Introduction...
Why have Schneider Electric adopted the Energy
Efficiency attitude?
Energy Efficiency is the quickest, cheapest and cleanest way to reduce our energy
consumption and achieve greenhouse gas emission reduction to meet Kyoto targets.
Its also a fast growing demand on the part of everyone in the market. Schneider Electric
has made the commitment to be your energy manager, your energy expert and your
green partner!
Ambitious Energy Efficiency actions are feasible NOW: in most existing installations,
we can target up to 30% energy savings using existing offers and technologies.
Energy Efficiency:
a common concern!
Under the Kyoto Protocol, industrialised countries
have agreed to reduce their collective emissions of
greenhouse gases by 5.2% by 2012, based on
the level of emissions for 1990.
Today electricity is the major contributor to greenhouse
gases. Up to 50% of CO2 emissions attributable to
residential and commercial buildings are from electricity
consumption.
Moreover, as domestic appliances, computers and
entertainment systems proliferate; and the use of other
equipment such as air conditioning and ventilation systems
increases, electricity consumption is rising
disproportionately to other energy usage.
And this trend is here to last unless we do something!
Metering and
Monitoring
Standard Metered Distribution Equipment
The requirement of Part L of the Building Regulations to account for
90% of energy use by end use category has led in recent years to
submetering of lighting and power circuits being the accepted norm.
Schneider Electric have developed standard solutions to this requirement with simplicity
in mind for the designer, ease of installation for the contractor, and efficient operation for
the end user.
Schneider Electric offer a standard range single and three phase MCB distribution boards with
integrated metering. For compliance with Part L a split metering offer has been developed
to allow separate metering of lighting and power
PowerLogic systems
The first step in any energy saving programme is to measure
consumption. Without accurate baseline consumption data, and
ongoing monitoring it is not possible to measure energy savings
resulting from installation of energy saving equipment, and it is
not possible to identify inefficient pieces of plant or equipment.

Low Loss Transformers
Energy consumption is becoming increasingly important in todays
competitive market and so by using low loss distribution transformers
as an alternative to traditional transformers, it is possible to greatly
reduce your energy costs.
Transformer efficiency may be improved by optimising power factor, achieving an adjustment
factor within the Building Registration Part L as an incentive for building operators.
Schneider electric offer low loss transformers of various types and ratings:
Ratings from 315kVA to 2.5MVA, Free breathing of hermetically sealed,
ground mounted or unit substation and mineral oil filled of Midel fluid filled
Total cost of ownership for a low loss transformer over a 20 year installation life is in the region
of 30% lower than a transformer with standard losses. Typical applications of low loss
transformers are new build / replacement installations in commercial and industrial buildings.
Lubio
Lubio is particularly
suited to retrofit on
large lighting loads
that are switched on
for long periods of
time e.g. car parks
and warehouses.
Control products
Control & Command products
One of the simplest ways of reducing electricity consumption
is to use equipment or lighting more wisely. In its simplest form,
manually switching equipment off is one way to achieve this,
however guesswork and human intervention can be taken out of
the equation with the implementation of simple control systems.
Schneider Electric offer a broad range of control and command products that facilitate
automated switching of loads based upon the individual requirements. The Control and
Command range includes a variety of time switches, presence detectors, light sensitive
switches, time delay relays, impulse relays and contactors.
With this menu of control products, it is possible for simple control schemes to be easily
designed and implemented for almost any application requiring time control, presence
control or ambient light level control.
Clipsal C-Bus
Clipsal C-Bus is an intelligent lighting control system designed to
meet the needs of any modern commercial or industrial lighting
scheme, with maximum energy efficiency, flexibility of installation,
and future proofing.
The system is fully programmable to minimise energy use by employing time schedule
switching, occupancy switching, dynamic light level compensation and scene setting.
The most efficient lighting schemes are those that provide only the light needed, in the place
it is needed, and at the time needed C-Bus closes the control loop to make this a reality.
The C-Bus system is particularly well suited to todays modern commercial office environment,
with often changing layouts and requirements for modifications to the lighting scheme. With
C-Bus, any input unit can be re-programmed to perform a different function, as the needs
of the building evolve over time.
