Smart homes and energy research
A National Renewable Energy Laboratory report draws on research led by Professor Amir in its discussion of laboratory homes for evaluating smart-home technologies. Bethany Sparn’s 2018 report, Laboratory Resources and Techniques to Evaluate Smart Home Technology, refers to Professor Amir’s review, The essence of future smart houses: From embedding ICT to adapting to sustainability principles.
The research-to-practice connection
The report describes NREL’s Systems Performance Laboratory and techniques for testing home energy-management systems. On printed page 2, it refers to the review alongside other sources when explaining how laboratory homes support the evaluation of smart-home technologies. Its reference list identifies the study on printed page 12.
Source access
The reference to Professor Amir’s review was verified in the indexed text of the official NREL report. The laboratory’s current publication record also identifies the report and provides its download link. The historical PDF download was intermittently unavailable during verification.
