objectives from ECM<br />

design to installation<br />

Schneider Electric has partnered with several clients to create a positive marketing message to the<br />

community regarding our clients’ efforts to reduce their energy spend and their carbon footprint. In<br />

conjunction with our PR firm, Text 100, we collaborate with our clients to create press releases, local<br />

publicity events, sponsorships and other marketing avenues to maximize the goodwill from our combined<br />

energy reduction efforts. Proof Point: In 2011, we collaborated with the City of Harlingen to host a<br />

ribbon-cutting ceremony to promote the installation of their solar photovoltaic system. Over 100<br />

people attended the event, and the event was covered by several local media entities, including<br />

TV, newspaper and magazines.<br />

Support <strong>Service</strong>s and Training<br />

Initial training is designed to empower operating staff to operate and understand new or existing building<br />

systems. Schneider Electric will assess your staff capabilities and identify potential areas for additional<br />

training, including:<br />

• Energy management control systems<br />

• HVAC optimization and maintenance<br />

• Preventative maintenance<br />

• Building system trouble shooting<br />

Rebates and Grants<br />

Schneider Electric actively monitors the various state regulatory agencies that have rulemaking authority<br />

for utility rebate programs. Schneider Electric is typically able to use the rebates to reduce the installed<br />

cost of the projects, which will improve the overall payback period and allow us to install additional<br />

measures within the contract term or possibly reduce the term of the contract. Proof Point: In Texas<br />

alone Schneider Electric clients have received over $8 million in rebates.<br />
