Glumac Decreases Energy Consumption, Improves Reliability and Reduces Costs with Cloud Services
PRLog - April 22, 2015 - WAYNE, Pa. -- Today Evolve IP announced that Glumac, a full-service engineering consulting firm specializing in sustainable building design, has replaced its legacy phone systems, call centers and networks with the Evolve IP OneCloud solution across 10 locations nationwide. In implementing Evolve IP’s cloud technologies, and eliminating additional networks, Glumac has saved money, energy and simplified vendor and system management.
Glumac’s new 17,500-square-foot office, using Evolve IP’s cloud services, is the first registered Living Building Challenge (LBC) Petal Certification net-zero energy tenant improvement project in the country. Registered under LBC 2.1, Glumac is using reclaim strategies to recover waste heat from a data center within the Aon Center. So much of the waste heat is reclaimed and reused throughout the year that it offsets the total energy use of the entire hyper-efficient Glumac office.
“We designed the LA office with innovative building features, including unique lighting and climate controls that reduce energy consumption. Evolve IP provides business-critical services so that we can manage all of these systems more efficiently,” explained Robert Maheu, Glumac’s Corporate IT Manager. “Evolve IP provides us with secure, easy, remote access to the system from anywhere so we can continuously adjust lighting and temperature for the greatest environmental sustainability. Evolve IP’s expert network management ensures that these systems talk to each other reliably and report back to HQ the vital data we need to optimize energy use in the new space.”
Maheu continued, “It’s unusual to work with a provider that brings expert consultative services beyond their product offering, but Evolve IP evaluated our situation and provided us with an extremely efficient solution. They have consolidated our technologies and network and now deliver energy-saving voice and security services in the cloud to fully maximize performance. We’ve saved money and energy with Evolve – an ideal combination of benefits.”
“We’re very excited to be working with a pioneering engineering firm that shares our passion for the environment and vision for the future,” says Scott Kinka, CTO of Evolve IP. “The Evolve IP OneCloud solution allows firms to take multiple services that consume energy and costs, like data centers and PBX, and move them to the cloud. This not only reduces an organization's expenses, it improves reliability and provides increased flexibility for IT departments.”
