Schneider Electric employees in Western Australia have relocated to a new energy smart office at Malaga.
The move consolidates six existing office spaces into one, with almost 300 employees now in a single building.
The open plan office, completed in September 2013, allows employees to easily communicate and work together to ensure the best experience for customers.
Filled with natural light, the office was built by Abacus Project Services and was designed by Cornerstone Architects.
It is set across two levels with basement parking, and dedicated workshop space for Schneider Electric Integrated Business Support employees.
To ensure energy efficiency at the site, Schneider Electric EcoStruxure energy management systems have been installed.
This solution brings all the energy systems together, including T5 fluorescent and LED lighting, DALIcontrol and C-Bus lighting control, energy monitoring, security access and more.
Energy usage of the building will be displayed in the reception area, so employees and visitors alike will be aware of efficiencies.
A dedicated EcoStruxure showcase room is also located in the building, so that customers can experience the solution in a real-world situation.
Schneider Electric's managing director for the Pacific, Stephen Coop, said the new building is state of the art office space where employees can interact with state colleagues to help foster collaboration and working efficiencies.
"Using our own technologies in the building has meant that we can create an energy efficient work space where all the energy management systems work together to keep energy usage and costs to a minimum," he said.
"We are the specialists in energy management, and we are doing our best to make the most of our energy."
The Malaga office follows on the success of five other consolidated Schneider Electric sites in the Pacific: Victoria (Notting Hill), Queensland (Trade Coast), South Australia (Gepps Cross), New Zealand (Highbrook) and New South Wales (Macquarie Park).
The address of the new office is 10 Harris Road, Malaga, Western Australia. For more information, contact your local Schneider Electric representative or call 1300 369 233.
