Energy-Conscious Luxury Homes and the Future of Smart Home Automation

Sustainable living is all about reducing our footprint on the Earth. It’s about making conscious choices that support the environment, reduce carbon emissions and minimize waste. A study by NielsenIQ revealed that a sustainable lifestyle is important to 78% of consumers in the U.S.

Like many things, looking at the big picture and the massive changes that need to be made can leave one paralyzed, believing small acts will mean little to the planet’s overall health and the environment. However, as Lao Tzu said, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.”

One of the steps many people are taking today toward a more sustainable lifestyle is smart home solutions. Here, we’ll uncover a few of the systems that support greener living and more eco-friendly homes in The Woodlands, TX.

Smart Home Technology

Creating energy-conscious luxury homes is no small feat. Today, one of the keys to successful implementation is the integration of automated technology. Home automation ensures efficient climate and energy control while utilizing products with long shelf lives focused on sustainability. The following represent a few of the many systems that make your home greener and, in the process, more efficient.

Motorized Shades & Climate Control

Motorized shades automatically adjust, lowering during the heat of the day when direct sunlight enters a room and rising in spaces that benefit from filtered sunlight. Integrated with intelligent thermostats and lighting, your smart home creates the perfect balance of natural and interior lighting while minimizing energy usage.

These systems also know when you leave home, turning off the lights and setting the temperature to eco-mode. When you pull into the driveway, they prepare the home for your arrival, adjusting the thermostat and turning on specific lights.

Energy Management Solutions

Today’s smart energy solutions include the use of solar power to create a greener home and reduce one’s reliability on the grid. When the sun is out, the energy produced is stored in batteries, enabling you to use it anytime. Integrated into the smart home ecosystem, you can effortlessly switch between each energy source, from solar to battery or the grid. Should a power outage occur, your smart home immediately shuts down non-essential devices and uses stored energy to keep essential devices up and running.
