Some of us are frustrated at the changing of the seasons – not because it's time to bring out the sweaters and coats, but because we have to find the directions on how to reprogram the thermostat!

| Nest | The Learning Thermostat |
The new Nest Learning Thermostat might be the answer. Developed former Apple executives Tony Fadell and Matt Rogers, the Nest is said to be user-friendly with updateable software and nominal installation requirements. Best of all, the Nest is easy to operate: simply turn the dial to set the temperature as each day progresses on the screen. After a week the Nest has stored and “learned” the data to keep replicating the first week’s settings. Better yet, it has a motion sensor that can detect when the house is unoccupied, called Auto-Away™. Auto-Away turns heating and cooling down automatically when no one is home, saving energy for you when no one is home.
Want to know if you’re saving energy? It’s simple: look for the Nest Leaf on the screen.
The Nest is a great way to see if you're saving energy every day. Whether you're putting it in your primary residence or vacation home, Bonin Architects gives the Nest a thumbs up!
