Residential Energy Usage and Grid Flexibility w/ Aaron Berndt (Google Nest)

Hello again!👋 Welcome to another episode. This week we are speaking with Aaron Berndt at Google Nest. 

The Google Nest thermostat allows homeowners to participate in their local utility's energy demand response programs which can save or earn them money. 

In this conversation, we discussed how much effect residential demand programs can have on creating a more resilient grid. We discussed the Google Nest product and its particulars and went through a number of other topics around education and regulation. We really hope you enjoy this conversation.
