Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, hosted its first “Homes of the Future” event in Egypt unveiling its innovative smart home solutions and its vision for this promising sector in the local market.
The event aligns with the Egyptian government’s direction to build more smart cities powered by renewable energy and technology-driven smart homes to promote energy efficiency and reduce carbon towards achieving sustainability.
Visitors of Schneider Electric’s Homes of the Future event got the opportunity to learn more about how technology can transform traditional homes into smart ones that ensure safety, comfort, and reliability for residents.
By using the Wiser Smart Home solution from Schneider Electric, residents and homeowners can control their homes using smartphones and smart switches to control temperature and lighting, enhance air quality, and enhance child and home appliances safety, which entices a sense of comfort and safety while ensuring energy efficiency and reducing electricity bills.
Schneider Electric’s smart home solutions also play a vital role in promoting sustainability and reducing carbon footprint, which is one of the strategic 6 long-term commitments of Schneider Electric towards sustainability that include equality, trust, climate, local partnerships, and generations.
The digital giant also provides “EVLink Chargers” that can fully charge cars within 4 hours, simultaneously reducing operational and maintenance costs by up to 50% compared to conventional usage. The company aims to install 500 electric vehicle chargers across Egypt in 2023 and reach a total of 4,000 electric car chargers in three years.
Sustainable smart homes rely on information technology and communication to improve the quality of life, make urban operations and services more efficient, and enhance their competitiveness while ensuring that they meet the economic, social, environmental, and cultural needs of current and future generations.
Schneider Electric offers innovative solutions and services that have contributed to many infrastructure projects and smart cities in Egypt by providing software systems to manage all facilities with Internet of Things (IoT) technology, such as the New Administrative Capital and the New Alamein City, to name a few.
