Planning options

“Companies that build a capability for ‘sustainable transformation’ will lock in competitive advantage as the marketplace, regulation, and customer demand move in this direction.”– Deloitte Touche

“64% of people are more likely to use a business that claims to have a low carbon footprint.” – GfKNOP and Carbon Trust, UK, 2006

A global imperative for change The world is learning how closely people, economies and the environment are interconnected. As energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions rise, your organisation will be impacted by shrinking resources, increasing costs, potentially unstable energy supplies, more stringent regulations and the pressures of growing public awareness.

More than ever, we must find ways to meet the needs of today without compromising the future. It is imperative that you prepare your organisation for this challenge and, in turn, protect the planet we all share. The good news is that there are many opportunities and benefits you can take advantage of today.

The new sustainable business paradigmAll organisations are under increasing pressure to implement sustainable practices. Responding early will help you control your own destiny and give you a first-mover advantage in the marketplace. Energy and emissions management is a logical first step towards your larger sustainability goals. It’s an opportunity to enhance your “triple bottom line” through a range of economic, environmental and social benefits:

Reduce financial risks. Be prepared for coming emissions regulation and cap and trade systems. Be more resilient to fluctuating energy prices and avoid lost productivity, scrap and equipment replacements that result from an unstable electricity supply.

Boost competitive advantage. Champion and publicise “green” energy practices to strengthen customer loyalty, attract talent, and build goodwill in the communities where you operate. Be the first to gain efficiency certifications for your buildings (e.g. LEED, BREEAM, Green Star, CASBEE), which could be mandatory in the future.

Improve shareholder value. Increase the valuation of your enterprise by showing energy and environmental responsibility, and providing portfolio-wide accountability and transparency.

Run leaner and greener. Use risk-free energy efficiency projects to generate substantial savings in operational and maintenance costs, then use those savings to fund other sustainability programs.

Ultimately, energy sustainability is just good business. However, the path to achieving its rewards requires a new kind of information and control system.

“The business case for energy efficiency is clear: it reduces energy costs, diminishes vulnerability to increasing energy prices and reduces CO2 emissions.

The benefits of energy efficiency measures generally outweigh the costs. “– World Business Council for Sustainable Development

“Persistent feedback promotes persistent energy conservation behaviour.”— Environmental Change Institute, Oxford University

“Energy use in buildings can be reduced by 50% or more by applying proven and commercially available technologies as well as innovative ones.” — First Strategic SBCI Report

Achieve more while using less of our common planetSchneider Electric believes every business can increase productivity while consuming less, achieving energy savings of 10% to 30%. And saving energy costs less and reduces pollution.

As the global energy management specialist, we offer end-to-end power, building and process management solutions that help you optimise energy use and costs, improve performance, enhance comfort and safety, and deliver uninterrupted service while taking responsible care of our planet. Our expert services can help you audit your energy use and build your energy action plan. From power factor correction systems, harmonic filtering and variable speed drives to HVAC and lighting controls, we offer a complete range of energy efficient technologies.

But to make the most of your energy, you need the tools to uncover all opportunities, avoid risks, track progress against goals, and verify success. Schneider Electric offers the world’s most advanced energy intelligence technology.

Gain energy insight and control with PowerLogic technologyThe PowerLogic range of meters and software help manage all your energy assets, every second of the day. They form an enterprise-wide, integrated network that connects to the power, building, IT and process infrastructures across all your facilities. From service entrances to individual loads, all consumed utilities and energy-related data from new or legacy multi-vendor systems are unified.

Stakeholders from the CEO to facility and engineering managers are empowered with holistic views of all opportunities and risks. Dynamic portals assure you stay on top of critical conditions and respond quickly to potential problems. Rich dashboards and reports present energy in financial and environmental terms, helping you define clear metrics and see the immediate and projected impacts of each decision on your costs and carbon footprint.

Most importantly, PowerLogic technology delivers the key performance indicators and analytics that you need to strategically balance the four interdependent aspects of energy-related sustainability: emissions, efficiency, reliability and cost.

Maximise energy efficiency

The consumption of water, air, gas, electricity and steam is metered, checked for data quality, and warehoused for analysis. Advanced model-ling and visualisation help you reveal energy inefficiencies, set priorities and keep each project on track. To reduce the overall demand on the power supply network, PowerLogic technology coordinates with other automation systems to improve your demand profile and power factor while enabling participation in load curtailment programs. These steps will also greatly reduce your energy bill. The PowerLogic system then helps you accurately verify the savings from process changes, equipment upgrades or other initiatives against established performance baselines. This gives you the proof needed to obtain “green” building certifications and the confidence to pursue further sustainability projects. Documented successes will also you help establish best energy practices throughout your enterprise.

Cut energy-related costs

Prudent decisions on sustainability can only be made in the context of their financial impact. PowerLogic systems offer comprehensive energy rate modelling that helps you accurately forecast energy costs and optimise contracts with suppliers. When combined with emissions reporting, you will also be able to evaluate and choose the “greenest” energy sources based on carbon content. As costs are often the strongest influence on change, energy costs can be allocated or sub-billed to departments or tenants, engaging them in your sustainability efforts by helping drive efficient behaviour. Finally, when energy efficiency or reliability upgrades are performed — whether by Schneider Electric, your facility staff or outside contractors — a PowerLogic system helps you correlate the resulting environmental and cost benefits.

Assure power availability and reliability

Sustainability encompasses your ability to get the most from your energy infrastructure while assuring the greatest productivity. A PowerLogic system helps you find unused capacity and safely maximise the use of existing equipment. Often a hidden risk, supply-side instabilities and poor power quality can affect sensitive equipment and processes, causing downtime, equipment damage and process waste. PowerLogic technology helps validate the operation of critical backup systems and alerts you to any power anomalies so you can react quickly to avoid disruptions. If a problem does occur, advanced analytics help you isolate the source and avoid recurrences. The system will also help you extend the life of motors and other equipment by determining the best loading strategies, or by defining requirements for power conditioning.

Reduce energy-related emissions

A PowerLogic system accounts for your overall mix of energy sources, from electricity and gas suppliers to on-site generation, applying the appropriate GHG emissions factors* to each. This enables accurate emissions tracking and reporting, helping you benchmark and compare the environmental performance of different facilities or business units, and meet new mandated reporting requirements. You can directly correlate emissions with past or projected energy use and calculate the equivalent carbon embedded in each process or product. Environmental impacts will now become part of every decision-making process as you improve and grow your business. * Adheres to the framework of the International GHG Protocol.
