-: So my name's Muhammad Gibran.
I work at Schneider Electric as an account executive.
As an account executive,
my responsibilities include developing strategic accounts
as well as maintaining
existing key strategic account management.
Developer has a vision for a building
to be built and constructed.
This developer works with architects
and consulting engineers to
envision what this building
is to look like and operate like on paper.
And our role comes in
in influencing the developer and the owner by
introducing some of the technologies that we have to offer
to ensure that this building is future-ready,
future-compatible, and as energy-efficient as possible
while attracting best tenants in the market.
Hence, in return, these tenants can attract
the best talent in the market.
After the building's up and ready
and the systems are installed and functional,
these systems need to be maintained
and configured according to the requirements
of the occupants of these facilities
and in the spaces within these buildings.
It's no secret that green buildings is a...
There's a big push for green buildings,
not just here locally in our local market
or domestically in the country
but across the world.
And so, we're at the forefront of leading
the digital energy transformation
for automating systems,
ensuring that they're smart,
that they're energy efficient,
and that these buildings are operating in a fashion
that is as green as possible.
Most recently, we're working on a retrofit
of a project in New York City,
in Manhattan specifically.
On Broadway, it's the headquarter building
for one of the major retailers
around the country.
It's an older building
that pretty much needs to be retrofitted
with solutions that offer energy management,
specifically around automation controls for HVAC systems
to ensure that the building is operating
at a high-efficiency while maintaining the comfort
of their employees in the building
and maintaining their top talent within their facility.
