2011 International CES announces new connected Home Appliances Techzone

AHAM President Joseph McGuire agreed, stating: "The home is an essential component to an effective smart grid. Smart appliances and consumer electronics will allow consumers to save money on their electric bill and use energy in a more environmentally friendly manner. Already a leader in energy efficiency and the smart grid, the appliance industry is paving the way with smart technologies for demand-response capable appliances. In addition to smart grid enabled appliances, the pavilion will showcase other products and technologies that will appeal to savvy consumers.  The world’s leading technology trade show is the ideal venue for AHAM members and other appliance manufacturers to showcase these technologies and the connected home concept."

The Connected Home Appliances TechZone is designed to benefit manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers, home builders, integrators, suppliers, utilities and all others in the connected appliances arena. The Connected Home Appliances TechZone will feature household appliances (both major and portable) and innovative technologies that integrate with other electronics products to improve consumers’ health and productivity while reducing their environmental impact.
