Energy efficiency ranks as the key priority among higher education facility leaders, according to new study from Schneider Electric and the Alliance to Save Energy.

Variable speed drives make chiller equipment more efficient. Enhancing internal controls increases this further.

A methodical approach coupled with follow through goes a long way toward reliable operations in facilities that run 24/7.

This integrated building management system is designed to meet the distinct needs of facility managers of small and medium sized facilities.

This technologically based concept allows facility professionals to harness building data to reach goals and elevate department status.

Jeff Johnson, chief science officer at Schneider Electric, notes that quantifying the forces at play, both man-made and natural, is still a work in progress—as is accurately projecting future events.

Presented by TFM and Schneider Electric, this June 11 webinar focused on the budgetary matters caused by energy related missed opportunities and inefficiencies. Four experts provided insight into where an organization’s next investments should be.

Tiered service plans aim to offer cost-effective maintenance and repair support for facility electrical distribution systems.

Survey findings: energy efficiency may be bright spot in recovering economy as investment increases.

Expanding requirements for distribution systems can be met using molded case circuit breakers. From the July 2013 issue.

When it comes to data center infrastructure management (DCIM), there may be confusion over the difference between “open source” and “open system” software. While similar, these terms have very different meanings.

This paper demonstrates, through a series of examples, how data center infrastructure management software tools can simplify operational processes, cut costs, and speed up information delivery.

In this paper, guidelines are established for selecting a new site or assessing an existing one. Common risks that affect the availability of a business are defined and techniques for minimizing these risks are presented.

Physical security is critical to achieving availability goals of mission critical facilities. Security of the data center accounts for it’s surroundings as well as data processing equipment inside and the systems supporting them. In this paper, systems for providing secure facilities are recommended and best practices for physical security are explained.

New software suites from Schneider Electric address the energy management needs of customers in key market segments. A suite for Data Centers is now available, with introductions focused on Water, Healthcare, and Grid to be introduced in the coming months.

Working with Schneider Electric, the school district, which serves over 5,100 students from kindergarten through grade 12, has seen its utility costs reduced by 15%, resulting in annual savings of close to $250,000.

An assessment of power, cooling, physical infrastructure, and operational efficiencies of data centers provides information managers can act upon.

The Opry Mills Mall restoration project had two main objectives: to restore the permanent power necessary to perform operations throughout the remaining months it would take to clean and repair the mall’s interior, and to restore the electrical condition back to the same state it was in prior to the flood.

Integrating security systems and building management offers a multitude of benefits, but steps need to be taken before implementation.

Previously branded as EnergyView Online, Remote Energy Management is a hosted solution that enables users to save energy from anywhere and at any time.
