Energy Conservation

We conserve energy to reduce energy costs and lessen environmental impact. Cisco uses innovative facility design, including state-of-the-art control systems and high-efficiency chillers in new buildings. Cisco also encourages responsible environmental practices among employees through employee communications. For instance, employees receive e-mail messages about environmental events and when energy usage is particularly crucial; for example, on hot days when air conditioning usage reaches peak levels.We conserve energy to reduce energy costs and lessen environmental impact.

Cisco's Energy Monitoring Committee (EMC) evaluates energy projects and oversees conservation program activities. The committee is made up of employees from across the company.
