Schneider Electric Technology Boosts Builder Profitability

 

The Square D Multi-Link structured wiring system will be featured at Schneider Electric's Initi@tive 2006 trade show.

 

Schneider Electric North America
recently announced the launch of its Initi@tive 2006 Web site, www.initiative2006.net, to provide advanced information about the products, demonstrations, exhibits and professional development seminars that the company will feature during the North American debut of its building-industry oriented trade show in Orlando, Fla. on Sept. 28-30.

Initi@tive 2006 will showcase such products as Schneider Electric’s Square D Multi-Link System structured wiring — a comprehensive home network solution that maximizes the use of home technology with an infrastructure to support home offices, local area networks, high-speed Internet access and more. The Square D Multi-Link System enables home owners to control video from any room of the house and add system functionality at any time.

Headquartered in Palatine, Ill., Schneider Electric North America is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — The Supplier 100 of NAHB.

“Initi@tive 2006 is a landmark event that will demonstrate Schneider Electric’s technology and provide companies with the insight and knowledge necessary to operate more efficiently, more productively and more profitably,” said Dave Petratis, president and CEO of Schneider Electric’s North American operating division. “Schneider Electric has successfully hosted Initi@tives all over the world, but this is the first of its kind in the United States.”

Initi@tive 2006 will introduce Schneider Electric’s leading-edge technology through a series of information-packed seminars and exhibitions for several specific industries, including residential construction, automation systems, HVAC and others.

In addition, Initi@tive 2006 will highlight solutions for improving energy efficiency, as well as its PowerBuilders™ partnership program to help builders sell more electrical and home networking options and upgrades.
