CES to Highlight Tech for Greening Homes

January 02, 2008

For now, smart homes are a small enough market that consumers with green motives might be able to give it a meaningful nudge. Parks Associates analyst Bill Ablondi estimates the market for home controls at roughly $3.5 billion in the U.S. in 2007, headed to $6 billion by 2012.

However, Ablondi believes many U.S. consumers find entertainment a bigger selling point, as home automation systems let people shuttle music and movies from the Internet all over the house.

From the article "CES to Highlight Tech for Greening Homes," by Brian Bergstein.
