Eaton® can help your building go green
Going green—using natural resources wisely while reducing the
impact of human activity on the environment—means more than
just being environmentally responsible. It’s good business too.
Buildings play a key role in our impact on the environment.
According to the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC ®), building
operations account for 65 percent of the electrical energy used
in the United States, which can really affect your bottom line.
Take a look at some ways Eaton’s PowerChain™ Management
portfolio of Cutler-Hammer® and Powerware® products,
services and information management tools can help your
building go green. Any of these solutions may help buildings qualify
for 27 of the 69 LEED® credits available through the USGBC.
The Eaton difference: Inside the green building
Lighting controls
Eaton’s industry-leading
Pow-R-Command™ lighting
control systems turn off the
lights when a space is empty,
and reduce artificial lighting
when natural light is strong.
These systems typically reduce
lighting energy consumption
from 10 to 30 percent.
Busway
Building an electrical distribution system with
busway saves energy, compared to using cables.
Busway sized to carry the same current as cable
will have lower losses and it can also be reconfigured easily as needs change. Busway uses less
copper and steel than cable and conduit, and wastes
less material because it can be built to exact length.
Automatic transfer switches
Automatic transfer switches are reliable and compact assemblies
that transfer essential loads and electrical distribution systems
from utility power to green alternative energy generating sources,
such as wind turbines, solar photovoltaic panels and fuel cells.
Power Xpert® software
and meters
Power Xpert meters detect and
analyze potentially costly power
quality problems, as well as
monitor energy consumption and
efficiency in real time throughout
a building. Power Xpert software
aggregates information into
understandable charts and graphs
that allow users to easily identify
energy-saving opportunities.
Integrated Facilities
Systems™ (IFS)
An IFS reduces both floor space
and material needed for power
systems over traditional installations. The space-saving switchboard structure requires 40% less
electrical room space, resulting
in more room for tenants or less
site disturbance. By using less
copper and steel, IFS delivers
a sustainable solution.
Energy audits
Eaton engineers find wasteful
patterns in total consumption
of energy from all sources–
electricity, gas, steam and
compressed air. Then they
recommend more efficient
solutions that shrink energy
use. Coordination studies can
optimize electrical system
protection with the most
efficient use of resources.
Paralleling switchgear
Paralleling switchgear manages
the critical transition from utility
power to on-site power sources.
This makes it practical to use
Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
systems that take advantage of
otherwise wasted heat energy
or on-site power sources that run
on alternative biomass fuels.
Circuit breakers
Circuit breakers save energy
compared to fused disconnects
because they have less watts
loss for like ratings. And circuit
breakers can be reset after
they trip, while fuses must be
replaced and discarded in
compliance with special
disposal procedures.
Harmonic mitigating
transformers
Eaton’s transformers reduce
harmonic currents that disrupt
the flow of useful electricity
in a circuit. Fewer harmonics
means more efficient energy
consumption overall.
Refurbishing services
Eaton service engineers can
refurbish and recondition
existing equipment to extend its
useful life. In the past seven years,
Eaton has preserved more than
500,000 pounds of copper and steel
by reconditioning breakers instead
of replacing them.
Prefabricated product assemblies
Eaton uses prefabricated, modular designs that
reduce packaging waste and save space when
they’re installed. Integrated power assemblies, for
example, are complete installations that are
preassembled and tested before they’re shipped.
Motor controls
A variable frequency drive (VFD) adjusts a motor’s
speed to closely match output requirements,
resulting in typical energy savings of 10 to 50 percent.
Soft start motor controls lower the demands
on a motor during start-up, conserving energy and
extending the life of the mechanical system.
Power factor correction
capacitors and filters
Capacitors and filters lower energy
costs by supplying reactive power to
loads such as HVAC and elevators.
This reduces energy loss, minimizes
greenhouse gas emissions, decreases
energy consumption and extends
equipment life through improved
power quality.
Uninterruptible Power
System (UPS)
Eaton's UPSs achieve higher
efficiency than traditional UPSs–
and at typical low loading levels
result in 50% less power loss.
The Powerware® 9395 UPS
and Powerware BladeUPS™
each provide revolutionary
technology that delivers reduced energy costs and increased
energy efficiency. Our single phase
UPSs meet RoHS standards.
Medium Voltage (MV) Switchgear
Eaton’s MV switchgear designs use
environmentally friendly choices for
insulation, avoiding sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), an extremely harmful
greenhouse gas 20,000 times more
potent than carbon dioxide (CO2).
SUSTAINABILITY
Eaton: A bigger impact on the marketplace, a smaller footprint on the world
At Eaton, sustainability isn’t an autonomous program
or initiative–it’s how we do business–and our
commitment is longstanding. We are a member of the
U.S. Green Building Council, the Green Grid and the
Green Suppliers Network, and we participate in the
international Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP).
Eaton’s electrical group is a leading provider of power
quality, distribution and control solutions that
increase energy efficiency by as much as 30 percent
and improve power quality, safety and reliability. Our
PowerChain Management solutions offer a growing
portfolio of green products and services, such as
energy audits and real-time energy consumption
monitoring.
Eaton’s UPSs, variable-speed drives and lighting
controls help conserve energy and increase
efficiency.
In fact, Eaton’s electrical solutions can contribute up
to 40 percent of the total possible credit points
available as part of Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) certification. We’re
putting those same products to work in our electrical
group’s LEED-registered headquarters expansion in
Pittsburgh, opening in mid-2008.
We are also applying our expertise in the production
process where we’ve set out to achieve an even
more ambitious goal: designing a carbon-neutral
manufacturing plant. The program, known as the
Vision Project, is part of Eaton’s commitment to the
Business Roundtable’s S.E.E. (Social, Environmental,
Economic) Initiative, which seeks to promote
understanding and adoption of sustainable growth
strategies throughout the business community. Early
results (FY 2007) demonstrate a 9 percent absolute
GHG reduction at the beta-plant in Sumter, S.C. and
will help shape the implementation strategy for
meeting our Business Roundtable Climate RESOLVE
goal of reducing GHG emissions by 18 percent,
indexed for sales, by 2012.
Eaton believes that companies everywhere must
answer the same question over the next decade:
How can we sustain our growth, both profitably and
responsibly? And we believe tomorrow's leaders will
be the companies that master sustainable growth.
