• New Brightlayer Energy software delivers automated, dynamic and grid-interactive energy optimization
• Comprehensive monitoring and reporting for Scope 1 and 2 emissions supports compliance with regional regulatory requirements in North America, Europe and the Middle East
• Pilot projects demonstrate significant energy, cost, emissions and maintenance savings

PITTSBURGH, March 17, 2026 /3BL/ – Intelligent power management company Eaton today announced the availability of Brightlayer Energy, an AI-powered energy management and optimization system (EMOS). It is designed to help building owners manage, optimize and monetize energy investments, while meeting local regulatory requirements. The platform delivers real-time data analysis, forecasting and automated control to help maximize benefits from building electrical infrastructure and distributed energy resources.

There are significant opportunities to improve building energy performance. The average commercial building in the U.S. wastes 30% of its energy, while 75% of buildings have poor energy performance in the European Union. Brightlayer Energy software helps address these challenges as part of Eaton’s Buildings as a Grid approach, which transforms buildings into strategic and dynamic energy hubs that drive new efficiencies, advance energy resilience, reduce costs and accelerate progress toward sustainability goals, which are required in Europe under the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).

“Building environments everywhere are becoming increasingly complex with diverse energy assets and evolving regional regulatory requirements—and digital tools are vital to simplify and improve energy management,” said Mark Roces, vice president, digital offer management at Eaton. “As a key part of our digital ecosystem for buildings that includes proven energy storage, microgrid control and electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions, our Brightlayer Energy software provides the foundation to optimize building infrastructure investments and helps enable a reliable supply of low-cost, sustainable electricity, while meeting compliance obligations.”

Brightlayer Energy software early successes yield significant savings

Implementations in Europe and North America demonstrate energy efficiency, maintenance savings and emissions reductions. For example, the Florian Hotel in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, lowered electricity costs by more than 25% and reduced emissions by 27% while adding nine EV chargers. At an Eaton warehouse in Spartanburg, South Carolina, the company used the software to save 17% on energy costs overall and reduced forklift charging costs 66% by eliminating high energy demand spikes.

Eaton software designed for building energy optimization and performance

Brightlayer Energy software utilizes advanced algorithms that transform real-time data into actionable insights enabling energy use forecasting with 99% accuracy. The platform provides comprehensive oversight of energy consumption patterns, potential savings and efficiency improvements to help businesses evaluate energy strategies for cost-efficiency, sustainability and long-term reliability. With real-time weather data integration, users can forecast onsite solar generation and optimize energy production, automatically directing excess solar power to battery energy storage systems (BESS) for use when demand is high.

The platform also automates complex data aggregation and provides multi-tiered management at site, campus and enterprise levels for proactive energy oversight and optimization. The technology simplifies monitoring of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, manages EV charging, and implements peak shaving and tariff-based load shifting strategies. Additionally, the software integrates energy market data to strategically orchestrate energy production while providing recommendations for improved operations and compliance reporting.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 19, 2026 /3BL/ – The landmark environmental program Tree City USA celebrates its 50th anniversary. Founded by the Arbor Day Foundation in 1976, Tree City USA has helped shape how American communities care for their trees and includes cities and towns ranging in population from just 20 people in Sibley, North Dakota to 8.8 million in New York City, New York.

“While a lot has changed over the last five decades, trees have remained a constant and crucial part of improving the health and wellbeing of our communities. In the last 50 years Tree City USA — and the incredible network of tree champions who have supported it — has shaped a legacy of meaningful civic impact,” said Dan Lambe, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. “This milestone is a tribute to the local leaders who are working everyday to grow hope across the country.”

In 1976, 42 communities earned the distinction of Tree City USA. Today, more than 3,500 cities and towns in all 50 states are currently recognized through the program. Tree City USA communities plant nearly 1 million trees annually and the 2024 class of recognized communities invested a collective $2 billion in trees. By gaining recognition through the program, municipalities have gained access to a unique national network of urban forestry professionals and helped create greater local support for canopy growth. 

“City staff are incredibly proud that Salem is a founding member of Tree City USA, a testament to our long-standing commitment to nurturing our urban canopy,” said Milan Davis, urban forester in City of Salem, Oregon. “Participation in this program reinforces the importance of trees in enhancing the quality of life for our residents and ensures a sustainable future for our community.”

“Since becoming a Tree City USA community, we’ve noticed a tangible increase in public engagement. Residents actively participate in tree plantings, educational programs, and care initiatives,” said Joe Avila, urban forestry supervisor in City of Wooster, Ohio. “Community perception of our trees has shifted from simply aesthetic value to recognizing trees as essential infrastructure that benefits everyone.”

Nearly half of the U.S. population lives in a Tree City USA.

To earn Tree City USA recognition, a city must uphold four core standards including maintaining a tree board or department, having a community tree ordinance, spending at least $2 per capita on urban forestry, and participating in an Arbor Day celebration.

The Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA program is operated in partnership with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service. To learn more about the history of the Tree City USA, visit arborday.org.

About the Arbor Day Foundation 

The Arbor Day Foundation is a global nonprofit inspiring people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees. They foster a growing community of more than 1 million leaders, innovators, planters, and supporters united by their bold belief that a more hopeful future can be shaped through the power of trees. For more than 50 years, they’ve answered critical need with action, planting more than half a billion trees alongside their partners.

And this is only the beginning.

by Lee Green, Vice President, Communications & Marketing, Cascale

Cascale’s latest “Decarbonization Progress in the Apparel, Footwear, and Textiles Industry” report is grounded in verified, facility-level data from thousands of manufacturing sites globally. That matters. It means the insights reflect operational reality, not projections or pledges.

Results show us that there is progress in the system: facilities are improving energy efficiency and reporting is more consistent. Climate performance is increasingly embedded into operational decision-making.

But the overall trajectory is not yet aligned with a 1.5°C pathway. That is not a failure of intent, it is a signal that we have reached the limits of what incremental, company-level improvements can deliver on their own.

The Constraint is Structural, Not Motivational

One of the clearest findings from the report is the continued reliance on fossil fuels in key sourcing regions. Renewable penetration remains low in many markets, and coal continues to play a significant role in industrial energy systems.

This is not simply a procurement issue nor something brands or manufacturers can solve independently. Already, evolving European regulation coupled with existing grid challenges creates a “confusing” landscape for Asia-Pacific suppliers looking to decarbonize, as a recent Cascale policy workshop revealed. Efficiency gains help, but they cannot compensate for structural energy realities. If we want emissions reductions at scale, industrial decarbonization and energy policy must move in parallel.

And for that to happen, we cannot overlook the necessity of collaboration, data readiness, and proactive industry engagement. That’s where Cascale has a convening role to play.

Why This Is Now a Public Affairs Issue

The report reinforces something many in the industry already recognize: climate ambition in global supply chains is inseparable from national policy frameworks. Grid decarbonization, renewable access for industrial users, electrification strategies, and financing mechanisms are not abstract policy debates. They are direct determinants of whether climate targets in our sector are achievable.

This is where Cascale’s role becomes more assertive.

We are not simply publishing data. We are providing an evidence base that can inform smarter, more implementable policy. Verified facility-level data gives policymakers insight into where emissions are concentrated, where barriers exist, and where intervention can be most effective.

Regulation that reflects operational reality is more likely to drive impact. Regulation layered on top of fragmented reporting systems risks adding burden without accelerating emissions reductions.

Alignment matters.

From Fragmentation to Alignment

The data also highlights the opportunity in greater coherence. As climate-related disclosure and due diligence frameworks evolve globally, there is a risk of increasing complexity for manufacturers and brands.

At the same time, there is an opportunity to align regulatory expectations with credible, existing data systems. When policy frameworks and industry tools move in the same direction, implementation becomes more efficient and more scalable.

Cascale is uniquely positioned at that intersection: between brands and manufacturers, between data and policy, between ambition and implementation. We see firsthand where the barriers lie. That perspective is invaluable in informing how policy evolves. From callouts at COP30 to mentions by the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) in a recent report, our team is grateful to see our contributions increasingly recognized where it counts for industry-wide change

The Next Phase of Decarbonization

The industry is not standing still. The report shows real effort and measurable improvement, but progress at the current pace will not close the gap on its own.

The next phase of decarbonization in apparel and textiles will depend on coordinated action across industry, governments, and finance. Energy systems must transition faster and industrial users need clearer pathways and incentives. Policy must be designed with operational feasibility in mind. It must understand the realities on the ground.

Today, the data gives us a shared reference point. The responsibility now is to use it to shape the conditions that enable faster change. That is not just a sustainability challenge. It is a policy one.

Read the latest APAC political priorities paper to further understand the state of play for industry decarbonization.
