MIDDLETON, MA, UNITED STATES, January 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE), the award-winning coalition of US and Canadian energy efficiency program administrators, announced the launch of the 2025 Integrated Home Competition today. The Integrated Home Competition seeks to identify and elevate products that advance the CEE Integrated Home Vision, wherein systems such as lighting, water heating, and HVAC all seamlessly communicate and optimize value for customers and the grid. The Competition is seeking innovative entries that deliver energy savings and load management capabilities while ensuring customer comfort and satisfaction.

According to manufacturer estimates, Integrated Home Competition winning technology can save approximately 30% on a home’s monthly utility bill relative to an average home, in addition to increased comfort and convenience for the residents.
