An integration of several approaches is proposed towards building an intelligent thermostat that can reduce energy consumption. A statistical model is used to spot trends in living patterns and make suggestions. An embedded task model, containing product usage patterns, can infer user intentions and serves as input to a dialog manager. Future work includes fieldtesting of the prototype and concepts in residential homes. Keywords There is currently a debate among different communities as to what is meant by the term mixed-initiative [2]. Rather than dive into this debate one could consider the several dominant approaches to mixed-initiative user interfaces [1]: Task-oriented systems: focus on building systems that can partially plan and eventually execute a task on their own
