Residential Plug Loads and Controls: What's New, What's Next?

Ryan Kerr

Tuesday, August 19
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

A multi-disciplinary group of experts will discuss electricity feedback systems, new controls, automated load management and smart grid integration as a means to address plug loads and extraneous energy use. We have made great strides to reduce heating, cooling, water heating, and lighting energy use while plug loads (e.g. consumer electronics) are rising. Building science as usual is not enough; all are welcome to participate in a discussion aimed at today's solutions and tomorrow's innovations.
