The integrated home is grid-interactive and efficient. Connected technologies and communicating capabilities have potential to optimize home performance through individual products and systems to drive improved energy management. Such improved energy management may come through a combination of energy efficiency, load management including demand response, and consumer behavior.
In practical terms, the integrated home is a comprehensive portfolio of residential initiatives bundled together to deliver efficiency, grid, program, and customer benefits beyond those that can be achieved individually. The suite of product specifications with connected criteria delivers a consistent value promise contingent upon individual end measures working together effectively to enable added benefits. The integrated home relies on the interaction, interoperability, and interactive effects between chosen products and systems. It may also leverage interactions with the user, through selection of preferences or settings, learning algorithms, or prompting consumer behavior.

In addition to these efforts to define performance and connectivity attributes valued by a majority of members, CEE has also continued to support member efforts to save energy in the largest remaining opportunities in the residential sector, as highlighted below.
