Back in October I introduced the idea of the Energy Efficiency Cool Wall to illustrate one of the problems with energy efficiency – the fact that it is generally a dull and boring subject. One element of growing the market for energy efficiency is to develop products and services that appeal to consumers – that are “cool”. Good examples include the NEST thermostat (before NEST who would have thought you could have a cool thermostat) and the Philips Hue lighting system.
Here is the video from the keynote speech at the Smart Building Conference.
