As NEEP seeks to advance efficiency as a key piece of demand-side resource management, home energy management systems (HEMS) continue to present a unique opportunity and challenge. While energy savings have been documented for many HEMS, some of the most promising opportunities from these devices and systems can be found in other energy-related benefits. In 2015, NEEP released a report showcasing the various different opportunities for HEMS. In this report, we take the research a step further to present market updates, a regional goal, and here-and-now strategies to drive market transformation and achieve the myriad benefits from HEMS and the Smart Energy Home.
