About
According to the Energy Information Administration, heating and cooling costs represent half of a typical US home’s energy bill, or approximately $2,000 a year. This typical home has an average of 2-4 rooms being over-heated or over-cooled at various times. In the past, there was no easy way to control the airflow a room received from a central heating or cooling system. By efficiently closing and opening air vents in certain over-conditioned rooms, homeowners can reduce their home’s central HVAC operation time by up to 30%. The Keen Home Smart Vent is a wirelessly networked home air vent that enhances the efficiency and comfort of a home’s heating and cooling system by intelligently redirecting central HVAC airflow. Smart Vents are primarily installed in over-conditioned rooms (4-6 Smart Vents per home) and automatically open and close in response to specific details of a user’s home and lifestyle—effectively reducing the square footage that needs to be conditioned at any time.
