Introduction Understanding Energy Monitor & Target
Energy Efficiency
With the drive for energy conservation, the reduction of harmful greenhouse gas emissions, growing awareness of carbon footprints and the volatility of fuel prices, it is little wonder that energy is high on most business agendas.
 

There are several key drivers which are forcing a change in approach to energy:

- Environmental impact of rising
  CO2 levels

- Increasing cost of energy

- Energy and environmental legislation
  from the UK government and the
  European union

- Corporate social responsibilty

Energy Saving

Saving energy can be implemented in many ways, from simply turning off lights and heating when areas are unoccupied, to fitting energy saving and low voltage equipment.

Schneider Electric manufacture a range of energy saving devices from variable speed motor controls to lighting control systems, building management systems and power monitors. For example, installing variable speed controls onto fans, pumps or compressors can save significant amounts of electricity and reduce bills accordingly.

How we can help you save energy:

Energy services
Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency creates capacity and ensures power is used only when needed, effectively reducing demand requirements without reducing the end user benefit.

Schneider Electric provides expert consultancy advice and installation management to ensure that you get the best from our portfolio of energy services and energy efficient products.

Energy Management

Proper energy management has wide reaching benefits even beyond saving energy. For example, energy management
can create capacity and prevent the need for additional power supplies, maintain savings and identify further areas for improvement. In such a case, not only is energy being managed better, but there are significant savings in equipment,
space and your carbon footprint. Schneider Electric’s dedicated team of Services and Projects experts can help
businesses to design, evaluate and implement
total energy management schemes at every level in an organisation.

Carbon Footprints

Carbon footprints consider every part of an installation that contributes to Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions. Good carbon management involves considering the manufacture, distribution and disposal of a product. Schneider Electric is committed to helping its customers manage their carbon footprint.
