The team is set to host seminars all three days titled, “Comfortable. Convenient. Connected. Your Guide to Smart and Efficient Homes.” Company representatives will provide insight into the innovative Smart Neighborhood and how energy-efficient heating and cooling, future-focused building techniques and connected technology give owners more control of their home and its features.
