The increased adoption of energy technologies like smart meters, solar panels, and battery storage has led to a rise in electricity pricing plans with costs
To help reduce electricity consumption and its costs, university and NIST researchers proposed a strategy for controlling residential heating, ventilation, and
NIST researchers and collaborators recently published the paper, A Framework for the Composition of Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS)
Achieving national goals of net zero energy buildings requires substantial reduction in the energy consumption of commercial building systems. Although
Developing a next generation "smart grid" requires new measurement science and industry standards that enable homes and buildings to interact with the grid. In
Improved industry standards and better information about the practical implications of integrating historically separate building automation systems are needed
