The Network Effect
The Network Effect is bringing the collective power of customers, employees and technology together to make an extraordinary impact on the environment. It’s the effect of millions of people adopting behaviors such as switching to paperless billing, using broadband technology to download digital music instead of buying a CD, working from home instead of driving to work, videoconferencing instead of flying.Smart building systems harness the network effect by connecting every building in your footprint, regardless of the installed systems. By providing remote and integrated monitoring and control that reduces your energy usage. By telling you how your buildings perform against each other and other companies’ buildings. They let you control how they react to changing conditions, and act on their own where appropriate. They alert you when you could be saving energy, and when your actions cost you more. They tell you how much energy you will use tomorrow so you can adjust your usage. And they leverage cloud computing and fiber networks which also lower your bills.Join The Network Effect.
