Program Opportunities in Connected Plug Load Devices

This project evaluates market-ready connected plug load devices for opportunities in plug load programs. Unlike previous approaches that focus only on the programmatic or technology side, the approach used in this study evaluates the intersectionality between technical capability and program focused performance. This study targets a program designer, implementer, or auditor and can be used to provide context in measure evaluation for residential connected plug load devices consistent with many “smart home" technologies.
