Today! s challenges
starts now Rising use of heating, air conditioning, lighting, and information
technologies has made our buildings increasingly energy hungry. These
systems far outstrip other applications as the number-one consumer of
electricity. In fact, electricity accounts for up to 50% of CO2 emissions
attributable to residential and commercial buildings.
40%
Residential and
commercial buildings
account for 40% of
Under the Kyoto Protocol, industrialized countries have agreed to curb total global energy
their CO2 emissions by 5.2% by 2012 and by 75% by 2050. Buildings consumption
are today a major source of potential energy savings that can help us
meet these targets and protect our environment.

Greater energy efficiency starts today the need for 1,000 new
power plants
Making your building more energy efficient does not necessarily involve
costly and disruptive changes to your installation. Based on existing
building systems, it is possible to reduce energy consumption by an
impressive 30% simply by implementing easy-to-use services and
new incentives
Energy efficiency is no longer an option. The Kyoto Protocol has spurred governments
worldwide to pass legislation to ensure smarter energy use in buildings.
The European Union, for example, made a firm commitment in March 2007 to reduce
3 x 20
CO2 emissions by 20% by 2020. Part of a package of measures known as ! 3x20 by 2020! , 20% reduction
the reduction will come with a 20% improvement in energy efficiency and a shift in the EU! s in CO2 emissions
energy mix to include 20% renewable energy.
20% improvement
Other countries have adopted a slightly longer timeline and more ambitious targets, in energy efficiency
aiming for a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2050. 20% energy from
renewable resources
Reaching these targets will require real change, and governments are stepping up their
efforts to legislate, regulate, and set standards to improve energy efficiency.

When you target your electrical installation,
you have the potential to generate substantial
savings by optimizing the three pillars
of energy efficiency:
> Measurement
> Optimization of energy consumption
> Sustainable performance for lasting results
Power distribution
pages can help you turn your power
distribution system into a source of
savings. These simple, cost-effective solutions
do not require a Building Management System
and can help you optimize your installation’s main
functions, such as power supply, uninterrupted
service, protection, and energy quality.
Additional functions deliver useful information
to aid in optimizing your installation and energy
consumption.

Renewable power generation
Photovoltaic cells! which capture

of any solar power system. The
intelligence of the system resides in
the electrical installation, however.
It is the electrical installation that guarantees
that the system works. It allows you to control a

changing weather, detect any losses, and correct
problems, all with the end goal of supplying high-
