The achievement of sustainable goals in the home environment demands an optimized management of electricity loads from the control side.The present work proposes a control approach based on an appropriate load definition, context awareness regarding user behaviours and the persuasive capabili-ties of pervasive systems. Beyond further benefits, the main aim is focused on the improvement of the elas-ticity of the electricity market.In order to check the proposal, some simulations com-paring common users and “optimized” users are per-formed. The simulations deploy statistical information from Austria in 2008 and conclude with hypothetical savings for future homes with the proposed enhance-ments.
