lifecycle
●Lighting Projects
● T12 to T8 to T5 to now moving to LED
where possible
● Included emergency lights (small but
constant use)
●Energy Efficiency Compressors
●Variable Speed Drives
● Cooling tower pumps, process
water pumps
● Fans
●Occupancy Sensors in offices
●Compressed Air Leak Detection
●Power Factor Correction

● A Standard Practice Manual was published
in 2009 as the guiding document for energy
management for Schneider Electric in North
America. It was adopted in 2010 as the
global guide to energy management.
● The manual includes:
● a detailed description of the SE Energy
Program
● a listing of best practices pertaining to
several topics, such as HVAC, steam
systems, compressed air, chilled water,
and process heating
● includes preventive maintenance and
continuous commissioning items to help
sustain gains in energy efficient building
operation

Supply Side Management
● Supply Side Partnerships
• Competitive Energy Procurement, with anticipated savings of $1.2 M in 2012
• Utilize Resource Advisor to aggregate, check and view energy usage and progress on
supply side projects

Summary
●Work with experts to analyze current state and make recommendations
●Take advantage of rebates, programs and similar opportunities
● Efficiency projects will be competing with many other industrial projects
within the facility
●Be willing to take on the “hard projects” to maximize the efficiency
●Monitoring systems are critical to take advantage of the savings over
the long term
● Monitoring at sublevels of systems and processes can improve decision
making
●Training and Continuous improvement are necessary for ongoing
improvements
