How metering, sensors and automated controls help homes and workplaces find and cut wasted energy, and where the savings are realistic and where they are not.
Demand response programs ask customers or their devices to use less power, or use it at a different time, when the grid is stressed. Here is how they work.
How smart meters, sub-metering and load monitoring give utilities and large energy users the detail needed to manage demand and find where power is wasted.
How presence data from motion, infrared and other sensors lets buildings stop heating and lighting empty rooms, and what can go wrong when sensing is poor.
How connected sensors and controls coordinate heating, cooling, lighting and occupancy data in commercial buildings, and what sustainability gains are realistic.
