Energy Management Systems (EMS) are trending currently, and for good reason. Not only can you save money down the road, but going green is a movement that will keep guest returning.

Smart Technology

Connected homes are starting to become the norm. Consumers like to have the ability to control house functions at their fingertips and they anticipate doing the same when they travel.
