Introducing the Smart HEMS Benchmark: An Open, Vendor-Neutral Standard for Residential Energy Systems

LF Energy said the Smart HEMS Benchmark was accepted as an LF Energy Sandbox Project, adding an open, reproducible standard for evaluating residential distributed energy resources across siting, sizing, home energy management optimization, and community-level grid services. EcoFlow initiated the project, led by Dr. Rui (Ricky) Li with co-initiators from the Technical University of Munich and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and LF Energy frames the neutral home as a way to replace proprietary, incompatible evaluation datasets.
