NREL developed foresee™ to achieve users' preferences while simplifying the coordination of when and how a home's connected appliances and electronics use energy. This reduces complexity and improves the consistency and diversity of whole-home outcomes. These include enhanced comfort, convenience, reduced costs, and lower environmental impact based on input from the homeowner. The software accounts for time-of-use rates and is compatible with smart products from any manufacturer.
