Savant Smart Budget

IHC-BADGES-2024-RGB_Winner-Color

Judge’s Remarks:

"Judges were impressed by the Savant platform’s unique benefits, including the ability to manage and control circuits to avoid panel upgrades, time-of-use, and load management capabilities. They liked that it could be used in elegant retrofit scenarios that allow for load control at the breaker level, rather than the individual device level. They remarked that the value proposition on the utility side is massive."


Description:

Savant Smart Budget is the smart alternative to an electrical service upgrade where homeowners can use their existing electrical service but decide what elements of the home they're powering at any given time. By installing Savant Power Modules in the home’s existing electrical panel, homeowners can manage power efficiently for their essentials while introducing new appliances, heat pumps, EV Chargers, and more. The homeowner might not need everything powered around the clock, and this is what makes room for them to add an EV charger or heat pump and be able to direct their available power where they need it most. Savant’s Smart Budget feature prioritizes how power is used in the home by monitoring live consumption, shedding unnecessary loads, and balancing usage within a limited electrical service. This powerful solution starts at a modest $1499 and can scale to monitor and manage any or all circuits in the home.

Savant Load Management, featuring Smart Budget, can be deployed across a utility’s service region to support electrification, mitigate service upgrades and manage demand at the home level.

HAVEN IAQ

HAVEN Central Air Monitor and Controller

IHC-BADGES-2024-RGB_Winner-Color

Judge’s Remarks:

"Judges were very excited about the educational aspect of this product, as well as its simple data and control options. While there are other air quality monitors on the market, the HAVEN Central Air Monitor and Controller are uniquely able to respond to changes in air quality by activating HVAC equipment on demand."


Description:

The HAVEN air quality Monitor detects pollutants including Particulate Matter (PM2.5), airborne chemicals (tVOCs), and relative humidity – across the whole home, from the existing central air system. The accompanying Controller can then automate the home’s equipment to respond to the issues found, such as:

1. Activating the blower fan if high particle levels are detected, to improve filtration

2. Triggering mechanical ventilation equipment or outdoor dampers if tVOCs rise above healthy levels, diluting the concentration

3. Automating humidifiers/dehumidifiers when relative humidity levels fall outside of the EPA recommended range.

Both devices are brand-agnostic, and can be integrated with existing HVAC equipment. The automations are flexible and editable, and ensure that HVAC energy usage (often the highest energy load of a home) is optimized to run equipment only when needed for the ideal balance between human health and energy efficiency.

With remote automation controls and an interactive dashboard showing the IAQ profile from each install, the HAVEN Pro Portal is the ultimate tool for HVAC Professionals to provide industry-leading clean air services, whilst the HAVEN IAQ App provides homeowners with their air quality scores and updates, for clean air peace of mind.

IHC-FINAL-BADGES-2023-HM_(2).png

Judge’s Remarks:

"The Rheem® ProTerra® Plug-in Heat Pump Water Heater is an exciting integrated 120V option for customers looking to adopt heat pump water heaters."


Description:

ProTerra Plug-in Units are a Sustainable Replacement for Traditional Gas Water heaters.

Rheem created an innovative solution to reduce carbon emissions and energy use on a scale like LED lightbulbs, with the groundbreaking solution, ProTerra® Plug-in. The units are Energy Star® certified, compliant with regulations and remove the need/cost to upgrade electrical panels for 240V hardwired service (i.e., minimal to no electrical work).

ProTerra 120V Plug-in makes for an easy gas water heater replacement by eliminating the need for installing hardwired 240V electrical service and panel upgrades. With minimal clearance requirements and ability to fit in a standard tank footprint, the units provide a quick, easy installation for plumbing contractors. For homeowners, EcoNet® Wi-Fi controls allow for convenient operation and monitoring of the unit, including adjusting water temperature and tracking energy usage from the ease of a smart phone. LeakGuard™ Auto Shut-off Valve shuts off the flow of water in the unlikely event a leak is detected, providing users peace of mind.

The development of Rheem’s plug-in heat pump water heater (HPWH) technology began in 2019 with the Roadmap to Decarbonize California’s Buildings, which included plans to replace gas-burning appliances with electric versions (CA Title 20). In many cities, HPWH are the only option for new construction and replacement where gas bans and efficiency requirements eliminate other options.

With 7 million water heaters being replaced a year, Rheem created the ProTerra Plug-in, a first of its kind water heater that provides a game-changing plug-in, ready-to-use water heating option for homeowners looking to replace a traditional gas appliance with high efficiency performance.

Automate® Motorized Roller Shades

IHC-FINAL-BADGE-SpecialRecog-3

Judge’s Remarks:

"The combination of solar and rechargeable components for the motorization is unique for interior applications and is very compelling for retrofit applications, as you can avoid hard wiring and battery changes."


Description:

Automate® motorized roller shades provide energy savings potential by allowing a user to adjust shades in their home or business, to lower heating, air conditioning and artificial lighting usage. Integrating motorized shades with lighting and HVAC systems provide the opportunity to save money in the winter by allowing as much natural light into your home during sunny times of the day, and keeping shades closed and warm air in during other times. In summer months, closed shades help block sun light and reduce air conditioning costs.

Description:

Hilo is much more than just a smart home service. The Hydro-Québec subsidiary offers a solution designed to enable its customers to consume and manage their energy use more intelligently during peak demand periods. As the first virtual power plant in Quebec, Hilo orchestrates its customers’ energy requirements in order to free up electrical capacity to respond to the needs of the grid. Each customer thereby contributes to reducing future energy needs, which liberates energy to be used instead for the electrification of transportation, avoids or delays the need to invest in development of the power grid and reduces the use of less clean forms of energy during winter. It’s win-win for everyone!

From thermostats to switches to smart plugs, Hilo offers a range of connected products for managing homes more efficiently through a single mobile application, even when customers aren’t at home. Plus, the Hilo solution is compatible with the voice assistants Google Assistant and Alexa from Amazon.

Hilo is also about challenges. Each winter, it offers customers up to 30 challenges during peak periods. The idea is for customers to accept a reduction in the temperature of their homes and their overall energy consumption for a few hours. Since challenges are handled automatically, nothing could be easier! For each successful challenge, Hilo customers receive cash rewards.

Since the spring of 2022, Hilo has also offered simple, reliable technological solutions to businesses looking to automate and manage their buildings’ energy requirements. Other products and services will be added in the future, particularly in the areas of electric transportation, smart storage and self-generated solar.

IHC-FINAL-BADGES-2023-HM

Judge’s Remarks:

"The Voltex® AL Smart Electric Hybrid Heat Pump Water Heater is a high-efficiency heat pump water heater with quiet operation, built-in ducting, and connectivity designed for utility programs."

That means that for roughly every $1 of energy you pay, you’ll get $4 of hot water.

Voltex® AL is equipped with iCOMM™ technology to support new connected anti-leak technology, including integrated leak detection and an industry-first smart anode to extend the life of the product, along with built-in demand response intelligence. Using the A. O. Smith app, homeowners and professionals can remotely manage the water heater to improve performance and increase savings, including monitoring schedules and energy usage, as well as adjusting temperature levels and four programmable operating modes. For added peace of mind, the smart sensor alerts homeowners immediately through the app if a leak is detected, and an optional shutoff valve accessory can be added. For installation flexibility, it features industry exclusive top/side water connections, zero-clearance required on sides and back to fit into smaller spaces, and integrated ducting adapters.

Available in 50-gallon, 66-gallon and 80-gallon models nationwide through professional plumbing contractors.
