Digital energy solutions for modern commercial buildings

Schneider Electric will showcase digital and modular technologies at Light + Building 2026, taking place March 8–13, 2026, in Frankfurt am Main, designed to support the planning, energy distribution, and operation of modern building infrastructures. The portfolio targets electrical planners, panel builders, and contractors, covering solutions for electrical design, medium-voltage systems, EV charging infrastructure, and connected building management.

Industry context and requirements
Increasing demands for energy efficiency, digitalization, and regulatory compliance are driving the transformation of building infrastructures. Within this framework, Schneider Electric presents scalable solutions suitable for both new construction projects and modernization of existing facilities. The exhibition concept is structured around residential and commercial buildings, demonstrating integrated approaches to digital energy and building technologies.

Technical solutions and responsibilities:

Digital electrical planning
In collaboration with software provider ETAP, Schneider Electric presents lifecycle solutions for power systems, including network calculations, system configuration, and schematic design. Building Information Modeling (BIM) enables electrical planning to be integrated into digital building models, improving collaboration and project execution efficiency.

Switchgear and components
The new TeSys Snap-In Deca Advanced contactor and motor protection series supports faster installation and enhanced operational reliability. Tool-free one-handed assembly can significantly reduce installation time and simplify maintenance processes.

EV charging infrastructure and power distribution
Schneider Electric showcases AC and DC charging solutions combined with intelligent load management, alongside the modular Canalis busbar system for efficient energy distribution, particularly in parking garages and charging hubs. The ecorealEV digital planner is introduced as a configuration tool enabling visual planning of complete charging infrastructures.

Modular power distribution systems
Solutions such as Okken, PrismaSeT P, and ABN provide scalable and maintenance-friendly options for complex building infrastructures.

Building management and secure power supply
Modern building management is demonstrated through practical scenarios, including a simulated bakery and office building, highlighting integrated energy management, room automation, and facility management. Platforms such as EcoStruxure Building Operation and EcoStruxure Building Activate provide IoT-based monitoring, control, and optimization of building systems.

For critical applications, Schneider Electric presents medium-voltage solutions and digital models of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, illustrating how reliable power protection can reduce downtime and enhance operational continuity.

Services and lifecycle management
Service offerings including EcoConsult, EcoCare, and EcoFit cover analysis, maintenance, and modernization throughout the lifecycle of energy and building technologies. These services help operators comply with regulatory requirements while improving sustainability and performance of existing infrastructures.

Expected impact
The showcased solutions demonstrate how digital planning, modular power distribution, and connected building management can enhance energy efficiency, operational reliability, and scalability, addressing key challenges in the digital transformation of modern building infrastructures.
