Smart Thermostat Adoption Stalls; Owners Happy With Energy Savings: Parks

Despite stalled smart thermostat adoption in the U.S., device owners report saving $49 a month on electricity as a result of using a smart thermostat, and over 90% are satisfied with the energy savings, said Parks Associates Wednesday. Parks plans a virtual session on the state of residential energy management Thursday starting at noon EDT. Topics include consumer adoption and engagement and new partnerships aimed at advancing demand response programs, it said.
