Energy management and Energy monitoring are two things that you may have heard a lot about lately, but you may not know what they are. What does it mean to monitor or manage your energy, and how can you do these things?

Control4 knows that you cannot devote every minute of every day to monitoring and managing your energy use. With a Control4 home automation system, the burden of energy management can be taken off your shoulders. Your home automation system can decrease your energy use by turning off lights for you, or even adjusting your thermostat. Your energy usage is being managed, with out you getting up to switch off a light yourself.
