simplifies life in the kitchen. Bosch home appliances, the premier
European kitchen design brand, will expand its award-winning suite of
sleek, modern appliances.

cooling and hot water solutions. As a leading provider of high-quality,
comfort conditioning systems for residential, commercial and

utility bills for lower cost of ownership. With every product line,
Bosch offers controls and accessories to manage energy use, including
wi-fi enabled smart controls and mobile apps.
At IBS, Bosch will show its ultra-efficient geothermal heat pump
systems, which use the relatively constant temperature of the earth to
provide heating, air conditioning and hot water. Geothermal systems are
the most efficient, comfortable and quiet heating and cooling solutions
available for residential or commercial applications. In addition to
being a key enabler for Zero Net Energy capable homes, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency has stated that these systems can reduce
greenhouse gas emissions by up to 40 percent compared to conventional
HVAC systems.

control, Bosch systems help make residences more secure and provide
peace of mind. With customized solutions for any home layout, individual
control of rooms or areas, and the ability to carry out multiple
functions with a single command, homeowners can create a customized
security plan to fit their lifestyle.
Integrating security systems with video surveillance allows monitoring,
identification of who turned the system on or off, and viewing images of
other events occurring within or near the home – all from a remote
desktop, smart phone or tablet. Homeowners also gain convenience and
save energy with support for industry-standard Z-Wave devices, which
enable connected systems to control security, lighting, heating, cooling
and more.

future for the vehicles of the future. Bosch residential EV charging
stations are designed to work with all electric vehicles sold in North
America, providing safe and reliable charging. The stations offer great
