6 . What are the specific sustainability / ethics challenges that Asian markets present ?
“ We have seen a variety of sustainability challenges in different markets in Asia . For Singapore , one of the key challenges is to achieve productivity growth while improving energy efficiency .
“ As the world of energy is transforming , with the convergence of IT and energy technologies , Schneider Electric believes that the Internet of Things ( IoT ) will be the next frontier for organisations to achieve efficiencies and meet their sustainability goals . In fact , IoT will unleash a wave of automation that makes sustainability more easily attainable than before .
“ For instance , software downloaded on smart devices can switch appliances and lights on and off automatically when they sense the presence of people . These machines , appliances , devices and software form the ecosystem of the IoT – where software and hardware speak to each other through the Internet – can make urban systems more efficient ; including water , transportation systems , gas , electrical networks , which is a huge part of energy consumption .
“ Further , the electrical systems of buildings , as well as data centres that host the smart infrastructure , can be connected to smart grids , which can detect the power usage in a neighbourhood , district or city and redirect the power to where it is needed the most from areas where it is not used .
