Cleantech Insights – Let’s Make Dumb Buildings Smarter

Posted May 26th 2011

The most promising renewable energy sources are not actually energy sources. Instead, I believe ‘negawatts’ or opportunities to save energy by making our buildings, factories, and homes more efficient are the best path toward reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. While attractive energy efficiency opportunities are plentiful, I’m most inspired by the ways we can make ‘dumb buildings’ smarter and more efficient.
