Automated Lighting 

One of the easiest ways to reduce your energy consumption is through lighting. Just think: how often have you come home after a long day only to find out you left the lights in your bathroom and bedroom turned on the whole day? No one was using them, but they will certainly appear in your next energy bill. 

With Savant, you can quickly get rid of this common inconvenience. Program and manage your lighting solutions even if you are away from home, ensuring  your lights are only on when necessary. With Savant’s automated lighting solutions, you can also dim down your lights during evenings to create more cozy environments that are decidedly less wasteful. 

Motorized Shading

There are two ways your motorized shading system can help you reduce your energy consumption: by managing your light and your home’s temperature. When it comes to lighting, it is undeniable that the best source of it will always be natural sunshine. However, many homeowners rely on artificial lighting solutions even in the middle of a sunny day, often in an attempt to keep their privacy or protect their furniture from damaging UV rays. 

By integrating Lutron shades with your Savant home automation system, you can effortlessly control how much sunlight comes through your windows and at which times of the day. For example, you can program your shades to rise early in the morning, close them at noon to protect your home from intense UV rays, raise them again in the evening to watch the sunset, and finally shut them down to keep your spaces private after dark.

Regarding temperature, motorized shades are an excellent tool for increasing your home’s insulation. In Wilmette, the winters can be pretty brutal, and having your climate system constantly working to keep your home warm can take a massive toll on your energy bills. With motorized shades, however, your property can remain warm for longer, as the heat won’t escape through the windows.

Energy Management & Monitoring

One of the coolest things about Savant is that, on top of all the solutions we just mentioned, it also allows you to keep track of your energy consumption and manage your power sources. For example, if you have a solar panel in place, you can choose which devices will be supported by it and which will be powered by your regular energy grid.
