Create a Green Home with a Power Management System
The Combined Power of Home Automation and Energy Management Reduces a Home’s Carbon Footprint
With growing concerns for our environment, including climate change and carbon emissions, renewable and sustainable energy solutions have become increasingly important. One of the emerging areas of research and development is using renewable energy sources in smart homes through a power management system. These home energy management systems enable you to live a luxurious lifestyle while reducing your carbon footprint.
Let’s look at what these systems offer and how they’re reducing power consumption and increasing the use of green energy for homeowners in Park City, UT.

How Power Management and Smart Homes Work Together
Smart homes make life easier, more enjoyable, convenient, and secure. All of your IoT devices and systems connect to each other and to a home automation system. These systems require a robust home internet network and a reliable energy source.
A power management system generates onsite green energy via solar arrays. However, unlike solar energy, which is only available when the sun is out, these systems store excess energy in scalable battery storage systems, enabling you to use them on demand, night or day. AMT Integration also integrates technology that monitors and controls every circuit in your home. As a result, you can see how much energy is being used, what devices are using it, and shed loads during peak-rate periods, lowering your energy bill in the process.
An energy management system can even let you press one button to disconnect from the utility grid for total energy independence and manage your home with clean, reliable power. We’ll help you create an eco-friendly smart home by creating a system that enables you to see the available green energy production, control where and when you use it, and reduce your carbon footprint.
Reduce Energy Consumption
The greenest home is the one that uses less energy. A smart home helps reduce energy consumption by managing your lighting, climate, entertainment, security, and more with one-touch control and automated responses. For example, we can program the lights to turn off in unoccupied rooms and change throughout the day based on the amount of daylight entering your home.
In the summer, your motorized shades automatically lower on the west- and south-facing windows when direct sunlight starts streaming through, reducing the demand on your air conditioner. In the winter, diffused sunlight is welcome, and your shades rise to bring in the sun's warmth. When you leave for the day, tap the "Away" button on your in-wall keypad or touchscreen, and the lights turn off, the temperature adjusts, all audio-video equipment turns off, and the doors lock. Your entire home is managed effortlessly, with energy conservation a priority.
