Office Buildings

Making an office building more energy efficient is easy when you collaborate with Eaton. Our design and management services can provide turnkey solutions that are customized to a customer's needs. In addition, many of our product solutions, such as Pow-R-Command lighting control, variable frequency drives and Power Xpert meters and monitoring can help buildings qualify for LEED credits.

reliabilityReliability

  • Office buildings require a safe, reliable source of power. Eaton provides solutions to ensure a facility has power no matter what the scenario, including quick connections to generators, onsite power activation and UPS units to provide uninterruptable power until backup generators can take over.
  • With system analysis and design, Eaton's engineers can be sure the power system has the flexibility to adapt to changing requirements.

efficiencyEfficiency

  • Eaton offers a comprehensive portfolio to increase efficiency in office buildings. Meters and software track energy usage to find opportunities for savings. Tools like occupancy sensors, energy audits and lighting controls help manage energy costs proactively.
  • In addition, Eaton's solar power solutions offer a unique blend of high product quality, superior performance and unmatched reliability.

safetySafety

  • Eaton is dedicated to the safety of people and equipment in an office building. We offer comprehensive studies to identify risks, training for employee safety and products that are designed to distance people and equipment from hazards.
  • Eaton is also an industry leader in arc flash mitigation technologies and products.
Systems analysis and designSystems analysis and design
Eaton's engineers create a comprehensive view of the entire power system, forming a strategy to build flexibility into the system. Thus, as new technologies are introduced, the power system can adapt to changing requirements.
Energy auditsEnergy audits
Eaton's engineers identify inefficiencies in the total consumption of energy from all sources—electricity, gas, steam, vacuum and compressed air. Then engineers identify where waste is occurring and recommend implementing solutions to shrink energy use.
Grounding study servicesGrounding study services
Eaton's engineers analyze the grounding in a circuit and offer recommendations for equipment that will help avoid damage to nearby equipment and will reduce the risk of personal injury.
Arc flash hazard analysisArc flash hazard analysis
This service identifies places in the power system where there is risk of an arc flash event. Once dangers are known, they can be managed with equipment, training and proper labeling.
Electrical safety trainingElectrical safety training
This training helps employees to stay safe by teaching them how to identify and avoid danger.
Project-management servicesProject-management services
Eaton's project managers offer a single point of accountability for complex construction projects. This streamlines coordination, helping to complete projects on time and on budget with turnkey assistance.
Quick connectQuick connect
If utility power fails, the quick connect makes connecting a generator quick and easy without the need for skilled electricians.
Paralleling switchgearParalleling switchgear
If power is interrupted, the paralleling switchgear manages critical transactions from the power company to an onsite generator, protecting vital functions from disruption.
Automatic isolation transfer switchesAutomatic isolation transfer switches
If utility power stops or falls below an acceptable range, automatic transfer switches can activate onsite generated power to provide emergency power to critical loads throughout the office building.
switchgearLow and medium voltage switchgear
Eaton's low and medium voltage switchgear provide centralized control and protection of low and medium voltage power equipment and circuits.
UPS unitsUPS units
UPS units ensure clean, uninterrupted power to keep critical functions running until backup generators can take over, protecting data.
Power Xpert software and metersPower Xpert software and meters
With Power Xpert software and meters, facility managers are able to monitor the power system in real time with an easy-to-use Web interface. By having this information available, many problems can be avoided before they happen.
Adjustable frequency drivesAdjustable frequency drives
Eaton's adjustable frequency drives allow motors to ramp up gradually and run at optimal speeds, reducing energy consumed and peak power demand levels. In addition, Eaton's drives are the some of the smallest in the industry—making them perfect for retrofit applications.
Power factor correction capacitorsPower factor correction capacitors
These capacitors allow facilities to generate the reactive power needed to improve utilization, eliminate the need to source it from the utility. By reducing consumption, the facility is able to see immediate energy cost savings.
Harmonic mitigating transformersHarmonic mitigating transformers
These transformers reduce harmful harmonic currents that disrupt the flow of energy in a circuit, thus making consumption more efficient and reducing overall energy consumption costs.
Lighting control and occupancy sensorsLighting control and occupancy sensors
Eaton's industry-leading Pow-R-Command lighting control system helps reduce energy use by turning off the lights when a space is unoccupied and dimming overhead lighting when natural light is strong (daylight harvesting). This lighting control solution can reduce energy use by 10 to 30 percent.
Surge-protection equipmentSurge-protection equipment
Surge-protection devices are designed to minimize damage to equipment when there's a surge in voltage on an electrical circuit.
