Smart home technologies promise to transform domestic comfort,
convenience, security and leisure while also reducing energy use.
But delivering on these potentially conflicting promises depends on
how they are adopted and used in homes. This book starts by
developing a new analytical framework for understanding smart homes
and their users. Drawing on a range of new empirical research
combining both qualitative and quantitative data, the book then
explores how smart home technologies are perceived by potential
users, how they can be used to link domestic energy use to common
daily activities, how they may (or may not) be integrated into
everyday life by actual users, and how they serve to change the
nature of control within households and the home. The book
concludes by synthesising a range of evidence-based insights, and
posing a series of challenges for industry, policy, and research
that need addressing if a smart home future is to be realised.
Researchers will find this book provides useful insights into this
fast-growing field
