NetScout and Competitive Energy Services Share Success Stories and Best Practices for Curbing Energy Use and Reducing Costs
WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May. 6, 2009--
NetScout
Systems today announced that on May 13, 2009, it will host an energy
summit for businesses and municipalities interested in reducing annual
energy expenditures and reducing power consumption. At the summit, local
organizations will speak, sharing best practices and strategies. The
event, organized in conjunction with Competitive
Energy Services (CES), takes place from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm at the
NetScout headquarters in Westford, Massachusetts and will feature
speakers from NetScout, Competitive Energy Services, BCM Controls
Corporation, Dell and National Grid.
The Energy Summit sessions are designed to teach participants how to be
smarter energy consumers and develop strategies that could result in
savings of up to 50 percent on energy costs for 2010. Speakers will
focus on various themes including strategies for reducing procurement
costs, options for reducing energy consumption now and in the future,
and opportunities for introducing renewable energy sources, such as
solar or wind, into an energy procurement strategy.
NetScout will share its progress working in tandem with CES in
developing and implementing strategies for energy procurement programs
that conserve power, reduce costs and advance towards the company’s
environmental goals. CES will explain how to reduce energy procurement
costs and will speak about energy opportunities available to businesses
including procurement of renewable energy credits, carbon offsets and
efficiency services.
Reducing costs and consumption on the energy demand side will also be
the focus of a few speakers, including BCM Controls and Dell. A key
session of the program will outline how NetScout, working with BCM was
able to re-engineer and integrate its heating, ventilation and air
conditioning (HVAC) control systems to act in concert. The NetScout HVAC
systems now operate considerably more efficiently, conserve energy and
reduce operating costs. Dell Computer will continue this theme by
sharing ways to green the data center – from introducing energy
efficiency and power management programs to enhancing recycling programs
and National Grid will outline incentive programs which are aimed at
encouraging businesses to choose more efficient options when undertaking
new construction, and making efficiency improvements to existing
buildings more affordable.
“The need for energy conservation makes sense on both business and
environmental levels, and NetScout is committed to saving resources and
reducing its environmental footprint. The company is working on several
initiatives that will help NetScout save energy, reduce carbon
emissions, and at the same time reduce operating costs,” said Tracy
Steele, vice president of manufacturing and business operations,
NetScout Systems. “By hosting the energy summit, NetScout is able to
team with the New England business community and learn from each other’s
successes.”
