HELPING YOU MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR ENERGY
The world’s energy system is today at a crossroads. Current global trends in energy supply and consumption are clearly unsustainable – environmentally, socially, and economically. But that can be changed. Our future depends on how successfully we tackle the two energy challenges facing us today: securing the supply of reliable and affordable energy; and effecting a rapid transformation to a low –carbon, efficient and environmentally benign system of energy supply. Schneider Electric is committed to more than just reducing energy consumption – we are pledging to be a best in class example of energy efficiency in our operations and to set the pace for others in the industrial sector. We engage to answer our customers' problems and help them make the most of their energy.

Considering issues of strategic importance when investing in a Data Centre can greatly
improve the longevity of the building, staff welfare and return on investment. Operational efficiency is one of the challenges which can
be transformed by the surrounding environment and applications employed to keep costs in check. Over time this will boost the Data Centre’s
longevity, efficiency and overall health.
An interactive session comprising presentations from key members of Arup’s engineering team and The Clinic - where the audience's data centre
aches and pains can be discussed amongst peers and panel. Topics include local case studies, Tier classification, Virtual Reality and the
