Schneider Electric research says AI-enabled buildings cut energy use up to 22%

• Schneider Electric research estimates AI-enabled building controls can cut whole-building energy use by up to 22% versus traditional systems.
• Annual utility savings modeled at USD 13,600 to USD 49,300 per building, with recurring reductions in operating costs.
• AI-driven HVAC optimization adds 7.2% to 12.7% incremental energy savings when layered on existing building management systems.
• Modeled carbon impact shows up to 59,869 kg CO₂e avoided per building annually, exceeding the AI system footprint by over 100x.
• Analysis used validated energy modeling with pilot deployments across Australia, India, and the U.S., including scenarios for sub-100,000-square-foot buildings.
