Centre Of Excellence

Publications Library

The CDA Centre of Excellence is one of the key projects conceived by the Connected Devices Alliance (CDA). The Centre’s publications library aims to increase the understanding of energy saving opportunities and best practices that can be attained by networked devices and the networks in which they operate.

Publications hosted on the Centre of Excellence are independent, authoritative and intended to inform energy efficiency policy development. The primary audience includes governments, industry, academics and NGOs.

All documents posted on the Centre of Excellence have been subject to a brief review process and judged to be useful and appropriate. The Centre welcomes further submissions – please click on the Submit Papers button below:
