Using Technology to Create High-Performance Green Buildings
Smart Network Solution for a Greener Government
Rising energy costs, environmental concerns, and new government initiatives have inspired a focus on sustainable and “green” IT operations. Government agencies are finding new ways to measure power consumption, control energy output, reduce costs, and increase operational efficiency.
An intelligent information IP network can provide a single, multiservice infrastructure to support this initiative. It helps enable environmental and building controls to regulate, monitor, and optimize energy usage. This allows agencies to save on operating costs and gain all the benefits of a greener, more sustainable facility.
