Nooot quite, though smart home devices certainly do make that seem like a reasonable expectation. Home performance, the way we use it, refers to how efficiently your home is using energy. Your HVAC systems account for half of your home’s entire energy use. So if you don’t have the proper insulation or if you have air leaks, then you could be wasting a precious resource, which will leave you paying more for your HVAC use than you should have to.
