Redwood Systems Opens Its Platform to Enable Third-Party Application Development
Redwood Systems has announced that it has opened its Building-Performance Lighting Platform to support the development of third-party energy efficiency and building intelligence applications. Several customers and partners have already created applications that enable them to better utilize conference rooms, display enhanced energy, and occupancy information in dashboards, and save additional energy by sending signals to the HVAC systems when no occupancy is detected.
“Creating an open and extensible platform for third-party development drives innovation and customer value,” said Dave Leonard, CEO and co-founder, Redwood Systems. “While this phenomenon has gained popularity in some business categories, it has yet to reach the lighting and building sector until now. Today we are providing the tools for others to create customized applications that save energy and improve the quality of the workplace.”
