France & San Francisco – Business Wire**
Schneider Electric, the global expert in energy management, and Autodesk Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK), a world leader in 3D design, engineering, and entertainment software solutions, have recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding. This partnership aims to revolutionize current practices in building lifecycle management by leveraging Building Information Modeling (BIM).
Through this collaboration, both companies are exploring innovative ways to integrate their strengths, focusing on creating buildings that are more energy-efficient from the initial design and construction stages all the way through operation and eventual decommissioning. The partnership could introduce new solutions and services in critical areas like energy management, building automation, and workspace optimization.
Schneider Electric brings its expertise in electrical distribution, energy management, and building solutions, while Autodesk contributes its extensive suite of BIM-based design and construction tools, such as Autodesk Revit and Autodesk BIM 360. Together, these technologies hold immense potential to enhance the sustainability and efficiency of modern buildings.
Today, buildings account for roughly 40% of global energy consumption, 25% of water usage, and nearly one-third of greenhouse gas emissions. Yet, they also present a significant opportunity for reducing carbon footprints. By adopting digital BIM processes, we can achieve greater flexibility and long-term sustainability in constructing energy-efficient homes and workplaces.
BIM is a forward-thinking process that starts with creating an intelligent 3D model to gather, analyze, and maintain data related to a building's lifecycle—ranging from planning and design to construction and operational phases. The model ensures consistency and coordination throughout the project, facilitating better simulations, analyses, and collaborative decision-making.
"Building sustainable, high-performance structures begins with a comprehensive, holistic view of the entire building lifecycle," said Jean-Luc Meyer, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Innovation at Schneider Electric. "This collaboration builds upon Schneider Electric's decades-long commitment to integrating building management systems that reduce energy costs, lower capital expenses, cut operational expenditures, and boost overall business performance. Digitizing the building project lifecycle holds enormous promise, and we believe our partnership with Autodesk will catalyze transformative change within the construction industry, adding immense value to every stakeholder while addressing the global energy crisis."
Amar Hanspal, Autodesk’s Senior Vice President of Information Modeling and Platform Group, echoed this sentiment: "For years, Autodesk has championed sustainable building design and construction by providing our customers with BIM tools that enable swift and impactful energy assessments. However, the operational phase of a building represents a massive untapped opportunity to maximize energy efficiency over the long term. We’re excited to join forces with Schneider Electric to explore how we can deliver groundbreaking solutions that seamlessly connect energy efficiency across the entire building lifecycle."

Benefits of Cast Iron
Cast iron is particularly well suited for all drainage systems as it offers many benefits, both for
above and below ground installation, which include:
Strength and durability - cast iron pipes are highly resistant to distortion caused by accident
or vandalism.
Long life - when correctly installed cast iron drainage systems will last the life of the building,
whether domestic, public, industrial or commercial.
Low maintenance - cast iron requires little ongoing maintenance, annual inspections are
recommended but remedial action is rarely required.
Design Capability - cast iron can meet the needs of restoration, refurbishment, conservation and
heritage work as well as new, bespoke and unique designs.
Sustainability - in addition to lasting the life of a building and requiring minimal maintenance, cast
iron is also 100% recyclable and can therefore be used again after the building has gone.
Cost effective - owing to its longevity, durability and low maintenance, coupled with its fire
resistance and low noise operation, the cost benefits of cast iron are significant.
Fire resistance and Safety - The melting point of cast iron is considerably higher than PVCu or PE
and in the event of a fire will not emit toxic fumes or drop burning globules of material from one
compartment to another.
