6
Schneider Electric 6 - Buildings - August 2013 The solution: Building Optimization Advanced, predictive energy management software to optimize and control HVAC operations and reduce energy costs for commercial buildings How: ●Software continuously monitors weather data, energy prices, and demand response (DR) events ●Makes small changes in HVAC operations that result in large energy savings without impacting comfort
7
Schneider Electric 7 - Buildings - August 2013 How Building Optimization works ●Full optimization, full savings ●Using the thermal model, thousands of alternative operating plans are produced for each operating day ●The plan is selected based on your prioritized objectives: cost, comfort, or consumption, and incorporates information on predicted and actual site conditions including weather, price signals, and demand response signals ●Monitors and re-optimizes every 10 to 45 minutes thereafter
8
Schneider Electric 8 - Buildings - August 2013 Service Positioning ●Optimized operation 24/7 ●Dynamic ●Adaptive, self-learning ●Grid-aware; an extension of the SmartGrid ●Maximize ROI of the asset & future EE investments ●Improves efficiency of local staff by automating actions Optimization ●Detection of equipment faults 24/7 ●Assess energy, comfort, & maintenance impact ●Reports and to-do lists ●ROI to prioritize lists ●Improves efficiency of local staff via tasking Analytics Identifies anomalies to fix Automated, optimized energy management BMS Service Traditional service provider Degree of Intelligence Competitive Uniqueness Commissioning ●ECM Implementation ●Visualization of data ●Single point-in-time commissioning ●Static reports Manual identification of ECMS ●Manual Tuning ●Single Point-in-Time Optimization ●End-to-End system checks
9
Schneider Electric 9 - Buildings - August 2013 System optimization model ●Uses real-time weather forecast, tariff, and demand response events ●Leverages knowledge of building’s thermal envelope ●Considers energy consumption and protects occupants’ comfort ●Changes BMS set points and schedules through an intelligent, comfort- oriented supervisory control engine ●Customer can override at any time Weather Tariffs Thermal Model

15
Schneider Electric 15 - Buildings - August 2013 Why Building Optimization? ●Reduces total building energy by 5% to 8% ●10% to 25% of HVAC energy use ●Control plus reports and graphs ●Positive ROI in months ●Lowers carbon footprint ●Increases value of portfolio ●Smart grid ready ●You don’t pay unless there are results!
16
Schneider Electric 16 - Buildings - August 2013 Case Study – Iconic US Class A Office THE CHALLENGE ●Automate reduced energy consumption ●One of largest Gold LEED-EB buildings in US ●Top notch in-house engineering staff ●Very risk adverse operations staff “Any reduction in energy must NOT impact tenant comfort or come at the expense of increased attention and efforts from the building engineers.” - Customer THE RESULT ●Saved over $1M (€745K) in utility costs in first two years ●Reduced CO 2 footprint by 440 tons ●Saving $3 (€2.25) in energy for every $1 (€.75) spent
17
Schneider Electric 17 - Buildings - August 2013 Case Study – US Electric Utility Customer THE CHALLENGE ●Reduce energy consumption and peak- power demand response (DR) ●Office building (270,000 ft 2 ; 25,084m 2 ) located in extreme desert climate ●Average high temperature range: 101 o to 104 o F; 110 o F (38 o -40 o C; 43 o C) during the summer A high level of IT security and maintain- ing occupant comfort with 74 o -75 o F (23 o C- 24 o C) internal temper- ature were achieved throughout the optim- ization and demand response events. THE RESULT ● Up to 20% daily reduction in total HVAC energy use ● Projected annual energy savings of 449,851 kWh or $45,000 (€33,790) ● DR savings: 13.7% of chiller load; summer- time load shed is expected to reach 12% to 15%
