Savant-Smart Living – May 2023 First Friday

How can we reduce energy usage in our homes and businesses?

Savant President J.C. Murphy will join the Cape Cod Technology Council on our First Friday in May to answer that question, discussing the underlying market factors driving opportunity for technology investment in residential and commercial buildings. He will also highlight recent government legislation that incentivizes homeowners and business owners to deploy smart building solutions that are focused on sustainability.

Founded in 2005 and based on Cape Cod, Savant harnesses technology to make homes and businesses smart, positively impacting entertainment, lighting, security, and environmental experiences.
