Smart Cities – Echelon

This video is a commercial from Echelon where they talk about smart cities.

“A complete smart city is one in which there is an invisible network of devices that are smart, they can communicate. And each of these devices can control themselves.”
-Bea Yormark. President and COO, Echelon

“Buildings are the major user of electrical energy. 65% of the electricity is used in buildings.
Just taking building control system and the devices in buildings and making them energy aware and making them intelligent and communicating will reducing the energy by 20-30%. The cost is very little, it will pay for itself very quickly. Echelon makes this open technology and the metering infrastructure but we don’t deliver in use products. We depend on thousands of companies to do that.”
-Ken Oshman. Chairman and CEO, Echelon
