Schneider Electric's Drives Energy Savings Work Zone
Energy demand is on the rise and so are federal and international regulations requiring the reduction in our global carbon footprint.
To do this, a variable energy management solution is paramount. This starts by better managing motors that control pump and HVAC systems. Research shows that these motors consume:
- 30% of the energy of a building.
- 60% of the energy of industries and infrastructures.
With Altivar® variable frequency drives from Schneider Electric you can achieve energy savings of up to 70%, depending on the type of installation. The highest potential energy savings can be found on pumps, fans and compressors.

 The Energy Dilemma
The facts are simple. The demand for energy is on the rise with estimates showing that it will double by 2050. Conversely, the need to cut our CO2 emissions needs to halved in order to avoid dramatic climate changes. These two trends are on a collision course and finding a solution requires everyone’s participation.
A well thought out and implemented energy management solution is the key to addressing this dilemma. Identifying where energy is being used is the first step and from their, a plan can be created to decrease its usage across the board.
