Connected homes affect multiple sectors, requiring cross-sector partnerships and cooperation to achieve large-scale adoption. This session is intended to bring together key players --product manufacturers, utilities, software/data analytics and policy makers --for a discussion on the policy and market opportunities and challenges facing this industry. The purpose of the briefing is to educate and engage congressional staff on the work being done to increase adoption of connected homes, while also discussing policy solutions for advancing energy efficiency and technological innovation in the residential building sector.
