Low carbon connected home
Nowadays, residential buildings represent an important energy issue. Energy consumption depends on the performance of the building for heating, the quality of the equipment installed and the behavior of the occupants. The "Low Carbon Connected House" research laboratory at the EDF Lab les Renardières site enables EDF to innovate in order to develop low-carbon technologies that will equip the homes of the future.
