Event helps tackle energy usage

Schneider Electric is hosting a ‘Tackling Energy' event, Sowing the Seeds of Change, which is taking place at the Botanical Gardens in Birmingham on 11 June 2009. The event is the second in the Tackling Energy series, which has proved to be a big hit with contractors, installers, panel builders and specifiers looking to improve their knowledge of energy management and gain a fresh perspective on the surrounding issues.

The day's programme features seminars focusing on the key themes of energy efficiency; understanding IEC 61439, which governs the safety and performance of electrical panels; integrated energy saving solutions; and the changes and effects of BS7671. The seminars will be running throughout the day and delegates can take part in any combination of sessions where they can interact and share ideas.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to discuss best practice and applications for specific installations, through one-to-one sessions with Schneider Electric's technical experts, as well as view product demonstrations within the exhibition area.The company's training team will also be on hand to explain its extensive range of highly effective training courses.

Schneider Electric has a team of dedicated energy experts and a comprehensive range of energy efficient services and products to provide solutions for maximising energy usage. By making the most of their energy, businesses and organisations can drive down costs, improve their competitive position, meet important legislation and reduce their carbon footprint.

David Lewis, Schneider Electric's energy efficiency specialist, comments: "Energy efficiency means something different to everyone, from capital to operational expenditure, from ‘being seen to be green' to realising tangible environmental savings. This event will show practical measures that can save energy, money and the environment, as well as highlight simple solutions and their potential benefits."

At the conference, attendees will also get the chance to enter a prize draw to win places at a corporate hospitality event at Edgbaston cricket ground on 30 July 2009.
