The SMART Buildings division will provide:

• Enhanced Energy Efficiency: Optimizing energy consumption intelligently to achieve significant cost savings and reduce environmental impact.

• Occupant Well-being: Prioritizing occupant comfort with personalized settings, indoor air quality monitoring, and intuitive interfaces that enhance overall experience.
• Data-Driven Insights: Providing valuable data analytics for informed decision-making and continuous improvement of building performance.

Schneider Electric’s SMART Buildings Division is committed to shaping the future of intelligent buildings. By implementing smart building technology, commercial real estate owners can optimize energy use, elevate tenant experience, and enhance asset value.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–LP Building Solutions (LP), a leading manufacturer of high-performance building products, has been recognized on USA Today’s America’s Climate Leaders list for 2024.

“At LP, environmental responsibility is a fundamental aspect of our operations,” said LP Chair and CEO Brad Southern. “We strive to manage our environmental impact across all stages of the product lifecycle, from sourcing and manufacturing to installation and final use. Our dedication to efficiency and sustainability is reflected in our carbon-negative products, which not only benefit the environment but also contribute to a lower-carbon economy. Being named one of America’s Climate Leaders underscores our commitment to ‘Do the Right Thing Always’ and our mission to provide sustainable solutions for resilient homes.”

USA Today collaborated with Statista, a leading market research firm, to compile the second annual America’s Climate Leaders list. The assessment focused on companies that demonstrated significant reductions in emissions intensity relative to revenue between 2020 and 2022. Only emissions reported using the widely accepted Greenhouse Gas Protocols (Scopes 1 and 2) were considered for evaluation.

LP consistently assesses its operations to pinpoint opportunities for emission reduction and efficiency enhancement, recognizing the significance of even minor adjustments. The company’s use of residual biomass, a renewable energy source, for energy production highlights its sustainability commitment. In 2022, biomass accounted for approximately 80% of total energy consumption, significantly offsetting the use of fossil fuels.
