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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
