Offices

Buildings account for 72 percent of the energy consumed in the U.S., according to the U.S. Green Building Council. To help us achieve energy independence and security, government office buildings must operate more efficiently.

Eaton is a leader in environmentally sound products that reduce energy use. We can help your building lead by example in conserving resources, reducing energy consumption and optimizing overall building performance.

efficiency mandates

Meet efficiency mandates
Federal buildings must meet mandates to reduce energy use. PowerChain Management solutions can help buildings meet these mandates through a system-wide approach to finding and implementing opportunities for energy savings.
21st century needs

Meet 21st century needs
The power demands of modern computer technologies, security systems, lighting and air conditioning often exceed the electrical capacity of older courthouses. But space for larger electrical rooms is often limited. Eaton’s Integrated Facility System switchboard reduces the space needed for panelboards and transformers, allowing more capacity in the existing electrical room.
sustainable offices

More sustainable offices
New federal office construction and major renovations must meet building performance targets for more energy-efficient, sustainable operations. Eaton’s lighting and building management solutions provide automated controls that reduce energy consumption, optimize building performance and limit greenhouse gas emissions.
Measure energy

Measure energy use better
Federal guidelines require utility metering as part of new federal office construction and major renovations. Eaton’s measurement and verification systems allow building managers to monitor power consumption in real time from their desktops.
daylight

Smarter use of daylight
Using artificial lighting in offices when daylight is strong wastes energy. Eaton’s Pow-R-Command daylight harvesting solution automatically adjusts electric lighting levels based on available daylight. That reduces energy consumption and optimizes system performance.

Getting a good start
If a new office building’s performance isn't verified as construction ends, there may be undetected gaps in meeting design requirements. Eaton field service engineers are factory trained and certified to commission systems and assure they perform to building design specifications and drawings.
