Lean and Green Solutions for Energy Savings
With Lean and Green Solutions From Cisco, You Can Reduce Energy Consumption and Respond Flexibly to Changing Regulations

A lean and green approach to building management does more than save money. By using the Cisco Open Energy Management System to implement energy-saving practices throughout your stores, you can become more responsive to regulations, and position yourself as a leader against climate change.

Each year, retailers see new lean and green energy systems and technologies emerge, along with new legislative requirements. Rather than reinvent your energy infrastructure whenever a new regulation appears, you should focus on creating an open, integrated framework. With lean and green solutions from Cisco, you can assimilate these new technologies, and help your stores adapt to future changes in energy policy.
Lean and Green Energy Management

Many retail stores depend on building automation systems that consist of multiple devices on proprietary networks. No central system exists to monitor, analyze, and manage the energy-consuming systems throughout the store.

A lean and green solution from Cisco reduces your energy costs, simplifies building maintenance, and makes it easier than ever to modify or upgrade your system.
Open Energy Management System from Cisco

Lean and green doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, one of the easiest, most effective ways to reduce your energy output is to streamline and centralize your operations. With Open Energy Management, you can monitor all of your building subsystems on the trusted and secure Cisco network through an open XML interface, greatly enhancing your ability to analyze and act on energy-saving opportunities.
Major Business Benefits

Open Energy Management from Cisco substantially reduces energy consumption across multiple systems, resulting in lean and green benefits that are both good for the planet and your profitability. And because the Open Energy Management System operates on an open framework, future changes and upgrades will be far easier to implement.
