May 21, 2007
Framingham, MA - Lucid Design Group is featured in an Electronic House magazine article titled "Electronics and Environment Coexist in EcoManor." The article discusses the role of Lucid's Building Dashboard® system in monitoring and displaying the performance of EcoManor's green technologies and how it integrates with the Crestron home automation system. From the article:
"A Crestron home control system is used with an innovative Building Dashboard® from Lucid Design Group that shows on a wall-mounted Crestron touchpanel how much, in dollars and cents, is being saved by using solar panels to produce electricity and geothermal energy to heat and cool the house . . . The savings are based on standard energy usage calculations. Local utility Georgia Power buys back the electricity produced by the solar panels, so the savings can be displayed on the Crestron screen via the Building Dashboard®."
