Nest learns from your behaviors, preferences and surroundings to create a custom heating and cooling schedule, keeping you comfortable when you\u2019re home and conserving energy when you\u2019re away.\u00a0 \u201cIt was unacceptable to me that the device that controls 10 percent of all energy consumed in the U.S. hadn\u2019t kept up with advancements in technology and design,\u201d said Tony Fadell, co-founder and chief executive officer of Nest Labs. \u201cTogether with the team, Co-Founder Matt Rogers and I set out to reinvent the thermostat using advanced technologies, high-quality manufacturing processes and the thoughtful design elements the iPhone generation has come to expect. The resulting Nest Learning Thermostat is like no other thermostat on the market. We hope it will not only save money and energy, but that it will teach and inspire people to think more about how they can reduce home- energy consumption.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_83930\"  width=\"480\" height=\"270\"  data-origwidth=\"480\" data-origheight=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QCJ1PnVlzIE?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>According to the U.S. Department of Energy and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, the annual energy bill for a typical single-family home is approximately $2,200, with heating and cooling (HVAC) accounting for approximately half of the bill. The programmable thermostat, developed in the 1970s, promised to help people conserve energy, but 89 percent of owners rarely or never set a program (source: ACEEE, 2010). The devices are simply too complicated. In fact, Energy Star revoked its certification of all thermostats in 2009 when it became apparent that people weren\u2019t actually engaging with programmable thermostats to reach their proper functionality.<\/p>\n<p>Nest Learning Thermostat &#8211; Nest addresses the programming problem through a combination of sensors, algorithms, machine learning, and cloud computing. Nest learns behaviors and preferences and adjusts the temperature up or down accordingly, making you comfortable when you\u2019re home and saving energy while you\u2019re away. Nest also provides people with tips and information to help them make energy-saving choices.\u00a0 Product Features:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Programs itself<\/strong> \u2013 Nest programs itself based on the temperatures you set. Nest learns your personal schedule in a week and starts automatically turning down heating or cooling when you\u2019re away to save energy.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_29502\"  width=\"480\" height=\"270\"  data-origwidth=\"480\" data-origheight=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5thQRIX3Rio?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div><strong>Saves Energy<\/strong> \u2013 Nest tracks the temperatures you typically set and guides you to more energy-efficient ones, displaying the green Nest Leaf as a reward when you set the temperature to a more energy-efficient setting. The Auto-AwayTM feature uses sensors to detect when you\u2019re not home, lowering the temperature and saving energy. You can also check Energy History to see how much you saved.<\/div>\n<p><strong>Connected<\/strong> \u2013 Connect Nest to your home\u2019s Wi-Fi to control it from your laptop, smartphone or tablet. Change the temperature, adjust your schedule and check your energy usage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Simple to Use<\/strong> \u2013 Rotate the outer ring to adjust the temperature. The display turns blue when cooling and red when heating. Push down to open the menu.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Convenient Installation Options<\/strong> \u2013 Bundle installation service with purchase at nest.com or install Nest yourself if you\u2019re handy around the house. Just about everything you need comes in the box. If you&#8217;ve installed a lighting fixture, you\u2019ll find that installing Nest is a similar process.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_29958\"  width=\"480\" height=\"270\"  data-origwidth=\"480\" data-origheight=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6InjhtZ6NP8?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Thoughtful Design<\/strong> \u2013 The brushed stainless steel dial frames the display while the ring\u2019s curved, neutral-silver finish creates a chameleon effect that grounds Nest within its environment by picking up the color of the wall upon which it\u2019s mounted.
