Establishing Common Understanding for HEMS in Efficiency Programs

This document is designed help establish some common criteria and understanding for Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) and Technologies being integrated into efficiency programs. Specifically, what we put forward is meant to assist program administrators, who are providing program funding towards HEMS, and HEMS vendors, who are receiving payment for their products, to be able to start discussions and reach agreements more easily, ultimately increasing HEMS adoption.
