Smart Home Lab

Through a partnership with East River Electric Power Cooperative and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, or NRECA, DSU students and faculty can now conduct smart home and energy-management research within MadLabs.

Project space resembles a home kitchen, with smart lighting, window shades, speakers, kitchen appliances and a Rheem® Marathon® water heater. With check-ins from East River, DSU students and faculty conduct digital research simulations through computer and TV screens. The results display on these screens and give viewers the feel of what a smart home could look like.
