SAN FRANCISCO, September 22, 2011 – Today, Adura Technologies, a leading wireless lighting controls company, announced that the company was chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the GoingGreen Global 200 winners. Inclusion in the GoingGreen Global 200 signifies leadership amongst its peers and game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to disrupt existing markets and entrenched players. Adura was specially selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team and industry experts spanning the globe based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz.
Adura Technologies and the GoingGreen Global 200 companies will be honored at AlwaysOn’s GoingGreen Silicon Valley event on September 27th, 2011, at San Francisco City Hall in San Francisco, CA. The GoingGreen Global 200 winners were selected from among thousands of domestic and international greentech technology companies nominated by investors, bankers, journalists, and greentech industry insiders. The AlwaysOn editorial team conducted a rigorous three-month selection process to finalize the 2011 list.
“We are thrilled that wireless lighting controls, and Adura’s award-winning system in particular, are being recognized as the advanced energy savings solution that they are,” said CEO of Adura Technologies Mark Golan. “Creating smarter buildings will continue to be a key component of the green technology innovation playing field, and we greatly appreciate the recognition of Adura’s leading role in this space.”
Lighting and HVAC are the top two energy users in most commercial buildings, typically representing 60 percent or more of the total energy use. Adura’s wireless management platform addresses both energy uses and could result in savings of up to 70 percent. It can also relieve strain on the electrical grid during periods of high use – a key goal of Smart Grid implementation.
A full list of all the GoingGreen Global 200 winners can be found on the AlwaysOn website.
