Project Title
Future Outlook for Residential Energy Management
Project Number ET11SCE4070 Organization SCE End-use Whole Building Sector Residential Project Year(s) 2011 - 2012Description
Conduct a market study, an adjunct to a main study, within SCE service territory to understand significant developments and trends in the Connected Home market by investigating consumer and manufacturers attitudes towards residential energy management in a connected home. A connected home can consist of distinct platforms or components that run independently within a home “ecosystem”. With the advancements in technology consumers will purchase and connect more and more devices in their homes to suit their practical needs. In the end, all devices or connections will constitute a building block infrastructure of a connected home.
