Monitoring Vitality Consumption on the Cisco Retailer


This 12 months at Cisco Reside EMEA in Amsterdam, the Cisco Retailer started a brand new initiative to proceed selling sustainability in our each day operations. The ability for the know-how deployed at our journey retailer was routed via twelve Meraki MT40s (sensible energy controllers that may monitor and remotely management energy). With our units working 24/7, we baselined the shop’s energy consumption all through the occasion with the assistance of CAE Labs’ WiserWatts: our complete vitality consumption for the present was 222.01 kWh. WiserWatts displays our Meraki units’ energy consumption and gives power-saving, energy-efficient suggestions. Subsequent 12 months, we are going to schedule our energy to check vitality and value financial savings to actively scale back our carbon footprint. Related baselining and consequent energy scheduling will probably be performed at Cisco Reside International beginning this June.

We equally baselined our energy consumption at our San Jose retailer, with the entire energy consumption for 15 screens working 24/7 over one week popping out to 429.72 kWh. With the assistance of CAE Labs, we scheduled the shop’s entry factors and switches to activate and off over PoE (Energy over Ethernet), and screens have been routed via Meraki MT40s. We started shutting off the ability throughout off-hours in San Jose, solely permitting screens to stay ‘on’ for 12 hours a day, Monday via Friday: this resulted in our energy consumption over one week decreasing to 154.87 kWh, a 274.85 kWh distinction!

SJC Energy Consumption Savings (kWh)

In comparison with the baseline week, scheduling energy shut offs throughout off-hours additionally resulted in vitality prices decreasing from $64.46 USD to $23.23, a $41.23 distinction (assuming $0.15/kWh in the USA).

SJC Cost Savings

As one of many Cisco Retailer’s six core pillars is Sustainability, we closely prioritize decreasing our carbon emissions. Our scheduled energy shut offs additionally resulted in a discount of our greenhouse gasoline emissions (GHG emissions) from 204.96 kg CO2to 74 kg CO2e, a 130.96 kg CO2e distinction.

SJC GHG Emission Savings

The Cisco Retailer plans to commonly monitor our vitality, price, and GHG financial savings with this new initiative, and month-to-month updates will probably be printed on our Cisco Retailer Tech Lab SharePoint web page (Cisco workers: log in through SSO to view). You’ll want to verify again in to see our progress!
