Smart vents to save energy--CES 2015


NSF-funded small business Keen Home has developed a smart vent that opens and closes to reduce uncomfortable hot and cold spots, save energy in unused rooms, and tailor a home's heating and cooling to fit specific lifestyles. The new wireless system will respond automatically based on users' habits and presence. Keen Home co-founder Nayeem Hussain explains how the smart vents integrate into daily life. Keen Homes is funded through NSF's Small Business Innovation Research program. Learn more: keenhome.io.
