Mike Smalley of Carina explains their WISE technology, which helps manage electric hot water heaters more efficiently. It uses demand response to shift energy use to off-peak times to reduce the water heater’s energy load, while maintaining a supply of hot water in the home.

By shifting the energy use to off-peak time, this technology reduces the load on the electric power plant and helps to avoid the need for building additional peak power plants, or keep old, dirty plants running.
