Great Ideas for Going Green...
Schneider Electric shows Pump OEMs how to save money and protect the environment.

The growing demand for increased energy-efficiency in business and industry is bringing new attention to the design of HVAC systems, and to the Pumping Equipment that supports these systems. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, electrical motors powering fans and pumps account for 64 percent of the electricity consumed by industrial systems. That equates to $33 billion in electricity usage every year, according to the Energy Center of Wisconsin.

Add to this the numerous pumps that supply boilers and water recirculation systems in business and industrial facilities, and the power burden is only multiplied. And, the most troubling realization is that much of this energy is being wasted because conventional control systems only operate their motors at full load -regardless of the demand - relying on valves and dampers to vary the flow.

Schneider Electric is helping Pump OEMs lead the green movement by providing products, services and the expertise to improve the way their solutions operate, day-in and day-out. As a result, we are helping Pump OEMs make a dramatic impact on the nation's energy usage.
