A Purdue University research team recently received a $400,000 supplement from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to further its work on “Sociotechnical Systems to Enable Smart and Connected Energy-Aware Residential Communities.” This award builds on an initial $3.5 million award in 2018. The project leverages smart devices (wall-mounted tablets and Alexa, Amazon’s cloud-based voice service) and social games to engage residents in understanding and reducing their home energy use. The project’s most recent results will be presented at 11 a.m. Friday (9/9) and available for viewing online at the Climate Leadership Summit.
