Parks Associates is addressing the convergence of utilities, telecom, cable operators, security service providers, thermostat and appliance manufacturers in the connected home during a complimentary industry webcast, Utility Decisions on Home Energy Management, on Feb. 4, 2014. The research firm shows that nearly 40 percent of U.S. broadband households are interested in purchasing energy management products, but only 1 percent of U.S. households are interested in home energy management solutions alone.
The overwhelming majority of households are interested in energy management as part of a broader offering of smart home solutions. This webcast provides a firsthand account of the state of the market to help companies understand the competition and partnership opportunities.
Parks Associates will present new research and recommendations during the webcast, with participation from Lowe’s and Southern California Edison (SCE), and highlight key topics and focus of the upcoming Smart Energy Summit. Lowe’s is an event sponsor and is participating in multiple sessions throughout the event, including presenting the closing keynote on Wednesday, Feb. 18.
