The household and building sectors are a significant consumer of energy in Canada, residential energy use alone accounting for 22.8% of energy use in 2008, with heating, lighting, and appliances accounting for 12.6% of the total, according to Statistics Canada. The energy consumption by these sectors have been rising over time, growing 11% between 2000 and 2008. As energy costs rise and the carbon footprint of energy sources becomes a growing concern, there is an imperative need to intelligently control the use of energy in homes and buildings, eliminating waste while minimally affecting user comfort.

根据加拿大统计局的数据，家庭和建筑部门是加拿大的重要能源消耗部门，仅住宅能源使用量就占2008年能源使用量的22.8%，其中供暖、照明和家用电器占总能耗的12.6%。随着时间的推移，这些部门的能源消耗一直在上升，2000至2008年间增长了11%。随着能源成本的上升和能源的碳足迹日益受到关注，迫切需要智能地控制家庭和建筑中的能源使用，消除浪费，同时将对用户舒适度的影响降至最低。
