Nov 30, 2009 -- BUSINESS WIRE


Just as the President and others push for new energy efficiencies in government, a revolutionary new approach is being employed by industry leaders to reduce energy use in data centers and in new and existing buildings. Panduit's Unified Physical Infrastructure(SM) (UPI) approach helps design innovative solutions for Smart Data Centers and Connected Buildings. These Solutions address key sustainability concerns of government agencies and lay the foundation for a smarter and more sustainable infrastructure that can help reduce energy consumption by 15-30 percent.

WHAT Join representatives from Panduit Corp., Cisco Systems and Tridium Inc. for lunch and a panel discussion on the latest innovations in Data Center and Connected Building Solutions.

WHY Buildings consume 72 percent of all the electricity produced in the U.S. and emit almost 40 percent of all greenhouse gases. Data centers alone account for 1.5 percent of U.S. electricity consumption. The way to a more sustainable future goes through smarter data centers and more intelligent and connected buildings.
