Making Your Home Energy Efficient Through
In addition to programmable thermostats, which regulate home’s temperature to maximize energy efficiency, there’s a new concept in heating called zone control. Zone control involves the use of multiple thermostats that allows a heating system to distribute the heat only where it is needed.
The heating, ventilation and air conditioning system (HVAC) isn’t the only thing that a home automation system will control in order to run your home in an energy efficient manner. There’s also the question of lighting.
With automated lighting, you can set the lights to turn on or off at predetermined times, control brightness and even turn off automatically when people leave the room. This can result in a major reduction to your monthly utility bill!
