Nest Renew energy policy and industry resources

Nest Renew, a no charge service powered by Renew Home, helps people play a part in the fight against climate change from home. By combining existing Nest thermostat programs with new education tools and intelligent automation, Renew makes it easy to support a clean energy future.

Google has long strived to help move the world closer to a carbon-free future. With Nest Renew, we‘re working closely with our partners to engage people with empowering and impactful tools that help them support the energy transition. Because when we each do a little, it adds up to a lot.
