Cisco Network Building Mediator

For most of residential consumers an opportunity to trace data on energy consumption in real time and on the basis of these data to undertake the necessary measures for ensuring cost and environmental efficiency — the idea rather new. On the other hand, owners and operating organizations of buildings of commercial appointment already have experience of use of such solutions as Cisco Network Building Mediator which help to control use of energy in buildings and to manage it.

Anyway, it became even simpler to regulate energy consumption and the related costs. Instead of managing energy consumption in each building separately, now corporate customers can control directly all complex of buildings, using for this purpose the solution Cisco Network Building Mediator Manager.

On the basis of Cisco Network Building Mediator and Cisco Network Building Mediator Manager it is possible to build the "smart" platform, used for centralized operation by geographically dispersed buildings on IP network and for implementation of communication between them. Such system allows to increase considerably operational efficiency of management of the distributed buildings.

The Cisco Network Building Mediator Manager device performs monitoring and coordination of the most different systems: from heating systems, ventilation and air conditioning (OVKV) before photovoltaic installations, lighting systems, power meters, the systems of wind and solar energy, fuel elements, the irrigating systems and many other. Besides, are a part of this solution the global navigator allowing to monitor in real time how all premises and devices (for example, on the level of power efficiency of conditioners or a ratio of kilowatts per square meter) in scales of the whole enterprise and also the global alarm system for centralized operation work with events.

Cisco Network Building Mediator Manager works without breaks seven days a week and can react to events in real time. Such system allows to customize continuously a set of systems in the building that they functioned most effectively in terms of energy consumption and considered the current environmental conditions. In it Richards sees a key to sustainable development.

The solutions Cisco Network Building Mediator and Building Mediator Manager form open structure which provides complete mutually pluggability and organically integrates clean technologies, IT resources and resources of systems for buildings. This structure exercises integrated management by the building through network: from the most elementary sensor in the cellar of the building to cloud services and back.
