13% of U.S. households will have energy management network by 2015 forecasted by Parks Associates
Remote access and control via broadband are expanding opportunities for energy management systems and services, with lighting controls, programmable thermostats, and self-monitoring systems each exceeding $1 billion in U.S. revenues by 2015, Parks Associates forecasts. T
These broadband-connected systems, combined with consumer interest in energy savings, will open opportunities outside the utility industry for manufacturers and service providers. One-third of consumers in broadband households find remote control of lights, appliances and thermostats via Web-enabled devices very appealing. Nearly 50% find email/text notification of smoke, fire, water, or gas leaks very appealing.
