The Boeing Company - 9/25/2007

The Boeing Company:

A Boeing facility consisting of six buildings has an annual expense of $3.5 million in lighting alone.

Needs:

The ability to access and control from common web browsers.
A system is needed so that cell supervisors can administer.

Square D/Schneider Electric Meet Needs:

Square D offers the best overall solution.
A web-based solution found that could integrate both their smart breaker technology and an older relay based control system.
Because of smart breaker switching technology, smart breakers were integrated into existing panel tubs, saving time and installation costs.

Benefits to Boeing:

Electrical consumption reduced 20% during peak usage during the week and 50% on weekends and holidays.
Individual branch circuit control easily reconfigured to meet changing floor plans.
Full integration and web-based browser control.

Boeing lead electrician says, “With this system, supervisors can shed lighting and not even notice a difference of the floor. Some areas have shed 20-30% during peak usage during week day periods, 50% on weekends.”
