Carrier, a leader in high-technology heat-
ing, air-conditioning and refrigeration
solutions, teamed with CEIVA Energy,
a utility-controlled home energy man-
agement system provider, to develop a
new way for homeowners to improve
energy efficiency. Carrier is a part of UTC
Building & Industrial Systems, a unit of
United Technologies Corp.
The partnership combines CEIVA's
HEMS with the Carrier® smart
ComfortChoice® Touch thermostat
to provide enhanced intelligence and
control for both utility companies and
homeowners. Using the integrated plat-
form, utility companies have the capa-
bility to adjust thermostat settings based
on outside temperatures, communicate
energy-efficiency and demand-response
programs to residential customers,
share real-time demand information
and encourage customer engagement
around energy use. At the same time,
residential customers can increase ener-
gy efficiency and reduce energy con-
sumption in the home by eliminating
wasteful heating and cooling. Customers
can monitor and control their home
energy usage through the user-friendly
thermostat and convenient mobile and
Web platforms.
National Grid, a utility based in
Worcester, Mass., will be the first utility
company to adopt Carrier and CEIVA's
integrated offering and roll it out to
