Top executives from Schneider Electric will attend Copenhagen during the UN Climate Change Conference, encouraging public debate from a perspective of unique competencies and innovative architectural solutions with the potential to dramatically improve current energy management options within buildings, homes, industries, data-centres and infrastructure.
“It is obvious that the UN Climate Change Conference is a unique opportunity to mobilise all concerned players in climate change,” said Jean-Pascal Tricoire, president and CEO of Schneider Electric. “What is less obvious is how? Our primary focus and drive is to emphasize that we can start today, and if countries or businesses are already engaged, they can do more by embracing ambitious targets, adopting pragmatic technology right now, and modelling changes in each of our personal behaviours. We are proud to be involved with the Copenhagen event as our role in these issues is expanding daily.”
To support the war on climate change, Schneider Electric’s strategy is simple. The energy challenge embraces very diverse fields; if one wants to act today then it is key to focus on the low hanging fruits. Within this frame, the company believes it is mandatory to start working at the point of use: this is the place where changes can be implemented for the fastest leveraging technology to adapt behaviour. Schneider’s solutions can deliver energy savings of up to 30%, while contributing to the fight against climate change. Because energy is lost as it travels from plant to plug, three kWh have to be generated for each kWh a building uses. Consequently, every kWh saved means three kWh less at the power plant.
For Schneider, energy efficiency represents an opportunity to focus its team on an exciting challenge and to grow and differentiate its business. The Group provides its customers with a comprehensive set of sustainable technologies and solutions applied in four stages to achieve energy efficiency. First – measure energy use to identify reservoirs of savings and dysfunctions. Second – use energy efficient systems and components. Third – automate by deploying human centric control systems. Fourth – monitor, to maintain performance by continuously analysing gains from maintenance, supervision and control. Then, improve by using automation management, consulting and training to raise the bar on performance.
Beyond energy efficiency, today’s challenge is to develop and establish the connecting solutions that create an intelligent energy management system across all application areas. Schneider Electric makes energy safe, reliable, efficient, productive and green with its EcoStruxure solution architecture, an approach which unites its unique expertise in power, data-centres, processes and machines, building control and physical security.
