2025 Integrated Home Competition entries were evaluated by a panel of judges with expertise in energy efficiency program administration, usability, interoperability, and technology performance. Finalists remotely demonstrated their products’ energy efficiency, load flexibility, and interoperability capabilities, in addition to their operation and user interfaces.
John Taylor, CEE Executive Director, shared his enthusiasm for the 2025 award recipients, stating that these efficient, connected products “help reduce energy cost burdens for consumers while meeting comfort expectations.” He explained that the smart capabilities of products awarded by the Competition “play a critical role in improving grid and gas system reliability” for CEE members, which include U.S. and Canadian natural gas and electric energy efficiency program administrators.
Award recipients were invited to speak to the CEE membership at the annual CEE Industry Partners Meeting. The awarded products will be showcased on the Integrated Home Competition website, at relevant trade shows, and promoted by select CEE member energy efficiency program administrators through local offerings.
