I just got off the phone with my teammate, Luis Suau. He called to tell me that in the past several days he turned up several PC’s with energy management software from 1e (http://www.1e.com/) and his Field Server (http://www.fieldserver.com/) gateway is able to use an existing BACnet application to control Cisco EnergyWise enabled end points.
As we approach our demonstration date of July 11th, 2011, we’re wrapping up a few modifications in the “Innervated Building” lab. For Cisco Live, I expect we’ll be able to demonstrate more than just the Innervated Building Services, Phase I: Measurement and Visibility.
The objective of Phase I: Measurement and Visibility is to show just that. We set out to use over a dozen new beta products from Cisco EnergyWise partners to demonstrate how customers can leverage Cisco EnergyWise to initiate a quick and simple solution that measures and reports real-time whole building energy consumption while making results visible to all building tenants. Phase I is about getting the infrastructure in place to create energy literacy, save money, and demonstrate the role of IT network engineers in creating sustainability programs. Moreover, it establishes a baseline from which to launch additional sustainability enhancements.
At Cisco Live we’re prepared to show customers how they can collect energy use information from the building power entrance facility and project the relevant information to existing Cisco Digital Media Signage. Throughout this process, we’ve had the great fortune to brainstorm new solutions with over 30 of Cisco’s development partners. Many of these will demonstrate their products and Cisco EnergyWise related solutions at Cisco Live.
So, how do you Innervate a Building with ICT? Stay tuned and follow us at Cisco Live http://www.ciscolive.com/us/
