Next Generation Home Energy Management Systems
The current Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) market was valued at $1.5 billion in 2013, and includes utility residential demand response (DR), connected home subscriptions, software services and associated hardware. The top two leading home automation companies combined already have over 2 million customers, demonstrating the HEMS market’s remarkable potential. New companies have entered the arena, hungry for the next set of opportunities revolving around software and bundled service solutions, and the market has expanded in its scope of offerings.
Already energy efficient systems for houses are beginning to become smarter. Combining energy monitoring and management with an area network and home control will surely increase efficiencies. The North American Region is expected to be the prime market for Home Energy Management Systems in terms of revenue contribution.
Home Energy Management: Improving the Quality of Life with Increased Efficiency, Reduced Costs and Overall Customer Satisfaction in Sacramento, CA, August 6-8 2014 will explore the continued desire among customers to reduce bills, regulatory mandates for greater efficiency, wider use of variable pricing schemes, and a strong green sentiment helping drive HEMS adoption forward. Attendees can also expect to explore new HEMS product offerings and technologies that are more desirable for customers and cost effective ways to acquire them.
Featuring an Exclusive Tour of the Honda Smart Home
Discover the living laboratory unveiling the latest in HEMS technology innovations
Unveiled in March, Honda Smart Home is an advanced zero net energy residence located on the West Village campus of the University of California, Davis. The home is capable of producing enough electricity on-site from renewable sources annually to meet all its electricity needs, including enough energy to power a Honda Fit EV for daily commuting.
Electricity generated from a 9.5kW solar photovoltaic (PV) array mounted on the roof is intelligently distributed throughout the home’s microgrid by a home energy management system (HEMS) developed and deployed in this project for the first time. Honda’s HEMS monitors, controls and optimizes electrical generation and consumption, while automatically responding to demand response signals and providing other services that improve grid reliability.
In the ground beneath Honda Smart Home’s backyard, eight 20-foot deep boreholes allow ground-source heat pump to harness the earth’s relatively stable thermal sink to provide radiant heating and cooling through the home’s floors and ceiling. The LED lighting used exclusively throughout home is not only five times more energy-efficient than conventional lighting; it is also designed to support the health and wellness of the home’s occupants by emitting hues throughout the day that support the body’s circadian rhythms.
The project achieves more than 11 tons of CO2 reduction per year relative to a conventional home and vehicle, and surpasses California’s 2020 target for zero net energy residential construction. In addition to showcasing Honda’s vision for sustainable, zero-carbon living and personal mobility, the home will function as a living laboratory where the company, along with researchers from UC Davis and Pacific Gas and Electric, will evaluate new technologies and business opportunities at the intersection of transportation, energy and the environment.
