Webinar Smart Thermostats: Engaging the Next Generation of Smart Energy Consumers March 2, 2017 11am PST/ 2pm EST 60 minutes Register for Webinar Members Free Non-members $199 Register for Webinar Utilities spend a lot of time on energy response programs. Finding incentives for customers to reduce their demand on energy when the demand for energy is highest, helps utilities just as much as it helps the consumer’s wallet. One product some utilities are offering customers is a programmable energy-saving tool, the smart thermostat. The smart thermostat allows customers to remotely control the temperature. The “smart” aspect of the technology kicks in as the tool also remembers customers’ temperature preferences, creates a custom schedule for the home, and turns itself down when everyone is away. Utility incentives for demand response support and energy efficiency provide a tangible incentive to customers while providing direct support to the grid during times of peak demand. Join SEPA, ComEd, and Nest in this webinar as they share their experiences with smart thermostats, and how this innovative, data-driven demand response tool has helped them engage the next generation of smart energy consumers.
