Ecosmart

Ecosmart refers to a system or service that has been designed to incorporate 'smarts' into its design to actively manage and reduce its impact on environment. This can be done using a mix of static and dynamic features. 


A static feature could be the use of high R insulation or a building orientation to maximize solar gain. A dynamic feature could be energy management that is aware of usage and how environmentally friendly a given energy source is compared to its usage. This could be as simple as lights that turn themselves off when nobody is in a room.

Ecosmart could also refer to the consideration of the whole life cycle of a given product, so it does not contribute to E-waste, is repairable and ultimately recyclable. 

Ecosmart design can also be applied to a whole building or structure, such as someone's house, using a variety of smart subsystems grouped together to create an automated environmental benefit.
