Heating and cooling your home accounts for about 50% of the total energy bill of a typical American household. How could we say no to a device that can reduce usage, spending and emissions?

New Yorker’s, for example, have 4 seasons to go through and adjust our homes accordingly. The Nest will take notice as you change your habits from season to season and the device will adapt with you. It will figure out when you are out of the house or aren’t occupying certain rooms and adjust the temperature accordingly, making it slightly cooler or warmer; whichever you like. It will begin to program itself without consumer behavior. For instance, if you want the temperature at 75 at night and the air conditioning off during the day, the Nest will pre-set those changes for you. You can change what you don’t like and learns and changes along with how your behavior changes. The best part? It can be regulated from your smartphone.

If you’re really interested on just how much energy you’re using, Nest continually collects data and will generate and send you a free report on your monthly usage. The device can save you as little as 5% to as much as 60% in energy, regardless of your geographic location. It is designed to be user friendly and help you make the most intelligent use of your energy.
