It even achieved a shade of green we were unaware even existed: the little-known “Emerald” designation from the National Association of Home Builders’(NAHB) ICC 700-2008 National Green Building Standard.

The home, which is packed with lighting control, also earned the “Essence of Pleasance” first place award from Lutron as part of its 2012 Excellence Awards, along with a LEED Platinum designation from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

ZIO, the integration company based in Orlando that is headed by CEDIA board member Peter Shipp, filled the home with technology that “not only melds seamlessly with the home’s modern décor, but thanks to the integrated Lutron systems, becomes a significant enhancement feature to the home’s value,” according to Marisa Munro,Speed Queen offers commercial turbinecompany and coin operated laundromat units for vended. client relationship manager at ZIO.
