New Acronym for a New Reality
I am referring here to the new WWW for Works with WELL as opposed to the old www for World Wide Web. Sustainability is no doubt a major trend in our society, not only in lighting. Good news, several analyses and reports on new green building and renovation projects compared to standard construction practices show a higher ROI within a shorter time span. Utopia, no, they say, it’s real. LED revolution is over and connectivity and compliance are new trends to establish best practices. Learn about them and be part of them.
Good reading! |
