Obama's "Better Building Initiative"

Elisa Wood cites Silicon Valley company Daintree Networks as an example of a high-tech company that could benefit from the proposed "Better Building Initiative":

Daintree Networks provides "open platform, wireless technology for lighting controls ... lighting controls increase efficiency by automatically shutting off or dimming unneeded lights. The controls are often used in conjunction with occupancy sensors. The sensor detects when people empty a room and signal to the control system to turn off the lights."

According to Elisa Wood, "with controls in only about 7% of commercial buildings, the market potential is large for innovators like Daintree Networks."
