Why every watt
of energy matters
A computer monitor sits on all weekend. A desk
lamp and fan continue to run after the user has
gone to a long meeting. A printer idles for hours.
Individually, they may not seem like much. Five
watts of energy here, 10 there. But when you add
them up suddenly they make 20-to-40 per
cent of your total energy bill. And all told, these
distributed, network-connected IT devices and
plug loads cost businesses about 69B per year in
energy. Most assume that there is no way to control
these costs for buildings. Until now. Introducing
EnergySTEP@Work
TM
a new solution that brings
IT devices and plug loads online and makes their
energy visible and controllable.
Now a new solution extends your ability to measure
and manage previously uncontrolled energy costs
Small savings add up to a bigger bottom line
Traditional energy management goes after energy
hogs such as HVAC and lighting, which make up
60-to-80 per cent of energy costs in a building.
Schneider Electric

offers solutions for these areas

that cut energy costs by up to 30 per cent.
For the rest of the buildings energy, we have now
developed a technically advanced solution that
measures, reports, controls, and optimizes the
energy used by distributed, network-controlled
IT devices and plug loads.
EnergySTEP@Work allows you to tackle the large
number of small plug loads found in personal
workspaces that waste energy when not in use.
Examples include personal productivity devices
like PCs, laptops, IP phones, and printers, as well
as task lighting, fans, and other items plugged
into surge protectors. These items constitute a
signifcant amount of your energy spend because
an increasing number of network-connected
devices are being deployed and need to be
managed (Internet of Everything). In addition,
upwards of 35 per cent of employees are bringing
their own devices (BYOD) to work.
With EnergySTEP@Work, you gain full visibility into
this energy consumption, right down to individual
devices if you choose then manage them easily
using your own building management system (BMS).
From HVAC to security to PCs, you can better
understand how energy is spent through one
easy-to-use dashboard view and integrated reports.
The fnancial result is that energy consumption and
costs can be cut by up to 25 per cent for devices
and plug loads. This translates into an additional
overall net energy savings of up to 10 per cent off
your total current energy bill. Add this to the up to
30 per cent savings achieved with energy effciency
in the rest of your building, and you have the potential
to save up to 40 per cent off your total energy spend.

What could you achieve if you controlled energy for distributed
IT devices and plug loads?
4 EnergySTEP@Work Schneider Electric EnergySTEP@Work Schneider Electric 5
EnergySTEP@Work is easy to install and compatible
with all Schneider Electric building management
systems, including StruxureWare. Each device is
discovered on the network for rapid commissioning.
You monitor and manage IT devices and plug
loads using the same scheduling and event-driven
methods used to manage big loads such as HVAC.
IT devices and plug loads are identifed and
prioritized by name, function, type, location,
importance, or keyword. Any combination of these
attributes can be used to query and command
devices in groups or individually. Network port-level
and plug-level sub metering and control allow you
to read, measure, analyze, and control energy use
and costs which had previously gone unmeasured
and uncontrolled.
To reduce energy waste and save money, you
control the endpoints energy loads through their
operating power states. Power consumption
changes can be based on occupancy (when the
space is in use for instance, when an access
card is swiped) and/or scheduled events such as
turning equipment off on weekends.
To protect your business, extensive network
security protections are included integrated
frewall, IP address flter, password-protected
confguration, and role-based login. Overall
security is also increased because networked
devices are powered down when not in use.
You already manage big energy loads.
Now reduce waste from the small ones.
Bring your energy online to gain full visibility

EnergySTEP@Work is an easy-to-use and powerful solution that allows you to manage hundreds,
or even thousands, of IT devices and plug loads. Aggregating a large number of small energy users
to control energy consumption and waste creates big savings.

The savings
off your total

can now achieve.
Todays work place is changing quickly. Among
the trends affecting how we work is bring your
own device (BYOD), which refects the increasing
number of employee-owned tablets, smart phones,
and notebooks now commonly used in the offce.
By 2014, each knowledge worker will own an
average of three personal technology devices.
This increase in the consumerism of IT requires
creative solutions for maintaining security as well
as managing the additional energy used by these
personal devices.
At the same time, we are experiencing an Internet
of Everything (IoE) phenomenon, the intelligent
connection of people, process, data, and things
on the network. It is estimated that approximately
15 billion devices will be connected to the Internet
by 2015 and around 40 billion by 2020 and this is
still less than one per cent of objects that may one
day be connected.
EnergySTEP@Work helps work places manage
the increased energy use and security needs of
BYOD. This solution also digitizes energy and brings
it online as part of the IoE, giving you an enhanced
ability to see, control, and optimize energy consumed
by IT devices and plug loads that was not previously
visible or manageable.
Empower employees for energy savings
For employees, EnergySTEP@Work can be a game
changer. Most people want to be more energy-
effcient and care about the planet. This solution
can allow employees to see their own energy use
and take responsibility for it. Daily behavioural
changes will improve costs and boost moral as
employees (or building occupants) gain satisfaction
from being empowered to assist in energy effciency.
Increased effciency results in increased productivity
and asset value in buildings.

Case Study: The value of EnergySTEP@Work
Urban areas are responsible for a signifcant
portion of CO2 emissions, so Connected Urban
Development (CUD) was formed as a partnership
with leading cities to help them reduce carbon
emissions while enhancing quality of life.
Three Lisbon, Portugal, high schools were the frst
selected for a pilot project under CUDs Smart
UrbanEnergy for Schools. This project created unifed
energy management, allowing for real-time energy
monitoring and management across 10 buildings at
the three schools which serve 3,600 students.
This pilot, which uses EnergySTEP@Work, took
a people-centric approach to energy effciency
that promoted active involvement of each schools
population (students, teachers, families) and
community in all stages of the programme, and
made the pilots results available as a source of
educational material.
This solution integrates Cisco EnergyWise

technology with Schneider Electric EcoStruxure

architecture and includes management of
distributed devices/plug loads as well as lighting,
heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
Partner software provides a single control interface.
The result is a 25 per cent energy reduction in
distributed devices and plug loads which include
PCs, IP phones, WAPs, IP video cameras, and
network switches. HVAC and lighting systems
also saw a cost reduction.
