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 nd 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 benets
you can take advantage of today.
The new sustainable business paradigm
All organisations are under increasing pressure to implement sustainable practices. Responding early will help you
control your own destiny and give you a rst-mover advantage in the marketplace. Energy and emissions management
is a logical rst step towards your larger sustainability goals. Its an opportunity to enhance your triple bottom line
through a range of economic, environmental and social benets:
Reduce nancial risks. Be prepared for coming emissions regulation and cap and trade systems. Be more resilient
to uctuating 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 rst to gain efciency certications
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 efciency 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 CO

emissions.
The benefits of energy efficiency measures
generally outweigh the costs.

Achieve more while using less of our common planet
Schneider 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 ltering and variable speed
drives to HVAC and lighting controls, we offer a complete range of energy efcient 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 worlds most advanced energy intelligence technology.
Gain energy insight and control with PowerLogic technology
The 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 unied.
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 nancial and environmental terms,
helping you dene 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, efciency, 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 inefciencies, 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 prole 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 certications and the condence 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 nancial 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 inuence
on change, energy costs can be allocated or sub-billed to
departments or tenants, engaging them in your sustainability
efforts by helping drive efcient behaviour. Finally, when energy
efciency 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 benets.
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 nd 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 dening 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.
