[Akiba] I assume you need to pronounce "Sustainabil-IT" with a short 'I' and a long 'tee'. Otherwise it sounds kinda weird...[/Akiba] Cities and buildings are getting smarter by the day about managing energy, and the leading IT companies are more than happy to help. Cisco's new "Smart Connected Buildings" is the latest initiative that aims to create tools using IT technology (via IP, the internet networking protocol) to make buildings smart about energy. The company's Network Building Mediator will connect building management functions that were previously disjointed islands of their own, namely HVAC, lighting, security and renewable power systems.
