We are creating a human‐centered system that leverages pervasive 
sensor and communication technologies to achieve large‐scale energy savings

The Problems
11.. BBiilllliioonnss ffoorr “ssmmaarrtt” iinnffrraassttrruuccttuurree
• Smart meters, home area networks, 
transportation and other sensors
2. Energy efficiency is difficult
• Figuring out what to do and how to do it is 
difficult and boring
How can we address both of these issues? How can we 
lleverage smart inffrastructure to maximize energy 
savings?
The Solution
Quantification!
1. Provide diagnostics / personalized recommendations

3. Create the best programs with unprecedented speed, 
ease, cost, and scale – via objective evaluation of program
