The Building Performance Association (BPA) has just released a new report, The Home Technology Revolution: Leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Remote Diagnostics to Drive Residential Energy Savings. Based on a multi-part study, this report examines how AI and remote diagnostics can:

• Support small HVAC contractor businesses
• Reduce energy program administrative costs
• Identify emerging AI use cases in the residential energy sector
• Promote domestic energy resources through improved grid-edge capabilities

Successful integration of AI and smart-home systems has the potential to significantly reduce consumer energy costs while maintaining consumer choice for both appliances and fuel sources.  

Key report takeaways include:

• AI tools, remote diagnostics, and smart technology are becoming increasingly commonplace in home performance.  
• AI and smart technology present an opportunity to reshape the residential energy industry as it exists today.  
• AI has the potential to streamline state energy office and utility program administration, improve contractor business operations, and promote demand flexibility, ultimately promoting U.S. energy dominance and a more resilient grid.
