Creating a Greener Home Through Smart Technology
According to the Westchester County, NY, Office of Energy Conservation and Sustainability, climate change poses an immediate and direct threat to county residents. Some of the effects include extreme heat, rising sea levels, and increased flooding, all of which would significantly impact the Hudson River Valley. Large portions of the valley could be unlivable by the end of the century.
In light of this threat, the county and the individual cities, towns, and villages within its boundaries are making a concerted effort to reduce carbon emissions and build a sustainable infrastructure, creating communities that endure for centuries to come.
One way homeowners are taking an active role is by creating greener homes that use less energy through a home automation system. When integrated into the many subsystems of your home, these systems provide maximum efficiency, creating an environment that uses less energy while enjoying unprecedented ease and beauty.
Here, we’ll explore how living in a smart home supports a sustainable environment and maximum efficiency.
