Rethink ways of saving energy costs: Schneider

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 24 (Bernama) -- Schneider Electric, the global energy management specialist, has asked businesses to rethink ways to save energy costs.

It said businesses should adopt efficient energy management methods in the overall standard practices.

These practices would not only provide savings on energy costs, but can limit carbon emissions, it said.

In Malaysia, Schneider Electric is deploying their energy-efficient solutions within their office building such as power monitoring and lighting control to reap the benefits of practising better energy management, it said.

"They hope this will highlight their commitment of making the most of their energy and drive the need for energy management in the country," it said in a statement today.

Energy usage has become an increasingly important issue in Malaysia.Currently, over 1,000 companies, which make up the highest consumer energy in the country, are required to employ an electrical energy manager.

These individuals receive continuing education and are responsible for supervising the company's usage to conserve energy, it said.

"Malaysia has taken large steps in implementing energy-efficient practices but awareness levels are still low.

"Businesses need to realise that there are areas within their organisation that are power hungry and this can lead to higher energy costs per month.

"Through energy management practices, they can lower their energy costs by up to 30 per cent.

"These savings can be used for other areas of the business to stay competitive in their respective industries," said Peter Cave, the Malaysian Country President of Schneider Electric.
