Here are the key steps in the controller set up flow:
1. Account info - Enter contact and utility account details
2. Home analysis - Controller analyzes home energy profile
3. Set first goal - User sets initial energy reduction target
4. Smart plug inventory - Controller detects smart plug devices
5. Interface tour - Assistant guides tour of controller interface
This allows the user to set up their account, understand their home's energy use, and get oriented to the controller interface in a guided onboarding process.
How to Add Value To Your Small Business with Effective BrandingVisible Logic, Inc.
An overview of what branding is and why branding is important. Explains how a strong brand can charge higher prices, attract better customers and clients and increase the value of the business. The presentation talks about why graphic design is at the heart of a strong brand identity, and the elements of an effective brand identity.
Kevin Settlemyre of IES, a unique energy modeling software organization, will discuss energy modeling, how it is changing the design and construction process, when it can be used most effectively, how to use it to reduce your carbon footprint, and how to use IES' Virtual Environment software. The roundtable is a unique opportunity to learn about an innovative energy modeling software program from an expert with a number of years' experience in green building and energy modeling. Literature will also be provided discussing ways that energy modeling can be used and different energy modeling software programs that can be used in high performance building.
Our agency routinely briefs team members on current consumer trends. Our sustainability briefing includes a brief history of the phenomenon, interdependent elements and how the work together, brands active in sustainability as well as examples of how it is impacting daily life.

Presentation on the efforts of the City of Minneapolis to track its greenhouse gas emissions, and take action to implement programs and policies to reduce those emissions.
What does energy efficiency matter? Energy efficiency is the single most cost-effective way of lowering greenhouse gas emissions and an essential component of any strategy to reach long-term emission reduction goals. It also boosts economic productivity, improves energy security, reduces expenditure on fuels and energy infrastructure, reduces air pollution and develops the energy services industry.
If Australia improved its energy efficiency by just an extra one per cent each year it would generate an additional $8 billion in GDP by 2020 and $26 billion by 2030. This is an important contribution to improving Australia’s productivity, as well as cutting our energy bills and carbon pollution.

Research to Inform Design of Residential Energy Use Behavior Change PilotUniversity of Minnesota
Presented by Ed Carroll and Mark Brown of Franklin Energy during Conservation Improvement Program (CIP) discussion hosted by the Minnesota Office of Energy Security on July 21st, 2009
Project submission for the World Energy Day 2018 Student Energy Innovation Challenge. This project on estimation saves 40% daily energy consumption in an average homestead consumption. The project works on remote control basis where on installation the system automatically takes note of power consumption within ones homestead or industry,checks in for best and worst performance in terms of electric power consumption.
It makes use of modern technologies like IOT(Internet Of Things) and sensor actuators, and is real time thus reducing inefficiencies during power consumption monitoring and assessment.

Urban sustainability: water & energy (Ideas from the Solar Decathlon 2017)Kit Rackley
A visit to the Solar Decathlon in Denver (2017) inspired me to put together some educational material. While it has a eastern UK (Anglia) focus and designed to fit with AQA's Geography GCSE (8035), it is very relevant for other scales and locales, and to many other Geography and Science syllabuses. Feel free to use and adapt with credit.
Many residential codes and ratings today are based on the goal of minimizing energy use. Some codes are going beyond simply minimizing though, so it’s important to be prepared. In this advanced session, our highly-informed and passionate panel will describe the cost-effective approaches they’ve developed to help single family builders achieve zero net energy (NZE) homes as painlessly as possible, and how you can, too, regardless of where in the country you are building.
A User Experience Model For Online Graduate Design EducationHumanCentered
Research and design development are reported on an improved and expansive model for graduate-level professional design education. The model proposes a comprehensive learning experience for blended groups of face-to-face and online learners. The current state of enterprise application software for online education was studied and followed by focused user research of online learners and graduate-level designers. A needs- clustering technique was employed to assess and group salient student needs. From these insights, design teams explored ways of coordinating and delivering a high quality learning experience to graduate designers.

The world is being changed fundamentally by AI and we are constantly faced with newspaper headlines about its harmful effects. However, there is also the potential to both ameliorate theses harms and use the new abilities of AI to transform society for the good. Can you make the difference?
You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.
