Building Dashboard® display highlighted in Home Theater Magazine
July 1, 2007
New York, NY - Lucid Design Group's Building Dashboard® system for the LivingHomes® model home is highlighted in a Home Theater Magazine article titled "Ab Fab Prefab: Technology and green living converge in the LivingHome." From the article:
"If you've ever traveled behind a Prius driver in the carpool lane, you know how much they love to monitor the car's gas-consumption dials. The LivingHome has a similar feature: The environmental-dashboard software program provides continuous feedback about the home's energy consumption, water consumption, financial savings, and even how much carbon you've averted."
Lucid Design Group's resource use display is intended to enhance homeowner awareness of the benefits of green building. A multi-use media screen in the living room and a touch-screen in the kitchen display energy consumption and solar electricity production from the roof-mount photovoltaic panels in real-time.
LivingHomes® is Lucid's partner, a leading developer of modern prefab homes designed by world-class architects, and the first company to make LEED® certified, prefab homes available to consumers nationwide.
