Cisco today announced Smart Connected Buildings as its latest emerging technology, a key component in delivering on its vision for Smart+Connected Communities, one of 30 key market adjacencies the company has identified. Smart+Connected Communities addresses the growing need for sustainable energy to meet the demand of increasingly urbanized populations by providing a network-enabled blueprint for successful smart cities of the future that run on networked information. The solution builds on Cisco’s networked sustainability platform to further utilize the network to increase energy efficiency, create new tools for ‘energy-aware’ city management, and enable economic opportunity and quality of life gains for citizens.
