Custom Integrators are working to provide clients with the technology to monitor and control their home energy usage.
Custom control systems allow the consumer to control and monitor power usage to non-essential electronics as well as smart thermostats and occupancy sensors. Such systems can help reduce energy costs and environmental impact.
Vantage offers a variety of sensor technologies for occupancy and vacancy-based controls and is working on perfecting precise dimming of LEDS and accurate energy consumption capabilities in real-time.
Savant focuses on developing products that provide usage data to enable consumers to be more efficient. It also provides them with the tools to analyze that data and modify behavior toward improved efficiency without sacrificing comfort and lifestyle. Once the consumer has an understanding of their consumption trends in the home, they can then take action to become more efficient by leveraging their system to adjust lighting control, thermostats, window treatments, and other devices that impact energy usage.
"We’re working with utility companies across the country to help customers understand where they’re spending their money and encouraging them to act to reduce those expenses," says Leviton Manufacturing's director of security and automation.
Most custom integrators agree that the key to perfecting their technology in the eyes of the consumer is to provide efficiency without the sacrifices of personal comfort or lifestyle.
