# Emerging Household Energy systems

> Model and monitor household energy systems in the Emerging Household Energy solution using digital twins and verification workflows.

This page documents **Emerging Household Energy** solution modeling. It explains how the solution maps households, devices, and verification data using platform primitives. Use this guide when implementing household-energy workflows rather than generic platform capabilities.

## Why Cognitive Digital Twins (CDTs)?
