Builders, electronic systems contactors (ESCs) and other industry professionals can learn how to take advantage of home technology trends in a slow market during the free webinar, “Installed Home Technology: A Key Part of Builder Business Success,” from 2:00-3:00 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 11.

Conducted by NAHB and the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), the webinar is based upon the CEA’s 8th Annual State of the Builder Technology Market Study and features a panel of home builders and technology experts who will discuss the increasing importance of home technology in home building and new-home sales as consumers become more aware of the many technologies available that can enhance their lifestyle and home.

Panelists will discuss:

• What technologies are most popular among builders and why
• Why installing home technology makes good business sense
• How builders can develop and strengthen relationships with ESCs

Panelists include: Steve Koenig, CEA’s director of industry analysis; Tom Stone of Stone-Glidden High Performance Home Systems, an installation firm that integrates audio-video, lighting, security and automation for new and existing homes; and Tony Crasi of The Crasi Company, a full service residential design build firm.
