Energy Efficiency Award Winner

Cisco Systems

Projects completed by Cisco Systems in 2006 will cut energy use by over 14,000,000 kWh (3.6%) of electricity and 100,000 therms of natural gas annually, resulting in over $1,500,000 in cost savings. Cisco has made major upgrades at its San Jose campus, including installing VFD chillers in numerous buildings and upgrading HVAC controls. They also established an employee education program to encourage energy conservation and a campus wide recycling program that saves an estimated 35,000,000 kWh when compared to the energy required for landfill disposal and new product manufacturing. Combined, Cisco's 2006 projects will cut GHG emissions by over 40 million pounds.
