Crestron Ultimate Home Automation Solution Demonstrated in Las Vegas Show House During NAHB International Builders' Show®

The New American Home 2013 demonstrates the latest residential building products and home automation solutions

Thousands will arrive in Las Vegas this week to see the latest innovations and most advanced building products and services ever assembled at the National Association Home Builders (NAHB) International Builders' Show®. During the show, The New American Home® (TNAH) will be open during exhibit hours for tours by convention attendees. A Crestron whole home automation system was the focal point of this year's highly sophisticated desert sanctuary. This official show home is produced and sponsored by NAHB's Leading Suppliers Council and Builder Magazine.

"We're excited to demonstrate our home automation solutions in The New American Home," said Chad Hollander, Crestron Las Vegas Branch Manager. "The home gives the design build community inspiration and ideas for incorporating technology and sustainable building materials that they can begin using immediately to design high performance homes."

Now in its 30th year, The New American Home (TNAH) is constructed annually to showcase innovative residential construction technologies and the latest building products. The design team consisted of Builder, Architect, and Design Firm, Blue Heron and custom electronics design and installation company, Eagle Sentry. "The partnership between Crestron, Blue Heron and Eagle Sentry demonstrates the success of smart technology and design in the home when collaboration takes place at the beginning of the project," said Dave Sell, Crestron Executive Director.

This year's home showcases many Crestron solutions for indoor and outdoor entertaining, including its multiroom HD audio and video systems. Guests can enjoy music in any room - indoors or outdoors - or watch movies in several rooms with beautiful displays. Crestron in-wall and in-ceiling speakers deliver high performance sound throughout the 17,000 square foot property.

"Crestron was a natural fit because of their Integrated by Design™ concept which delivers a complete home technology solution on a single platform," said Greg Simmons, Co-owner, Eagle Sentry.

Crestron technology makes the home smarter. As guests enter the home, smart technology is at their fingertips. And one touch does it all from sleek tablet-style Crestron touch screens or the VPanel™ tabletop touch screen. They can control lights, shades, thermostats, entertainment, security cameras - even the fireplace - from any room or the outside patio areas surrounding the home.

The New American Home 2013 will be available for tours throughout the International Builders' Show. The NAHB will also host continuing an education session, The New American Home 2013 on Wednesday, January 23rd. Attendees will learn about the products, processes and strategies that can be replicated or adapted for housing built anywhere and in any price range. They will also discover ideas for balancing the kinds of market-driven design, construction and amenities that are all seen as a step ahead of the mainstream.
