Connected Homes
Energy management, home automation, and the connected experience: Perspectives from academia and industry
On 11 May Energy Futures Lab hosts an exploration of the research and business challenges for the future of ‘connected homes’.
Our speakers have been selected from both the Imperial research community and the industrial sector, bringing a range of perspectives on home energy management, automation, the digital experience, and data analytics.
Each presentation will be delivered ‘Pecha Kucha’ style, allowing for a swift examination of the rapidly developing technologies and systems for the connected home. Speakers will provide insights into their research interests and business challenges, before convening for a panel session chaired by Professor Tim Green, Director of Energy Futures Lab.
Attendees will have the opportunity to put questions to the panel, before networking over drinks from 17:30.

Venue
ACEX 554, is on the fifth floor of the ACE Extension, which is building 14 on the campus map. The quickest way there is to enter the college from the main entrance on Exhibition Road (near building 36). Head through the building, across the large courtyard and along the long walkway past a bank of very large screens on your right hand side. The entrance to the Chemical Engineering Department is on your right, head through the automatic doors up two short flights of stairs and take the lifts to the fifth floor.
