Energy Efficiency
Small changes for big outcomes.
Buildings contribute to 33% of greenhouse emissions and 40% of global energy consumption. But your building does not have to be one of them!
Monitor and minimize the environmental impact of your buildings with Cisco. Your wireless infrastructure (Catalyst, Meraki), together with Cisco Spaces, can drive energy efficiency by providing visibility and data insights you need to act on your Energy Efficiency goals.
We took your buildings from Smart to Safe and Seamless. Now we invite you to begin your journey towards Energy Efficiency.
Cisco can help make your
Buildings Energy Efficient
No new hardware or software vendors required
Use your Cisco network as a sensor
Make the most of your Cisco investment
You’re already halfway there, if you have an existing Cisco deployment. Your Cisco hardware can act as sensors for occupancy, air quality, temperature, humidity and more.
The data and insights you gain from them, through Cisco Spaces, can help you identify and optimize energy inefficiencies and make informed decisions to reduce your real estate carbon footprint too.
Energy Optimization
Conserve energy across your buildings. Adjust heating, lighting, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) based on actual usage and occupancy of buildings and floors.
Reduce Real Estate Cost & Carbon Footprint
Identify opportunities to optimize space and consolidate unused space for cost savings. Reduce the carbon footprint of your buildings based on true occupancy and utilization data.
Energy Efficient Operations
Use resources efficiently. Analyze real-time and historical occupancy data to take informed decisions on budgets and allocation of resources such as cleaning, maintenance and catering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Energy-Efficient Buildings?
Energy-efficient buildings use design and technology to minimize energy use while maintaining a comfortable and functional environment. They incorporate elements like advanced lighting, smart HVAC systems, and sustainable materials. By efficiently managing energy consumption, these buildings reduce utility costs and environmental footprint. energy-efficient buildings create healthier spaces for occupants and contribute to a greener future. They represent a smart investment, balancing performance with sustainability to meet modern needs.
What Role Does Technology Play in Energy-Efficient Buildings?
Technology is the backbone of energy-efficient buildings. Smart sensors monitor and adjust lighting, heating, and cooling in real time based on occupancy and environmental conditions. Data analytics provide insights into energy use patterns, which helps facility managers make informed decisions in order to reduce wastage. Automation systems optimize resource distribution and ensures that every part of the building operates at its best. With technology, buildings become adaptive and responsive, which contributes immensely to both energy conservation and occupant comfort.
What Are the Benefits of Energy-Efficient Buildings for Businesses?
Energy-efficient buildings have many advantages for businesses:
- They lower operating costs by reducing energy bills and maintenance expenses.
- Enhanced comfort and air quality improve employee well-being and productivity.
- These buildings also support sustainability goals, attracting eco-conscious customers and partners.
Companies that invest in energy-efficient buildings demonstrate a commitment to sustainability that can make them more competitive. In addition to reducing energy consumption, energy-efficient buildings are often eligible for incentives and certifications that help them stand out.
How Can Cisco Spaces Help With Energy-Efficient Buildings?
Cisco Spaces transforms buildings into smart spaces using your existing Cisco infrastructure. It monitors real-time data on occupancy and manages heating, lighting, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC). This helps optimize energy consumption by adjusting systems based on actual needs. The tool also provides insights into space utilization, which helps in better planning and resource allocation. By leveraging your current network, Cisco Spaces enhances energy management without extra hardware and reduces costs.
How Does Space Utilization Analytics Impact Energy Efficiency?
Space utilization analytics reveal how different areas of a building are used throughout the day. By understanding occupancy patterns, energy systems can be adjusted to align with actual usage, which reduces unnecessary energy consumption. For example, heating or cooling can be lowered in unused rooms, and lighting can be dimmed where fewer people are present. This targeted approach ensures that energy is used only where needed, which leads to substantial energy savings and a more sustainable building.
