Is a Smart Home Really Smart Without Energy Management?

Speakers:

Co-Hosted By Carrier

A home filled with connected devices may appear smart, but without the ability to actively manage and optimize energy, it may be missing the very capability that will define the next generation of intelligent homes. As homeowners increasingly adopt batteries, solar, EVs, and connected devices, the next evolution of the smart home will be defined not by connectivity alone, but by the ability to intelligently manage and optimize energy. 

This webinar explores why behind-the-meter distributed energy resources (DERs), particularly battery storage and HVAC systems, are becoming foundational elements of the modern smart home. Attendees will learn how batteries serve as a major energy asset at the center of the home, why not all battery storage solutions are created equal, and how different storage technologies deliver different outcomes, from backup power and bill savings to sustainability and grid participation.

The session also examines the often-overlooked role of HVAC, the largest energy load in most homes, and how it can work alongside batteries, solar, and EVs to create a more resilient, efficient, and energy-intelligent home. Drawing on emerging trends in home energy management, this discussion will position the smart home as a future grid asset, where coordinated behind-the-meter resources can be aggregated into virtual power plants to deliver flexibility, resilience, and value beyond the individual home.
