scope:

This Recommendation describes requirements and capabilities for saving energy by using smart objects in home networks. It develops the functional architecture of key components for saving energy through home/building automation. This Recommendation covers the following:

• general overview for saving energy by using smart objects in home networks

• requirements and capabilities for saving energy by using smart objects in home networks

• functional architecture for saving energy by using smart objects in home networks.

This Recommendation considers the fixed home environment such as residential buildings, and it also considers aspects of the mobile environment relating to the home such as networked electric vehicles (EVs) which support ubiquitous networking among smart objects.
