The Ynventive™ software optimizes home energy sourcing and usage of your home's most energy-intensive appliances: HVAC modules, electric water heaters, lighting.  The system sits at the intersection of the home user, appliances, and utility companies. This enables the system to compute and balance household preferences and behaviors, monitor and predict the energy needs of devices, and shift energy loads to decrease consumption during peak demand or otherwise.  It is a semi-autonomous system, making certain decisions by itself, and for others provides relevant and contextually meaningful information with the lens of reducing energy usage in the home.
