Help Consumers Address Their Home Energy Concerns

Free NAHB Webinar on Building and Home Technology in July

Even in a slower economy, home technology continues to be an important aspect of the home building and home buying process and it is influencing the decisions of builders and their customers, according to a recent study by the Consumer Electronic Association (CEA).

NAHB, the CEA and the Custom Electronics Design & Installation Association (CEDIA) are conducting a fee webinar for members of the three associations from 2:00-3:00 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, July 22 to discuss the findings of the CEA’s “7th Annual State of the Builder Technology Market Study” and what they mean for builders, remodelers and their home technology partners and contractors.

A panel of experts representing different segments of the industry and home technology will offer their views about home technology’s growing importance and what trends they see emerging and give insights into how home building professionals can put these to their advantage.

To Register

Registration is free to members of NAHB, CEA and CEDIA and available by clicking here.

Registrants will receive a confirmation via e-mail and detailed instructions on how to log in to the free webinar.

For more information, e-mail Agustín Cruz at NAHB, or call him at 800-368-5242 x8472.
