Editor's Notes
- We all know that sustainable practices are “good” to do, but what’s the business case behind them?
- Energy together with recession, is the hottest topic those days: as citizens, business people, human beings, we are all concerned We know that energy demand will double by 2050, electricity demand as well by 2030. 70% coming from new economies such as China or India If energy consumption per capita in China & India reaches US level, world consumption would triple On the other hand, 1.6 billion people have no access to electricity Mobilization on climate change world wide By 2030, ~3/4 of energy sources will remain CO2-related Grave consequences expected if global temperature rises by 3°c (based on International Energy Agency quotes and studies) Copenhagen conference this year, beyond this, the climate change concern is everywhere What can you do as a human being, to reduce your carbon footprint while living our life? We, as a company, ask ourselves the same question: what can we do to achieve more for our customers, be more profitable, while using less of our common planet?
- We all know that sustainable practices are “good” to do, but what’s the business case behind them?
- Environmental certification to the latest standard HPE QA (high-performance energy and associated qualities) delivered by Certivea, a subsidiary of the CSTB. HPE QA certification makes this a building ahead of its time, whose performance exceeds even the requirements of the new RT2012 thermal regulations as well as current comfort standards. Effinergie BBC (low-energy building) certified one of the most demanding classifications, this describes a building that consumes at least 50% less energy than the conventional regulatory standard. The SIMI, a French real estate forum, has awarded Schneider Electric with it’s « Grand Prix SIMI 2011” in the category “Business & Research Building " for its new building "Horizon" located in Carros
- Here is some good news – we know how to make buildings better – the best buildings in the world – one at a time.
- http://www.schneider-electric.com/solutions/ww/en/ref/22564470-green-office-meudon?segment=4872793 The world’s largest positive energy building represents a radical transformation of commercial buildings Bouygues Immobilier developer http://www.green-office.fr/uk/concept-green-office.php Exprimm operator SSII Steria occupant This first of its kind, 23,000 m2 office building was leased out in June 2011, and incorporates comprehensive Schneider Electric solutions. Located in Meudon, France, just outside of Paris, it is the world’s largest positive energy building, producing more energy than it consumes. Schneider Electric collaborated extensively with key project stakeholders throughout the integrative design/build process. The building was designed to reduce energy consumption, guarantee user comfort and produce enough energy to surpass consumption. High performance insulation, natural ventilation, an intelligent Building Management System, a biomas CHP (combined heat and power) boiler, and photovoltaic energy, all contribute to the positive energy achievement. Schneider Electric supplied a solution based on EcoStruxure architecture, integrating building and energy management, power management and security management. EcoStruxure acts as a solution ecosystem, delivering guaranteed compatibility across key application areas and leveraging open standards—including Ethernet, TCP/IP, BACnet®, LON®, and Modbus®—across both Schneider Electric and third-party offers. EcoStruxure Solution intelligent Building Management System (iBMS) • electrical distribution equipment (MV/LV boards, transformers) • structured cabling network • heating & ventilation control • lighting control • sunblind control • motorized window control • security (intrusion detection, access control, video surveillance) • alarm management • space management Personal comfort control In order to optimize the comfort and user-friendliness of the building, work areas were divided into 2.70 m sections, with the following in each: • 2 dimmable light fixtures • 2 motorized blinds • 2 motorized windows • 1 controllable ceiling fan • 1 occupancy and luminosity sensor A single device, the STIBIL® room controller, manages this equipment in each area. Individual occupants can control their own environment by accessing a “personal comfort” control panel via their PC or a remote control device.

Through school shows, community events, and online programs, Earth Rangers makes children aware of the impact that humans have on the environment, inspiring them with a lasting passion to build a green future. Located on the Kortright Living City Campus in Woodbridge Ontario, Canada, the Centre is a showcase of cutting edge building technology such as energy metering, smart automation and controls, innovative water and wastewater management, solar generation, green roofs, and geothermal heating and cooling. EcoStruxure Solution HVAC Controls (Andover Continuum Building Management) —1000+ sensors Lighting Controls (PowerLink/ Clipsal) Power Monitoring (PowerLogic Meters/ ION-Enterprise) —84 metering points Lighting Fixtures (Juno) UPS (APC) Security (Pelco Cameras) Dual EV Charging Stations EMIS (StruxureWare Energy Operation) In the initial phase of the project, Schneider Electric donated equipment and systems worth $375,000 to help Earth Rangers make their facility both energy and carbon neutral, and to complement their LEED Gold for New Construction certification with a LEED Platinum for Existing Buildings certification. This first installation included Schneider Electric building automation hardware and software, power monitoring and energy management tools, Juno lighting, Pelco cameras, and PowerLink/Clipsal lighting controls. An electrical vehicle charging system was eventually added to the overall solution. Though the initial project enabled significant energy savings, the customer wanted to achieve higher levels of building performance. This was accomplished in July of 2011, when Schneider Electric installed its StruxureWare Energy Operation EMIS at Earth Rangers Centre. By adding Energy Operation as part of the overall energy management solution, Earth Rangers now has the tools to easily and efficiently turn energy data into actionable information. This system leverages the downstream real-time monitoring and control systems and offers: ● facility operations personnel the tools to identify, analyze, and report on energy savings and sustainability initiatives ● managers the ability to validate the effectiveness of their energy savings initiatives and investments, helping document the true return on investment in dollars, kWh and CO2 saved ● an attractive, easy to understand public facing display kiosk to help communicate the Earth Rangers' mission and energy achievements to visitors of the centre and corporate website Customer benefits Schneider Electric's integrated energy management solution delivers the following benefits to Earth Rangers: • centralized key energy data into a single view for energy monitoring, analysis, and reporting • early detection of poor energy performance • effective performance reporting • auditing of historical operations • identification and justification of energy projects • evidence of success of energy initiatives • support for energy budgeting and management accounting • year-over-year energy reductions of 20% • In 2010, the 60,000 square foot Earth Ranger facility was operated 83% more efficient than the original Model National Energy Code for Buildings (MNECB) base design case • On-site generation through solar PV arrays installed on the roof and in the parking lot have helped ERC become revenue neutral due to the subsidies provided through the Ontario FIT contract for on-site generation • 2011 year-to-date savings (vs. prior year): o GHG savings: 444.2 tons CO2 o water recycling savings equal to 0.5 Olympic sized pools • The energy monitoring system has also allowed Earth Rangers to target multiple credits under LEED Existing Building, namely Energy and Atmosphere Credits 3.2 and 3.3 (system level metering), along with Water Efficiency Credit 1.1 (sub-metering and reporting) • Additional spill off credits resulting from the system can be seen in an estimated Energy Star rating of 97
- We SHOULD expect better outcomes in a high-performance green buildings…to get to a triple bottom line. So beyond minimizing environmental impact, today - we are expecting high performing, flexible, energy-efficient buildings that enable better business outcomes. As a commercial tenant or owner/operator of commercial buildings – we want buildings that enable our success. And in addition, we always want economic benefits - including Economic benefits Increased occupancy and tenant retention rates Increased building value and rental rates Improved employee productivity Higher employee retention rates Improved stock performance CSR Improved public image
- http://www.schneider-electric.com/solutions/ww/en/ref/4664659-genzyme-center?segment=4872793 Genzyme’s goals were to lower energy and operational cost and to champion sustainability. Schneider Electric collaborated extensively with key project stakeholders throughout the integrative design/build process. Our solution includes an intelligent building management system (Andover Continuum) to control the main building systems and to measure and report energy trends. EcoStruxure Solution Our intelliegent Buidling Management System (iBMS) integrates and manages 40,000 points of control Super sophisticated HVAC, includes fresh air intake, 3rd party steam plant, pressure reducing stations, heat exchangers, radiant & trench heat Lighting control, including daylight harvesting 7 roof-mounted heliostats 900 stainless steel sun blinds Storm-water runoff CO2 fire alarm monitoring As a result, Genzyme Center earned a LEED Platinum certification, the highest rating issued by the U.S Green Building Council and is now able to work more efficiently--operating the building with two less technicians. (Facility staff went from 6 to 4). Intelligent, integrative planning & design, along with EcoStruxureTM system architecture helped reduce overall energy cost by 42% reduce water usage by 34% below standard established by 1992 Energy Policy Act Environmental features like natural daylighting, access to outdoor views, collaborative work spaces, fresh air and operable windows have made employees happier and more productive: Sick time reduced by 5% 88% employees report improved well-being 72% employees report improved alertness & productivity Other points of interest 15% on-site renewable energy generation Fresh air is circulated into the building every day Outdoor views from every seat 800 operable windows individual lighting & temp control Indoor gardens 6,000 sq.ft. green roof plant life provides insulation, absorbs water and slows the amount of water going down the building’s drains. Much of that rainwater is filtered, captured and stored in four 200-gallon tanks on the roof, and is used to water plants in the summer. “ We provided Schneider Electric with our requirements and they came up with a great plan.” “ The Schneider Electric building management system takes care of 40 000 points of control. It is the brain that monitors everything in the building.” “ Schneider Electric supports us and backs us up any time we have an issue. TAC has been a great partner.” Lou Capozzi, Facilities Manager, Genzyme Center

- Cost effective? “LEED is such a rigorous and methodical process, through the process of certifying our buildings, we found another $534,398 in annual savings with an even better annual ROI of 148%! LEED is more than a standard to benchmark against; it is in a very real sense a blueprint for achieving energy and related conservation savings." - George Denise, Global Account Manager, Cushman & Wakefield.
- We all know that sustainable practices are “good” to do, but what’s the business case behind them?
- We all know that sustainable practices are “good” to do, but what’s the business case behind them?
- Standard knowledge is that 25% of total life cycle cost of building is in the design and construction—but unfortunately, this is where many decisions are made that will affect the owners/operators of a building many years into the future.
- IMPLICATIONS Increasingly owners are opting for alternative delivery methods instead of the traditional Design-Bid-Buy process to reduce costs. The implications of rising costs are driving owners to opt for alternative delivery methods meaning that any prospective vendor will need to demonstrate the ability to adopt a delivery method that will result in better value for money and an overall reduction in cost. 1. Integrated Project Delivery for Private and Public Owners – NASFA, COAA, APPA, AGC & AIA 2010 The diagram shows that the traditional process delays decisions that trends indicate owners are demanding change from, which implies a need for a process that brings the decision making process forward, speeds things up and allows opportunities for cost savings to be realized more easily without incurring high costs of design changes. The Lean Integrated Project Delivery method allows much greater impact on cost and functional capabilities at an earlier stage and can raise possibilities to address the implications
- But technical innovation is not the only innovation that matters. Because one of the main issues facing cities today is financial: cities around the world are often short of cash so financing these ‘smart’ projects can be quite a headache. And financing is not only CapEx but also OpEx, upgrades, long-term Return on Investment etc. So we need to develop and implement innovative business models to make it work – either by creating additional streams of revenues, for example by selling the information coming from the systems to 3 rd parties; or by leveraging the operational savings that result from the project, for example through Performance contracting – not just Energy performance contracting, but City-wide performance contracting.
- Standard evaluation is based on conventional climate values, building envelope, equipment, occupancy … Calculated indicators allow comparison between building solutions and relative positioning on a conventional scale Applicability: Building Regulations & Energy Labels calculations Simulated evaluation is based on data that has been "refined" to match the characteristics of the proposed building (occupancy profile, FTE, climate, controls …) Indicators can be evaluated using dynamic simulation tools Used in Green Buildings Energy Performance Evaluation Measured evaluation is based on real life and takes into account implementation shortcomings such as Incorrect settings Actual operation of the building Actual behaviour and number of occupants Indicators are evaluated by measurements or by calculations based on measurements However, as for simulated evaluations, they still only represent a single shot
- We all know that sustainable practices are “good” to do, but what’s the business case behind them?
- It is NOT SaaS = on-demand software", is a software delivery model in which software and associated data are centrally hosted on the cloud . Issues = data security, latency (not as fast as local), customization It IS a combination of software and services that are designed to maximize building performance and comfort
- The combination of our software suite and the Ecostruxure architectural design enables us to deliver a set of various professional services which improve the profitability and sustainability of the entire portfolio of office buildings for the owner and for large occupying companies
- We all know that sustainable practices are “good” to do, but what’s the business case behind them?
- The energy world is living a revolution. As always, the key success factor to change is people. Three changes have to operate. 1/ People have to change their behavior. They must change the way they make decisions about energy They have to be aware of the cost of their energy. Not only their energy bill. The whole lifecycle of their installation. Regulations can accelerate this change. For instance, buildings should be designed more efficient because regulations should impose it. It would cost far less over the life time of the building, Technology can also help changing behaviors. If you have a dashboard to monitor the cost of your energy in real time. If you see the effect of your actions on your daily consumption, you will make effort to change. 2/We need skills which do not exist today. We spoke about renewables and Energy Efficiency. Almost no school, no university prepares people to this specialty. It is our responsibility to train people. At Schneider Electric, we have launch our own Energy University with free classes on Energy efficiency, renewables, etc. We have partnership with the Universities of Shanghai Tsinghua on Energy efficiency. 3/ As it is a technology revolution, where many sectors have to speak to each other. We need to foster new collaborations between private and public, between companies which were not working together before. The world of today is collaborative. The energy sector must reflect this. Pour accompagner la mise en place de cette révolution, il faut s’armer des meilleures compétences à tous les niveaux. Dans l’énergie, nous faisons face à deux phénomènes le vieillissement de la population actuelle et l’obsolescence des compétences la pénurie de main d’œuvre : rien qu’en région parisienne il manque plusieurs milliers d’électriciens ! Cette tendance se vérifie partout dans le monde. Chez Schneider Electric nous agissons à plusieurs niveaux : Nous développons des programmes de formations à l’énergie pour les populations en difficultés Nous finançons la création d’entreprises dans l’énergie Nous formons nos clients et nos collaborateurs à travers notre Energy University Nous sommes actifs pour le développement de standards et réglementations favorables au développement de l’efficacité énergétique. Nous avons participé activement aux discussions du Grenelle de l’environnement, nous sommes signataires du Pacte de Nicolas Hulot Il faut que nous travaillions ensemble, politiques, associations, industriels, fournisseurs de services, pour anticiper sur les besoins urgents à venir en matière de compétences et ainsi assurer une croissance durable et intelligente de nos business respectifs.

- Based on Everett Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovation Theory with adaptation from Geoffrey Moore regarding a chasm that needs to be crossed. Rogers believed that any new idea went through five basic steps of human acceptance: 1) Innovators, 2) Early Adopters, 3) Early Majority, 4) Late Majority and 5) Laggards. Moore added the idea that there is a Chasm in the middle of the early adopter stage which must be crossed or jumped in order for an idea to fully take hold. Basically, a confluence of events happens at a certain point in time that allows an idea to jump the chasm and become accepted by the mainstream. When applied to this model, every new idea from the first portable computer to cloud computing seems to align with this principle.

- As the global specialist in energy management, our business itself helps tackling one of the major sustainable development challenge of today: climate change. Our sustainability commitment is aligned with our mission. It is based on five pillars: 1. Spreading Access to energy for those who need it the most We have a programme called BipBop for Business Innovation and People at the Base of the pyramid. The programme created n 2009 aims at helping develop a reliable, affordable green & sustainable access to energy to the people who need it the most The 1.4 billion people still deprived of energy today. For that we have an integrated approach based on a close interaction with local people including Products and solutions as well as Business models Training programmes so that local people have the skills to maintain, sell and develop Example: we have electrified almost 1M households since 01/2009, train almost 7000 young people and supported 200+ entrepreneurs Ex2: we have developed a led-based system called In-Diya that consumed 50% less than a regular light bulb, has a better lighting power and lifetime than any fuel-based existing solution and is much better for people health and wealth!!!: 2. Limiting the impact of our activity on the environment We want to lead by example in terms of carbon, and have the cleanest sites and greenest products. For that, we have : a drastic plan to reduce our energy consumption on sites, using our own solutions A systematic ISO 14001 certification of facilities A label called “Green Premium” to ensure our customers that our products comply with the most stringent environmental regulations (like Reach and RoHS) Ex: the headquarters of SE are a showcase of our solutions (divide by 20% energy savings in the first year of operation), first building in Europe to be certified NF16001 (energy management certification 3. Enhancing the well being of our people For our people, we put health & safety as a priority and thrive for people engagement Every meeting of the executive committee and in every plant starts by health & safety indicators review We measure the recommendation score of our own people in the same way we measure how our customer would recommend us as a supplier. 4. Supporting the development of communities where we operate The Schneider Electric Foundation federates our commitment to the Society, focusing on the training of unprivileged youth in our business to foster professional integration as well as reconstruction programmes after natural disasters. We also support local initiatives to help communities in more than 100 countries. 5. Ethics and responsibility in our operations and our industry: - We are a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact since 2002 - Internally, we have an ethical frame : Our Principles of Responsibility and Responsibility & Ethical Dynamics programme, the code of conduct for all of our employees to respect common principles Global engagements for a green and sustainable industry : we are engaged in global organisations such as the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, Alliance to save, energy, Clinton Climate initiative, etc. the Green Grid for green IT, etc. Ex: part of our executive committee member performance is based on sustainability criteria EX: in 2010, we have joined the Word business council for sustainable development. Eventually, our sustainability approach relies on the regular measurement our commitment thanks to a unique tool, the Planet & Society Barometer that sums up our main priorities in terms of sustainability. It is rated on a scale of ten and the current one started in January 2011 and will end in December 2011, the end of our company programme. The results are communicated transparently, every quarter, externally and internally It is audited by and external auditor Sustainability is really part of Schneider Electric DNA
