Excerpted from *Buildings Magazine* "Retrofitting for Decarbonization: When you replace older building systems, are you considering your carbon emissions?" "...building **management system offers energy insights in *near real-time* and also integrates with some of the building systems, which helps optimize energy management and simplifies control. It collects data from sensors, devices and equipment in a centralized hub, which then identifies patterns and helps human workers prioritize maintenance tasks.** "...Planning for the future by making smart investments today is an important part of decarbonizing, \[Rohan Kelkar, EVP of power products for Schneider Electric\] Kelkar said. “ **...You’ll be required to do it one way or another, so take the plunge now**,” Kelkar said. **“The common misconception is that it’s going to be expensive and cost you more, but if you plan smart, it can actually reduce your consumption and more than pay you back.”** (emphasis are mine); full article here: [buildings.com/resiliency-sustainability/decarbonization-net-zero/article/33015387/retrofits-for-decarbonization-two-carbon-cutting-projects](https://www.buildings.com/resiliency-sustainability/decarbonization-net-zero/article/33015387/retrofits-for-decarbonization-two-carbon-cutting-projects)
