Greening The Internet of Things: Smart Products in a Smart Grid

Every electronic appliance or device as the potential now to be a node in the Smart Grid, yet most of these appliances and the built environments that house them are designed as independent systems. What if we equipped these appliances and their environments with the ability to communicate, sense and optimize their energy efficiency and use as a system? This talk addresses the potential to "green" the "Internet of Things". Examples will include smart lighting with wireless sensor networks and NASA's Sustainable Base.
