Introduction

The Sustainable Smart Home Lab consists of a sampling of items that can be used in today’s home. Technology can be used to perform a number of functions that assist with everyday living. Heating and cooling systems, home security, lighting and kitchen appliances can be controlled with smart devices or with voice activated assistants.
