Smart Home Test Shows 88% Reduction In Household Power Consumption Buildings Published on August 7th, 2012 | by Charis Michelsen Osaka Gas and Sekisui House have been cooperating in an experimental project for the past year and a half to answer the burning question “Yes, but how well does it actually work?” I speak, of course, of the rising trend of smart homes and communities. The partnership between Osaka Gas and Sekisui House (two well-known names in Japan) started back in February 2011, with the Smart Energy House project. On Practical Evaluations and Multi-Type Battery Systems The first step was building and equipping the house – with a 700W natural gas fuel cell, a 5.08kW solar cell, and 3.5kWh lithium ion batteries. The second step was to stick a three-person family in the house and watch them for a year (it’s less creepy than it sounds). Just the Facts, Ma’am – Analyzing Results According to the partnership’s numbers, power consumption was reduced by 88%. The current project schedule calls for these houses to go on the market in 2015.

Smart Homes, Smart Cities Markets To Double By 2017 Buildings Published on April 15th, 2013 | by Zachary Shahan April 15th, 2013 by Zachary Shahan The world’s population is still growing fast, and our cities are absorbing the majority of that growth. Naturally, rapid urbanization comes with a variety of challenges and problems. What we might call a “movement” to address those is the instilling of higher “intelligence” in urban systems and processes. “This means digitalization of the present systems, so that they can sense, analyze and integrate data for them to respond intelligently to the needs of their jurisdictions, thus making them smarter and more efficient,” GBI Research writes in a new report, Smart Cities Market to 2017*. The report has all sorts of details on GBI Research’s projections for the smart cities market as a whole up through 2017, as well as specific components of it. Some of the components that we discuss the most on CleanTechnica are smart grids, smart homes, and smart buildings. About the Author
