This is the first in our series of articles surrounding Energy Following the Productive User. When your devices only consume energy when they're needed, your company's bottom line wins.
Companies around the world have found Video Conferencing to be an excellent tool for reducing the costs and environmental impact of traveling to conduct business while maintaining the Face to Face connections needed to do business in today’s global economy. Between the reductions in cost, environmental impact, and productive employee time lost to travel (airport waiting, in flight time, drive time), large businesses believe they’re getting a bargain by investing in Video Conferencing room setups.
While reducing the number of flights, cab rides, and over the road driving is better for the corporate bottom line, the addition of energy intensive Video Conferencing devices have erased some of those gains in the form of higher energy bills and carbon emissions.
Since most video conferencing rooms are powered up at all times, JouleX believes that these companies can realize even more cost savings (and reduction in carbon emissions). By using JouleX Energy Manager (JEM) for Distributed Offices, Video Conferencing equipment can be power managed in a number of ways.
PoE Devices: Video Conferencing devices that are powered over Ethernet can be powered up or down based on calendar events (scheduled meetings), saving money in power and equipment degeneration.
Other Network Connected Devices: While not all video conferencing equipment is powered over Ethernet, all devices connected to your network can be managed through JEM.
Companies who take this a step further and use JEM to manage Conference Bridge Servers will enjoy an even further reduction in energy consumption, associated costs, and carbon emissions. Combining all of these solutions means that your video conferencing equipment is as efficient as the rest of your sustainability initiatives.
