ICT for sustainable homes is a conference and exhibition organised by Sigma Orionis is cooperation with the Beywatch FP7 project aiming at ICT for energy efficient homes and neighborhoods.

The event is devoted to the new challenges faced by all players developing innovative products and services for the home: how to put ICT at the service of “greener homes” (lower energy consumption, reduced impact on the environment), to consider new consumer patterns, to anticipate new markets at the international scale, and more generally to ensure a true sustainable home, i.e. not only a “greener” home but a home in which the elderly and the disabled will have a better life, in which health, security, communication, knowledge and learning will be improved thanks to ICT, etc

“Sustainability” rather than “high-tech” will be the main differentiation criteria of tomorrow’s homes.

The 2010 ICT for sustainable homes conference and exhibition will be organised in Nice on November 17-19, 2010.
