Grid-Aware Living: Shift Usage When Electricity is Cleaner

Grid-aware means doing energy-heavy tasks when the grid is cleaner. Check the live carbon intensity, then time things like:

• EV charging
• Laundry & dishwashers
• Water heating (with timers)
• Space conditioning pre-heat/pre-cool

This is the free move before you buy new gear. If you do upgrade, look for features that let you schedule when things run.
