Smart Grid Energy Solutions

With Lutron residential smart grid solutions, homeowners are empowered to reduce their energy usage during peak demand periods, which saves them money and helps prevent blackouts or brownouts.

Residential Smart Grid Solutions

Decreased home energy use:

Because you’ll be able to see how much energy you’re using and when, you’ll be able to easily identify areas where you can modify your usage.

 
Increase grid reliability:

The demand response component of  smart grid enables a utility to decrease electricity demand during peak hours, rather than increasing the supply for electricity. And decreasing the demand for electricity leads to fewer blackouts.

Decreased carbon footprint:

Modifying your energy usage, coupled with the savings garnered when the Lutron smart grid solution responds to price changes and energy events, will mean a lower electricity bill.

Decreased carbon footprint:

TWhen you save energy you’re not only decreasing your carbon footprint, you’re also doing your part to lower CO2 emissions, which helps reduce global warming.

 

How Does Smart Grid Solutions Work?

The Lutron smart grid solution will offer direct control of lighting, HVAC, shades, and plug-in devices as well as control of third-party devices. The system will also display your real-time energy use and analyze trends to identify additional ways you can save energy.

Both you and the Lutron smart grid solution will receive messages sent to you from your utility about how much energy you’re using, when you’re using it, and how much it’s costing you — all in real time via a smart meter or server. The Lutron smart grid solution will automatically respond to price changes and energy events, such as times of peak demand, by cutting back on the amount of energy used by your lights, shades, HVAC, and certain appliances. That, in turn, will save you money.
