Project Sustainability


Each month, the show welcomes a new guest who will unpack a specific topic, spanning multiple episodes. Host Peggy Smedley will dive into her guest’s desire to provide alternatives that will empower each of us on what it means to have a healthy home. Simply all the innovations from energy, air, water, lighting, security, appliances, and more that impact our homes.

With a focus on technology—and how it works in the home—listeners will gain a deeper understanding of what’s coming next and what’s already possible today. Determined to give a glimpse into the future, Smedley ends every series with the same question: How can we do even more simply by managing our energy consumption to help make the world healthier, safer, and greener today and for future generations?

Peggy Smedley and Diane Cook, professor, Washington State University, talk about smart homes and what she has done with the CASAS Smart Home project at Washington State University. She explains how the project started with her interest in finding an application of machine learning that would challenge the field and force her to find new methods, while also having a significant societal implication. 

They also discuss:

  • The home of the future and the Texas State Fair—and how it guided her project.
  • How she finds what her next goal and core objectives will be.
  • What she has learned from the applicants and the professors—and where the project is headed next.
