Schneider Electric has pushed for sustainable, resilient, hyper-efficient, and digitally connected housing infrastructure to pave the way for people-centric and environmentally responsible buildings.
Offer Manager, Digital Building Anglophone Africa, Mark Freeman, gave the advice in Lagos during the launch of a new range of innovative products designed for industrial, commercial and residential use, headlined by its all-in-one panel board, DBSeT, at Radisson Blu, Lagos.
