#MoveTheDate

21
Days

Existing off-the-shelf, commercial technologies for buildings, industrial processes, and electricity production could move Overshoot Day at least 21 days, without any loss in productivity or comfort, according to an analysis by researchers from Global Footprint Network and Schneider Electric.

What is the solution?

Developed by French real estate developer Ecolocost in partnership with Schneider Electric in the Paris region, the Domaine d’Adèle is a new residential development designed to achieve the highest energy efficiency and carbon reduction targets at the price point of a monthly 1,100-euro mortgage payment per unit.

This solution improves our resource security in the energy category.

How does it #MoveTheDate?

Each unit is equipped with six solar panels that are connected to energy management solution Wiser for efficient temperature control system and real-time tracking of energy consumption, which has been shown to reduce energy consumption by up to 50%. EVLink terminals for electric vehicle charging are also provided.

How is it scalable?

These affordable comfortable smart homes are projected to achieve 30,000 euros in annual energy savings for the 26-unit residence over the next 30 years. Wiser smart home energy solution has been deployed across Europe, Asia Pacific and the Americas.

Over 80% of the world’s carbon emissions come from the production and consumption of energy, while 60% of the energy we produce is wasted. Eliminating energy waste is an essential approach to accelerating the necessary transition up the decarbonization path, together with clean energy.

Residential buildings in particular are a crucial lever for achieving energy and net-zero goals, with huge untapped energy efficiency potential. Homes are responsible for more than 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions and more than 20% of the global electricity consumption. Scalable solutions are needed to transform the residential infrastructure to smart and green homes that are efficient, resilient, and sustainable, both for new buildings and retrofits.

Schneider Electric’s purpose is to empower all to make the most of our energy and resources, bridging progress and sustainability for all. Their market-leading, innovative solutions connect the dots between flexible energy supply and demand, delivering homes, buildings, data centers, industries, infrastructure, and grids of the future that allow us to collectively share better the energy and resources that our planet can provide.

There’s no benefit in waiting!

Acting now puts you at a strategic advantage in a world increasingly defined by ecological overshoot. Countless solutions exist that #MoveTheDate. They’re creative, economically viable, and ready to deploy at scale. With them, we can make ourselves more resilient and #MoveTheDate of Earth Overshoot Day. If we move the date 6 days each year, humanity can be out of overshoot before 2050.
