Parks Associates research has found that consumers are adopting energy-saving solutions that could be the foundation for future smart home services and the Internet of Things. For instance, in U.S. broadband households, 50% own a programmable thermostat, and 11% have a thermostat connects to the Internet; 20% own an electric or natural gas vehicle; and 20% own smart lighting or door lock equipment. The increase in energy efficiency is driven by new technology, affordability, and consumer demand.
This February, the Smart Energy Summit is bringing the biggest names in home controls and smart energy together, including keynotes from Nest, Comcast, Austin Energy, ecobee, and Lowe’s. The executive conference will highlight the growing consumer demand and business solutions for utilities, service providers, retailers, and manufacturers.
The fifth-annual Smart Energy Summit will be held February 17-19, at the Four Seasons Hotel in Austin, Texas.
