Energy efficiency, environment, health, conservation of energyand raw materials, new regulations, Green Buildings, etc., are justsome of the topics concerning sustainable development that will have

an impact on the day-to-day life of those involved in the electricity sector,at the forefront of which is Power.The purpose of this book is to help readers understand and analyse thenumerous voluntary environmental processes, regulations and directivesthat will have a bearing on any future building project.

This book summarises the global context that foreshadowed and then sawthe introduction of new regulatory frameworks for sustainable development,and then goes on describing in detail all the practical provisions forbecoming involved in this process at company, installation and building,and product level.

In the context of electrical installations, whether these are residential,commercial or industrial, the main lever for action is referred to as energyefficiency. Much of this book is devoted to this subject. Book 2 givesthe technical details of this approach using the power analysis process.

In this universal approach which underlies sustainable development,the voluntary part is paramount and each of those involved in the professionmust be involved in order to make tangible progress.

The Global Compact, launched at the 1999 WorldEconomic Forum in Davos under the impetus of kofiAnnan, United Nations Secretary General, aims atencouraging responsible values and practices in theglobal mar ets to enable all people to benefit from theadvantages of globalisation.The United Nations Secretary General invited company

directors to join this international initiative by signing aletter of commitment. The Global Compact is a code ofconduct setting out 10 principles in the areas of humanrights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption.

2 ExTRA-FInAnCIALRATInG AGEnCIESExtra-financial rating agencies assess companies'CSR processes according to their own specificmethodologies. They often work based on analysesof public documents and data specifically providedby companies.The assessments are made available to investors orethical indexes, which select companies in particu-lar on the basis of social, environmental, ethical andgovernance criteria. The Legrand Group regularly res-ponds to this type of request, thus choosing to submitits performance to expert analysis, in a desire fortransparency and continuous improvement.

3 ISO 14001 CERTIFICATIOnThe ISO (International Organisation for Standar-disation), a network of the national standardisationinstitutes of 157 countries coordinated by a CentralSecretariat in Geneva, Switzerland, has severalstandards and certification syste s to eet the requi-re ents of business and the broader needs of society.One of the ost widely used certification syste s,standard ISO 14001, is used for setting up an envi-ron ental anage ent syste (EmS) for an activity(for exa ple: an industrial site, a logistics activity)or a process (for exa ple: product design). An envi-ron ental anage ent syste that co plies withstandard ISO 14001 is based on a voluntaryprocess that ust enable the following:

- Enhance awareness of the environ ental i pacts ofthe activity- Ensure co pliance with regulations and anticipatefuture develop ents- I prove practices within a process of continuousi prove ent of environ ental perfor ance.ISO 14001 certification is obtained as a result of anaudit carried out by an accredited external body.maintaining certification subsequently is dependenton regular (annual) checking that the syste co plieswith the standard and renewal of the certification(every 3 years) by an independent body.

Applicationin companies (continued)

Beyond establishing main principles and definingnew values, sustainable development within a com-pany involves setting up cross-disciplinary projects tomobilise people. Companies express their sustainabledevelopment personality and identity through theseactions.

1 EnvIROnmEnTAL PROJECTS

1.1. Legra d Cli actThe Legrand Climact project was launched in 2007

with the aim of reducing CO 2 emissions across thewhole Group. Improved use of natural resources andthe development of environmentally-friendly productsenable Legrand to position itself as a company that isresponsible in this field, with three main principles:controlled energy consumption, eco-design and thetransport of goods and people.

1.2. Let's Go GreeIn the United States, the LETS GO GREEN! project,developed in 2008, illustrates how sustainable deve-lopment issues are being taken on board within theGroup. For Legrand North America, this strategic prio-rity has led to ISO 14001 certification of four sites and areduction in electricity consumption of 5.8 million kWh.

A KEy AREA: EnERGy EFFICIEnCy

1 DEFInITIOnAt building level, energy efficiency covers all the

ethods used to reduce the energy used for a givenservice (heating, lighting, operating achines, etc.).Two types of energy efficiency are generally takeninto consideration:- Energy efficiency associated with the fra eworkThis corresponds to the structural properties of thebuilding that will reduce energy require ents (and inparticular heating and lighting). This category inclu-

des: opti ised insulation, double glazing, treat entof heat bridges, anage ent of openings (doors andwindows) and coverings (blinds and shutters).- Energy efficiency fro high-perfor ance equip entand as a result of the anage ent of this equip ent.High-perfor ance equip ent is that providing thebest efficiency.

Equip ent anage ent is used to adapt the leveland duration of the provision of energy to require-

ents. It corresponds to the installation of productsand syste s that will regulate and auto ate energyconsu ption in the building in order to avoid unneces-sary consu ption.

brazilAdoption in 1985 of a national progra e forenergy efficiency in buildings: Progra a Nacionalde Eficincia Energtica e Edificaes (PROCELEDIFICA), an integral part of the overall energyconservation progra e entitled PROCEL (Progra aNacional de Conservaao de Energia Eltrica).main easures:- Labelling syste to infor consu ers- Energy audits and diagnoses- Encourage ent of the use of ore energy-efficientequip ent and installations in public and residentialbuildings- Reduction of losses in the electrical syste .

Since 2001, the Brazilian govern ent has been pro o-ting a nu ber of energy efficiency actions, includingthe Federal Regulation for Voluntary Labelling ofEnergy Efficiency Levels (based on the European EPD

odel) in Co ercial, Public and Service Buildings.

For ne ildings, this involves application of "btimentbasse Consommation", bbC (1) (representing cons mp-tion of less than 50 kwh/m /year of primary energy)to ne ildings y the end of 2012 (end of 2010 forcommercial and p lic ildings). The positive energy

ilding (in France, bEPOS) is a str ct re hose energycons mption (heat, electricity generated y standalone

South Africa has set itself the objective of a 15%

reduction in the energy de and of buildings by 2014.By eans of the Draft Energy Efficiency Strategy(2004) the country wants to establish ini u energyefficiency levels and a andatory progra e ofenergy efficiency audits.For co ercial buildings, the energy perfor ancestandards are defined in SANS 204 (South AfricaNational Standard 204) which is to be incorporated inthe Building Code ( aking SANS 204 andatory).

Two standards belonging to the Energy ConservationLaw adopted in 1979:- Criteria for Clients on the Rationalization of EnergyUse for Buildings for non-residential buildings- Design and Construction Guidelines on theRationalisation of Energy Use for Ho es for residen-tial buildings.

C inaIn 2006, establish ent of the Building EnergyEfficiency Ad inistration Regulation (BEEAR)by the Chinese govern ent.Requires:- mini u energy efficiency levels to be reached in allnew buildings- That all building and insulation aterials, doors,windows, and heating, lighting and air conditioninginstallations have an inspection certificate, a datasheet and a label certifying that the product co plieswith the local energy efficiency standards.

Once they have been installed, these products ust betested in situ and the results ust be sent to a qualitycontrol institute.Fro now on, the building code requires energysavings of around 50 to 60% to be achieved in co pari-son with non-insulated buildings.

India

In India, there are several different codes and regu-lations applicable to buildings. The National BuildingCode (NBC), developed by the Bureau of IndianStandards, provides general guidelines on energyuse without setting performance/consumption limits.For commercial buildings, the Energy ConservationBuilding Code (ECBC) lists numerous requirementson building features that influence building energyperformance. The ECBC is applicable to buildingsor building complexes that have a connected load of500 kW or more or a contract demand of more than600 kVA with a minimum area of 1000 m. The energyefficiency building code includes both a prescriptive(sets separate energy efficiency requirements for eachbuilding part and for each part of the equipment) and

an energy performance method (based on a buildingsoverall consumption of energy). The code will bevoluntary at first as it has to be adopted by each of theindividual federal states to become mandatory.> O ean a

Australia

In 1999 Australia defined a strategy designed toimprove the energy efficiency of its residential andnon-residential buildings.The Australian government established a minimumenergy performance level in the Building Code ofAustralia. In addition, the Australian Government iscurrently working with State and Territory govern-ments to develop a new nationally consistentmandatory disclosure scheme for commercial officebuilding energy efficiency.

> Russ aAdoption of the Energy Efficiency Building (EEB) Codesand Standards at country level in 2003 (based on codesalready developed at regional level).Applies to both new and existing buildings.Objective:- To classify new and existing buildings accordingto their energy performance level. Energy passportsprovide buyers and residents with information on theenergy properties of the building- To create mechanisms for identifying lower perfor-mance buildings and ensure they are upgraded- To develop methods for testing compliance of theproject in terms of thermal performance and energyefficiency throughout the life cycle of the building(design, construction, use).

Throughout the world, nu erous bodies supporta bitious voluntary processes that de and veryhigh energy efficiency levels. In addition, with a viewto continuous i prove ent of energy perfor ancelevels, certain countries are toughening their regula-tions and gradually incorporating these progra esor voluntary labels as ini u perfor ance levels.In Europe, various low consu ption building certifi-cation progra es have been developed in a nu berof countries. In Switzerland for exa ple, the minergielabel is awarded to houses whose heating and do es-tic hot water require ents are below 42 kWh/ /year.As a co parison, the average consu ption

of a building is in the region of 400 kWh/ /yearworldwide. In Ger any, the Passivhaus (passivehouse) progra e is growing fast.In the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealandand Japan, there are increasing nu bers of housingprojects using the sa e a ount of energy as theyproduce: these are Zero Energy Ho es (ZEH). A zero-energy house ust be self-sufficient in ter s of itsannual energy bill. To do this, it ust produce theelectricity and part of the energy needed to eet itsheating require ents itself. A house can therefore bezero-energy across the annual bill, but does not haveto be totally self-sufficient all the ti e: it will tendto produce a surplus of energy in the su er andconsu e ore than it produces in the winter.
