That\u2019s right, the home thermostat. And his company &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nest.com\/\">Nest Labs Inc.<\/a> (Nest) &#8211; has become one of the hottest startups in Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n<p>Thermostats have evolved over the years, and many companies now make programmable models that can adjust temperature settings throughout the day. That\u2019s good news: residential and commercial heating and cooling accounts for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.documents.dgs.ca.gov\/dgs\/pio\/facts\/LA%20workshop\/climate.pdf\">nearly 40% of all U.S. carbon emissions<\/a>. So improving the efficiency of heating and cooling is a critical piece of the climate puzzle and helps to lower electricity bills.<\/p>\n<p>But even today\u2019s \u201cmodern\u201d thermostats seem to miss the mark.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI bet your thermostat is ugly and impossible to program,\u201d Fadell writes on his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nest.com\/2011\/10\/24\/thermostats-yes-thermostats\/\">blog<\/a>. \u201cAnd I bet it drives you crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2791\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2791\" style=\"width: 215px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/38\/files\/2012\/06\/3-4-319_RE_clientlayers_newUI_cooling.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2791\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/38\/files\/2012\/06\/3-4-319_RE_clientlayers_newUI_cooling-300x269.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"215\" height=\"164\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2791\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Nest Labs Inc.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Nest Learning Thermostat looks like an old-fashioned circular thermostat that got a 21<sup>st<\/sup> century facelift. You can certainly see the design approach that produced the iPod and iPhone. But what\u2019s inside the Nest is more interesting: proximity sensors that know when you\u2019re home, software that learns your heating and cooling preferences and wireless technology that allows you to monitor and adjust it from a website or a smartphone.<\/p>\n<p>Nest says that few people use whatever programmable features their thermostats might have, and energy-conscious owners that adjust their thermostats manually (when they leave or arrive) make up to 1,500 adjustments a year. Nest\u2019s Learning Thermostat automates those adjustments and makes them a lot easier.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cWe threw out everything we know about regular thermostats and started from scratch,\u201d said Nest\u2019s director of corporate communications Kate Brinks. \u201cAnd we ended up with a product that\u2019s squarely focused on the user.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Nest estimates that 90% of us don\u2019t want to fiddle with the programming features of thermostats. So its device \u201clearns\u201d its owners preferences based on how the temperature is adjusted over a week or so, and then sets a schedule based on those preferences. Its proximity sensor can detect when the home is empty and when people arrive and build those patterns into its schedule.<\/p>\n<p>For users that DO want a firmly set schedule, the \u201clearning\u201d features can be turned off. And for the growing number of smartphone owners, the device can be securely monitored and adjusted from anywhere. Brinks says that 99% of installed Nest thermostats are running an energy-saving schedule.<\/p>\n<p>The smart grid, the Internet and wireless technology are creating a convergence of consumer electronics and energy.\u00a0More and more of our daily activity involves devices and systems that can now be connected. Making that potential relevant, easy and even enjoyable for people will determine whether these products go mainstream and make a real impact on our overall energy use.<\/p>\n<p>Nest says its Learning Thermostat is installed in every state in the US, has recently expanded into Canada and is now available at Lowe\u2019s, on Apple\u2019s online store and Amazon.com.<\/p>\n<p>As you\u2019d expect from a Silicon Valley tech start-up, Nest is mum on its plans for future products. \u201cWe\u2019re 100% focused on making the simplest, most user-oriented thermostat,\u201d said Brinks. But it\u2019s hard to imagine that the company doesn\u2019t have plans to reinvent a few other home-based products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Throughout 2012, EDF&#8217;s Energy Innovation Series will highlight more than 20 innovations across a broad range of energy categories, including smart grid and renewable energy technologies, energy efficiency financing, and progressive utilities, to name a few.
