Project Green AV Review of InfoComm STEP Rating System Draft 1

Congratulations to InfoComm and all in the industry who worked together to create this first draft of the STEP Rating System.  This is exemplary work and a major stride for Green AV.

The STEP Rating System hits on two of the most important topics in Green AV for the future.  First, STEP wisely focuses on the full cycle of equipment, awarding points for re-use, sourcing reclaimed equipment and putting in place environmentally responsible plans for equipment’s end of life (including recycling).

NARRAGANSETT GREEN HOME OPENS FOR PUBLIC TOURS

Ashley Daigneault December 4th, 2009

Narragansett, RI - Green Life Smart Life (GLSL) is excited to announce the official opening of their sustainable local home showcase. Located in Narragansett, RI, the LEED-H project features the state’s first smart meter with a home energy management and monitoring system, geothermal HVAC system, lighting control, whole-home entertainment technology, and other smart home innovations. GLSL will open its doors to the public on December 12, 2009 from 10 am to 5 pm for people to tour and learn about all of the products and technologies installed in the home. The family will announce its LEED-H rating on Thursday, December 10th.

"Homeowners want to make socially responsible buying decisions when it comes to building or remodeling their house, but there are so many resources and so much misinformation,” homeowner Kimberly Lancaster Hageman said. “This is a real home for a real family. It shows how fun and easy it is to make smart decisions and operate a home efficiently without sacrificing comfort, convenience, or original style. Our goal is to show other families how you can make your home high-tech, high-design, and high-efficiency all while being environmentally conscious."

Additionally, in keeping with the holiday spirit, Green Life Smart Life requests that each entrant to the home bring one canned good (or a $3 donation) to be donated to the Johnnycake Center in Peacedale, Rhode Island. The home is located off of Rte 1A in Anawan Cliffs at 1 South Cliff Drive, Narragansett, RI.
