Sustainable development drives economic growth and is also a powerful vehicle for progress.Sustainable development have three dimensions:

• Economic, because sustainable development involves optimizing energy consumption and ensuring that installations and equipment are energy efficient ;
   
• Social, because projects must respond to the need for increased mobility of people and goods, encourage access to electricity to ensure users’ quality of life and meet safety requirements in every market ;
   
• Environmental, in limiting the environmental impact, optimizing energy consumption and encouraging the development of renewable energy.

Focus is on the economical dimension

 EcoCalculator is a tool aimed at helping you choose the best cable solution to achieve Energy Efficiency, reduced Carbon Footprint and improved Safety of people in case of fire, whilst ensuring a good return on Investment.

The aim of the EcoCalculator is to focus on energy losses during the use stage and not on the manufacturing stage, as 90% of the environmental impact of a power cable during its entire life cycle is attributable to the use stage.

Focuses on building cables

The tool focuses on building cables. Why building? Given the current reality in the construction industry players at all levels in this market are beginning to move towards sustainable buildings.

Products available within the EcoCalculator are low voltage cables, up to 1 kV – 3 phase. Calculations are based on the IEC 60287 and IEC 60228 international standards.
