With our Buildings as a Grid approach, you can transform your building into an energy hub to take advantage of the new power paradigm, better manage existing electrical infrastructure and prepare for future energy requirements. This is our Everything as a Grid strategy at work, creating flexible energy systems to power the future—accelerating decarbonization, boosting resilience, reducing energy costs and creating new revenue streams.
When your building is an electric grid, it’s easier to get the power you need and make your infrastructure work better and harder. This means office, campus, retail, condominium, airport and arena power systems can be put to work in new ways to achieve energy goals and boost the bottom line while supporting your local utility grid.
Buildings require a lot of power. And in the future, they will require a lot more power. So, the impact of using power more wisely is crucial to support decarbonization, business continuity and controlling energy costs—establishing a competitive edge and expanding what your building can do for you.
There is a tremendous opportunity to make existing building electrical infrastructure do more to help you prepare for what’s to come. Our Buildings as a Grid approach gives you greater control over your energy system.
Buildings as a Grid: put your energy to work in new ways
Buildings as a Grid infrastructure combines local power generation, energy storage and intelligent control to deliver the maximum benefit from your energy system.
You can leverage existing energy infrastructure with a modular approach that can easily scale to meet changing energy needs. Enabling building owners to balance sustainability, affordability and reliability through flexible energy systems.
At Eaton, we know this to be true because we’ve been helping customers to do just that: create electrical systems that meet today’s energy requirements and anticipate tomorrow’s energy challenges.
