At DTCC’s Hyderabad office, Schneider Electric delivered a proof-of-concept energy-efficiency solution by integrating KNX Lighting Control with PTE6 workstation-occupancy analytics and EcoStruxure Building Operation. The deployment of smart occupancy sensors and granular real-time monitoring achieved 23% lighting energy savings (plus an additional 15% HVAC savings), all within an open, scalable architecture that offers live energy data, API integration, and the potential to realize up to 40–50% total energy reduction.

• Build a strong story around energy efficiency (importance of occupancy data analytics)
• Short timeline to execute POC
POC: Energy Savings for Lighting Control: 23% energy savings vis-à-vis no occupancy sensors installed
• Granular sensing and monitoring data for workstations occupancy analytics
• HVAC was on during the non-occupied period
• Overall potential to save energy by linking HVAC + lighting controls: 23% (LMS) + 15% (HVAC)
• HVAC energy savings can further improve once we integrate KNX lighting control with VRV and BMS systems
(What was unique in the approach?)
• KNX Lighting Control + PTE6 (workspace analytics) + EcoStruxure integration
• Potential to save up to ~40–50% energy by combining KNX lighting controls & workstation occupancy analytics
• Open and scalable architecture
• Granular and live energy data
• Integrated maintenance portal
• Facility manager – flexible condition-based control
• Open API integration
• Flexible HVAC modes for optimum energy saving
• Alarms and alerts (breaker trip, energy threshold, run-hour threshold*, KNX device failure alert)
