Green and sustainability efforts are much more complex than just harvesting daylight and dimming lighting levels. Managing and controlling ambient lighting is only one small piece of the puzzle. Meaningful reductions in energy usage and utility costs can only be achieved by integrating all building systems on a single, intelligent management platform.
Integrating by design unifies all energy consuming systems including HVAC, lighting, shades, AV, voice & data, security, room scheduling & more. Manage it centrally, globally, and easily.

In a recent survey, economists looked at the resale value of over 1 million single-family homes in California. The time frame was from 2007 – 2012. These researchers found that homes with green technology invested in them had a higher resale value than homes without green technology. On average these green homes sold for 9% more than comparable homes without green technology. This turned out to be about $40,000 on average for these green technology infused homes. In other surveys, homes with green technology sold much faster on the market than homes without. The quickness of sale and higher resale value alone makes green technology an exciting proposition.
Using different home automation systems can be an excellent way to save money and lower energy costs for any home. 
There are numerous excellent energy-saving strategies, many of which involve green technology, and they’re all a nice addition.
