Nov. 13, 2014: Survey Reveals Energy Management Awareness, Adoption Barriers
Fast Payback Models, Open Standards Solutions Needed
LOS ALTOS, Calif. — Daintree Networks Inc. and CoR Advisors® have released findings from their “State of Building Energy Management Survey,” distributed to building owners and managers, which indicated that a majority have no energy monitoring and reporting capabilities. The survey was conceived to gain insight into the state of the industry in terms of both awareness and application of today’s energy management technologies for smart buildings.
Daintree Networks CEO Danny Yu said, “The survey yielded some revelations of great value to the building energy control industry as a whole. Surprisingly, even with energy regulations in place, a large percentage of respondents have no energy management capabilities. This provides a clear market opportunity — one that can be pursued intelligently by understanding the survey’s findings on barriers to adoption, such as fast payback models. In addition, the survey validated Daintree’s belief that open standards-driven solutions such as ours enable facilities to future-proof smart buildings.”
