In a world of evolving priorities and rapidly changing investment landscapes, three letters have ignited discussions that resonate far beyond the financial realm: ESG. Environmental, Social, and Governance is a trifecta of influence shaping how businesses get scrutinized, evaluated, and ultimately endorsed.  ESG has grown into a juggernaut of consideration, designed ostensibly to gauge a company's commitment to the planet, its people, and its principles. However, as the spotlight has intensified, so have the debates surrounding its genuine impact.  I'm Marla, the Green Home Coach, here to guide you in navigating the labyrinth of ESG with fresh insight and an open mind! I am delighted to have Tony Pratte of the Sound Room, join me to share his viewpoint as we discuss ESG and unravel its meaning. The Meaning and Impact of ESG  ESG is not just a buzzword but a framework that evaluates how a company performs in areas beyond financial metrics. ESG is a lens through which companies get scrutinized for their environmental practices, social responsibility, and corporate governance. It is significant for investors seeking to align their portfolios with ethical and sustainable values. However, much complexity and subjectivity are still involved in measuring those factors accurately. Navigating the Challenges  The challenges inherent in implementing ESG criteria include the potential pitfall of greenwashing, where companies manipulate or exaggerate their ESG efforts to appear more environmentally and socially conscious than they are. The lack of standardized reporting and varying interpretations of ESG metrics can make it difficult for investors to make informed decisions. Furthermore, the skepticism that ESG can evoke makes one wonder whether some corporations genuinely embrace these principles or are merely jumping on the bandwagon. Balancing Profit and Purpose  Balancing profit with purpose is a central theme when addressing the tension between financial success and ESG commitments because companies can indeed be both financially successful and socially responsible, and companies with strong ESG practices often have a competitive edge, attracting consumers, investors, and even talented employees who align with their values.  A Paradigm Shift in Business ESG considerations drive companies to adopt sustainable practices, create social impact, and enhance governance structures. There are many real-world examples of companies embracing ESG principles and reaping benefits like reputation, customer loyalty, and innovation. ESG has catalyzed a shift towards purpose-driven business models, redefining success beyond monetary gains. ESG on a Personal Level Individuals can contribute to the ESG movement in their personal lives with conscious consumption, ethical investment choices, and supporting companies aligned with their values. Education and awareness are essential to inform consumers because informed consumers can drive demand for responsible products and services. We need to understand that ESG is not solely a corporate endeavor. It is a collective effort that begins with small, intentional actions. A Call to Embrace the Potential of ESG The potential of ESG is crucial for positive change. Despite its complexities and controversies, ESG allows for a more sustainable and equitable future. So it is essential to engage with ESG discussions, ask critical questions, and support companies genuinely committed to making a difference.  Diverse Board Composition and Qualifications When examining the composition of a company board concerning ESG, some instances prompt the consideration of whether the lack of banking expertise could impact board decisions. That raises questions about the percentage of board members with banking experience and the potential implications for decision-making. Risk Management and Consequences Tony points out a scenario where poor risk management led to the approval of loans that could not get repaid, exposing an oversight in the ESG efforts of the company. That highlights the importance of evaluating the actual practices and consequences linked to ESG strategies because potential unintended outcomes can arise, even with well-intentioned ESG initiatives. Direct and Indirect Links in ESG Impact Various indirect links and unintended consequences could emerge when exploring the nuanced connections between ESG and outcomes. Those unintended consequences can arise when companies prioritize meeting ESG criteria over qualifications or expertise. That underscores the complexity of measuring the impact of ESG and how different motivations behind ESG integration can lead to contrasting outcomes. ESG and Energy Policy Considerations ESG discussions often intersect with debates about fossil fuels and renewable energy. That is why we need comprehensive energy policies to consider environmental and economic factors. ESG and Green Building Integration Certified green buildings align with ESG goals and contribute to sustainability and societal well-being. Green buildings lower risk, offer quality assurance and positively impact energy consumption and occupant comfort.  Balancing Perspectives and Encouraging Dialogue Individuals need to have a balanced perspective and open dialogues in the ESG discourse. Tony and I are willing to engage in productive conversations despite our differing viewpoints, and we encourage listeners to seek understanding, ask questions, and communicate the benefits of ESG efforts to foster positive change.  Have a great green day!

The connected home ecosystem comprises an estimated 1.8 billion smart devices, and that number is climbing. In this episode, we'll explore ‘The Connected Home: Can Your Company Plug Into Opportunity?' In L.E.K. Consulting's recent survey, 89% of current connected-product owners had considered purchasing a connected device within the past year. Moreover, 60% of current connected-product nonowners also had considered purchasing a connected device. Depending on the product, search volume for key connected products increased two to three times from 2017 to 2022. And despite variations in the speed of penetration growth, most third-party forecasts expect increases of more than 20% over the next five years or so. Factor in the new Matter standard that enables greater interoperability, and this presents an obvious growth opportunity for an array of prospective players. These include members of the investment community and players within industries that have an organic connection to the space across seven basic categories.In this episode, we will discuss key topics including: How, driven by more engaged homeowners and more affordable, better-performing, easier-to-use technology, the connected home ecosystem continues its rapid growth Why choosing the right path is critical so that every player will succeed in this transforming world How companies can determine whether they have a role in the connected home and, if so, what that role is Why companies need to determine whether they will be orchestrators or enablers To provide insights on these topics, we will hear from Paul Bromfield, Managing Director and Partner at L.E.K. Consulting's New York office; Gavin McGrath, Managing Director and Partner at L.E.K. Consulting's Boston office; and Corey Highfield, Principal at L.E.K. Consulting's Boston office.Connect with our experts on LinkedIn:Corey Highfield: https://www.linkedin.com/in/corey-highfield-b0630628/Paul Bromfield: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulbromfield/ Gavin McGrath: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gavinmcgrath/  Visit L.E.K.

A slew of new connected home devices, utilizing the Matter protocol, is about to hit retailers in time for the holidays. Will this standard, which promises easier connectivity and installation for smart home devices like lights, sensors, door locks, cameras and more, revitalize the idea of a connected home? Or better yet, lead us to the part of smart home automation? Keith chats with Skip Ashton, an engineer with Infineon Technologies and representative of the Connectivity Standards Alliance, about the protocol.

Artificial intelligence has become the buzzword of the century, permeating news headlines, chat platforms, and even our everyday browsing experiences. Its presence in our lives is undeniable, revolutionizing the world of computing and enhancing human existence in ways we could have only dreamed of!  Amidst this AI revolution, another concept has been capturing our collective imagination for years- Smart Homes.  I'm Marla, the Green Home Coach! Today, I am excited to delve into the realm of smart and connected homes with a true expert in the field! I have Tony Pratt from the Sound Room joining me in the studio to explain how to tie smart home technology together with AI. Tony's insights will undoubtedly leave you captivated as we embark on an enlightening journey into the world of artificial intelligence and smart homes! Artificial intelligence and connected homes There are two parts to getting to grips with artificial intelligence and connected homes. The first is getting to understand all the different smart home devices. The second is learning how to tie them all together. (Companies like the Sound Room have the experience to know which features you can use to integrate and interact with your devices.) Still a work in progress Currently, the integration of artificial intelligence into smart home devices is still a work in progress. While AI has not fully permeated the realm of smart homes yet, it is undoubtedly the direction in which the technology is heading. Soon, AI algorithms will be capable of learning your preferences, such as the desired temperature for your thermostat, by analyzing data from various sources. This includes comparing it with external factors like outdoor temperature, humidity, and wind conditions. Through this correlation of information, AI will enable smart homes to provide a more personalized and optimized living experience. Privacy and Data Collection There are concerns surrounding data collection and privacy in smart home systems. Tony explains that while some systems collect data, it is kept within the house and not accessible externally. He points out the trade-off between inexpensive devices like Google and Alexa, which mine user data to offer cheaper products, versus systems that prioritize privacy and charge higher prices. Artificial Intelligence and Home Automation AI is transforming home automation by enabling more advanced data processing and analysis. AI allows systems to understand users' habits and preferences, leading to more personalized and efficient control of devices. Tony highlights the importance of planning and having multiple trigger points in an AI-powered smart home.  Challenges in Implementing Smart Home Systems There are several challenges in implementing smart home systems, particularly the shortage of computer chips and reduced quality control due to external factors like COVID-19. That has resulted in higher device failure rates, which can impact the user experience. Home Automation Start Points and Wifi Networks Tony suggests two starting points for home automation: environmental control (lights, locks, thermostats) and entertainment (audio-video systems). He explains that while entertainment systems are more appealing, environmental control is easier to implement initially. He stresses the significance of having a robust wifi network in smart homes, as that forms the backbone for connecting various devices and ensures smooth functioning, especially as AI becomes more integral to home automation. Lock and Leave By connecting additional devices to their smart home network, homeowners can ensure that all their devices interact seamlessly and respond to voice commands through platforms like Alexa or Google. That integration allows for convenient control over different aspects of the home, such as triggering routines like "good morning" or "good night," as well as indicating when the homeowner is leaving or arriving.  Future Trends in Smart Home Technology Future trends in smart home technology include low-voltage backlighting, integrated LED cans, and the need for compatibility between different smart devices.  The Internet of Things With the Internet of Things (IoT) and the connected city, everything relies on sensors. However, there is a significant challenge in the form of a shortage of computer chips, which are essential for these interconnected systems. The supply of computer chips has become extremely limited, and even the available ones suffer from a lack of quality control, particularly since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Remote diagnostics Remote diagnostics for HVAC systems will enable technicians to diagnose and even fix issues remotely. That will reduce the need for physical visits, speed up repairs, and enhance the overall user experience. Exciting opportunities and challenges The ongoing technological advancements bring exciting opportunities while also posing challenges that must be addressed for a seamless and secure smart home experience. The Power of Monitoring Internet Performance  New systems allow users to log in and monitor their internet performance. That real-time insight into a service provider or equipment issues is a game-changer for both consumers and service providers. While cable companies have offered similar monitoring capabilities for some time, recent advancements offer greater convenience and efficiency. Technology as a Solution to Labor Shortages With the labor shortages in the trade industry, there is a need for both skilled workers and advanced technology to meet the growing demands of the modern world. Tony points out that technology can be a powerful tool to augment that workforce.  Remote Troubleshooting with AI and Smart Home Technology  Tony had an experience where he used remote access and AI to troubleshoot a client's wifi system. He points out that technology can save us a lot of time and resources by diagnosing issues remotely and allowing technicians to be more efficient and effective. AI and Smart Home Technology Optimization Tony explains that to achieve true optimization, all devices must be interconnected and capable of learning from user habits. While that vision is still a work in progress, it promises greater automation and convenience in our daily lives. Smart Appliances Require a Robust WiFi Network A robust wifi network is crucial for the functionality of smart homes, especially as they advance to the AI level. In the future, smart homes will not only consist of individual devices like door locks, garage door openers, and light switches but will also include essential appliances like refrigerators and other power-dependent equipment. As the scope of smart home technology expands, the reliance on a strong and stable wifi network becomes even more critical to ensure seamless connectivity and communication between various smart devices and appliances. The Role of AI in Automation and Beyond  The role of AI is increasing in various fields, such as writing emails and creating content. We can anticipate continued growth and the integration of AI into our daily lives. The Future of AI and Smart Home Integration  When considering the future of AI and smart home integration, Tony suggests seeking advice from system integrators or automation specialists to navigate this evolving landscape. The Exciting Potential of AI and Smart Home Technology  Tony and I are excited about the potential of AI and smart home technology to improve our lives. We plan to explore this topic further in upcoming episodes and encourage listeners to stay updated on the latest developments in this exciting field! Have a great green day!

Maaya, a Patient Advocate, lost her kidney function in 2014. With a busy career and family life, Maaya found that traditional in-center dialysis wasn't the right fit for her lifestyle and transitioned to home hemodialysis, freeing up more time for what's important to her.

There seems to be an app for everything right now!  Could you imagine downloading an app for your house? Or even a whole bunch of apps? Well, that is what you need to do if you have a smart home! But how do you go about connecting everything in this time when technology is constantly moving and things keep on changing?   I am Marla, the Green Home Coach! Today, I am happy to have my co-host and resident expert, Tony Pratte from The Sound Room, joining me to have an in-depth conversation about the latest technological developments for smart homes.  In this episode, Tony and I talk about the intersection between home and tech, and we discuss the digital revolution that we are going through right now. Tony sheds some light on the technology you need for your smart home and explains how to connect and control everything to make your home easier to live in and more comfortable than ever before. We also offer some great tips for having a smarter and more connected home. Things are moving fast Technology is moving so fast right now we can barely keep up! Between the 1960s and the 1910s, technology did not change much. Now, the average homeowner seems to feel like a deer in headlights with all the technological changes happening! A proprietary system Our internet and cable provider also provides systems for security and home automation. So in my home, we have a proprietary app for security and our home automation system. Having a proprietary system means that the provider is the only one who can work on it. Adding a system If you already have a proprietary system and would like to add another DIY system, you will need to have a separate system for that. You will also have to have different apps for each system. Thermostats and HVAC warranties I have to use the thermostat supplied by my service provider, even though I liked the one I had before, better. If I have a problem with the thermostat and bring in an outside party to change it, it would result in the warranty on my HVAC system being voided immediately. Key entry points  There are key entry points for smart homes. The HVAC system is one key entry point, and security is another.  Environmental control Environmental control takes care of your home infrastructure. That includes your security, HVAC system, and door lock.   Entertainment The entertainment side controls the audio and video in your home. It can also control the home security side. Security cameras  Both the environmental controls and the entertainment controls can control security cameras. Video The environmental side might handle some small light audio, but it will not cope with video.  A digital revolution We are now experiencing a digital revolution known as the Fourth Revolution. Although it is a technological and digital revolution, it is how our lives are evolving. It is no different from the Industrial Revolution in the late 1800s and early 1900s.  Science fiction Our current technology is like science fiction. Tony points out that science fiction is rooted in what is to come in terms of technology.  Affordable technology Technology is expensive initially. But as it advances, people find ways to make it more accessible and affordable. Smart homes Smart homes have individual components that can be controlled remotely by a third-party device, like an app on a smart device or with voice control. The idea behind smart homes is to make our lives more convenient and comfortable and save time and energy. Connected homes In a connected home, everything is connected to the internet. All the items in the home are also connected via the same app or third-party device. A connected home absorbs and transmits data by working through the internet.  Maintenance In a connected home, the appliances transmit data to the manufacturers to inform them when parts start to fail. That makes home maintenance easier and allows the appliances to last longer. Setting scenes In connected homes, you can set scenes. For example, if you set up a “good morning” scene and turn it on by pushing a single button, the shades will go up, the door will unlock, the security system will disarm, the coffee pot will start making coffee, and music and the TV will switch on.  Systems and apps You can have several systems within a single app. You can also have a few single items, like voice-controlled Delta Faucets, that do not reside inside that app but can be tied into the overall system and controlled with a third-party voice-controlled trigger. Crossing systems Alexa and Google are the primary platforms for voice control. At The Sound Room , they also have more basic environmental systems that will operate well with Alexa and Google. The Sound Room provides a more custom DIY initial install experience and support. A growing awareness There is a growing awareness of the possible impact of having wifi-based electronics in our homes or on our bodies.  Crowded homes The term crowded home was coined because people's homes are so crowded with technology right now.  Infrastructure In the future, every electric item in our homes will be on wifi, so we will need the proper home infrastructure to support those devices. A hard-wired data jack  Having a hard-wired data jack on your smart TV will ensure that you have a continuous stream of the internet going to the TV, regardless of the number of people using the wifi in your home. Lighting The lighting in smart homes can be controlled remotely by a third-party device. Most lighting controls involve replacing the switches, not the light-bulbs. Lighting is more complicated, especially when it comes to dimmers and LED light-bulbs.    Remodeling When remodeling a home, if you would like to have someone like Tony install a DIY home-control system, rather than having a professional system installed, the people living in the home need to be smart and experienced enough to manage and support their items and equipment.  CEDIA CEDIA is an association to help people find integrator companies, like The Sound Room, in their cities. They handle all the accreditations and certifications and put on an annual show for custom electronics installation companies. Three tips Three tips for having a smarter and more connected home: Put in the best wifi system that your budget and home can handle. (This is vital because it is the backbone of a smart home.) Get a video doorbell. Find one item that would improve your life, like smart light-bulbs, a Sonos music system, or a learning thermostat, install it, and test-drive it.

Cupertino sarebbe in trattative con Toyota per la produzione di massa di un veicolo elettrico a marchio, con un nuovo design della batteria per ridurne il costo e aumentarne l'autonomia. Cybercrime: boom di attacchi verso IoT. Nei primi sei mesi del 2021 rilevati oltre 1,5 miliardi di attacchi indirizzati a dispositivi connessi di uso comune come lavatrici e frigoriferi. Un numero raddoppiato in Italia rispetto al semestre precedente. Aiuti di stato a Tesla. La Germania deciderà entro la fine dell'anno quanti sussidi concedere al produttore di veicoli elettrici statunitense per la sua prevista fabbrica di batterie vicino a Berlino. L'Ue aveva approvato a gennaio un piano da 2,9 miliardi di euro che include la concessione di fondi ad alcune aziende produttrici per sostenere la produzione di batterie e ridurre le importazioni dalla Cina.

Försnack Ade testar Fedora… Eller?? Bra ljud förra veckan? Lyssnarrespons Bittin via telegram: det @Adetoft snackade om här i chatten och i podden tas upp på Fedoras GNOME möte just nu att Fedoras hemsida mest gör reklam riktat mot programmerare och inte vanliga massan Veckans ämne Att handla från Google… i Tyskland och varför går det inte i sverige? Och varför. Veckans App/Tips https://www.mailboxde.com/ Annat Vill bara tala om att herr Adetoft numera är innehavare av ett e-sim. Slut på meddelande. Dilemmat med att springa runt med två telefoner i fickan under arbetstid har gnagt i mig en längre tid. Jag tar ofta kort på jobbet och för att få någon som helst kvalitet, både bildmässigt och användarvänlighet, använder jag mig av min iPhone. Jobbets Samsung A någonting klarar inte av att hålla den nivå som iPhone gör. Jag har länge funderat på det där med e-sim. Det gör ju att det blir en slot ledig i telefonen. IPhone har ju bara en. E-sim löser ju det men som vanligt är jag ganska sen på bollen. En dag kände jag mig stark och gjorde slag i saken. Ut med det gamla, in med det nya. Nu kommer adetoft att gå runt med endast en lur som tynger ner arbetsbyxan.

This show originally aired on Saturday, September 12, 2020, at 9:00 AM EST on WFED (1500 AM).

Smart home technology is one of the fastest growing industries, thanks in part to devices and services such as Nest, Ecobee, Google Home, Amazon Echo and Apple. Research from Parks Associates from its Q4 2019 survey of 10,000 broadband households found that over 41% of US broadband households now own a smart home device, a 20% growth rate from one year ago. With all this connectivity in the home and enablement to better monitor, manage and control appliances, lighting and security that it brings to the consumer, what role does all of this ability bring to the grid? Utilities are forging ahead with bold efforts targeted at grid modernization, much of which focuses on greater situational awareness and action. In the connected home, consumers are also focusing not only on awareness, but conditional actions based on comfort, convenience and logical actions. Are we at the nexus of both of these innovations, can the grid benefit and support the smart home and vice versa? Denise Ernst, Vice President of Parks Associates, discussed all this with EnerNex host Ron Chebra live from DistribuTECH 2020 in San Antonio.

"We're getting closer to having enterprise-grade security available for every home." -- Mike Maniscaclo The co-founder of Ihiji joins CEDIA's Walt Zerbe and Ed Wenck to talk about the connected home of 2018 from a network guru's perspective. Brought to you by Streem.pro.

In this hallway conversation of the a16z Podcast, Benedict Evans and Steven Sinofsky discuss CES 2018 and share insight on what they took from this year's show. How much can you discern each company's "big picture" strategy out of the slew of new products, press releases, and announcements that flood the floor? How do you sort the wheat from the chaff? And beyond the event of CES itself, Evans and Sinofsky analyze the experimentation we're beginning to see in connected consumer electronics for the home. When it comes to the smart home, it seems as though more is better -- more devices, more connectivity, and a single network to rule them all -- but that isn't the case. How (and when) will these devices and appliances -- some of which you only buy new every 10-20 years -- all connect into one system, and what will that platform look like? Which devices will we actually need to be "smart", and what will be today's equivalent of the electric carving knife? Where will new kinds of UI come in; when will a simple GO button be the better option? All this and more in this episode.

Mike visits with Korner CEO Steve Hollis to talk about the recent moves by Amazon to drop Apple TV from Amazon.com (and what it means for the connected home), their new Dash partners and the Nest Weave announcement. We also get an update on Korner.

The Internet of Things puts intelligence into all kinds of things -- especially in the home, from appliances to light bulbs and door locks. But we still have a ways to go. “We need to be very patient in this category,” says Quirky CEO Ben Kaufman in a conversation with a16z General Partner Scott Weiss. The technology is available, Kaufman adds, we just need our things -- and habits -- to be ready too. So when does this technology go mainstream? What gadget do they think will push it over the edge ... and what might hold it back even longer? The views expressed here are those of the individual AH Capital Management, L.L.C.
