In connection with climate change and rising energy prices, the discussion about improving energy efficiency has become paramount. In politics, business and other organizations, energy efficiency now has top priority. The goals are to save billions and to reduce CO² emissions by x-million tons per year. Insiders now use the term "Green IT". Furthermore, optimized cooperation between building services technology and IT offers enormous potential for improved energy efficiency. Recent discussions about performance-based energy usage, Smart Metering, and Smart Grid - the intelligent electricity network of the future - will also have effects on the smart home market.
