The home energy management market continues to grow. Last week, the ABB ReliaHome Smart Panel – ABB’s first residential energy management software platform — launched commercially in the U.S. and Canada. The ABB ReliaHome Smart Panel comes via collaboration with Lumin, a specialist in responsive load management, and it enables energy optimization, circuit scheduling, and real-time control in one universally compatible package.
Residential energy consumption accounts for approximately 20% of the U.S. total energy use. ABB’s ReliaHome Smart Panel aims to play a crucial role in empowering homeowners to participate in the transition to an electrified, low-carbon future.
