On Friday, December 7, we hosted our third annual Home Energy Labeling Information eXchange (HELIX) Summit in Providence, Rhode Island. As we near the end of this three-year project funded by U.S. Department of Energy, HELIX turns towards future business plans and carving out its place in residential market transformation. This full-day event gave attendees the opportunity to hear about how the pilot project is going and what future plans are for this first-of-its-kind effort to automate the transfer of home energy data to Multiple Listing Services (MLS).

All presentations are now available as links in the agenda below.
