Today’s American dream home consists of all the basics—roomy bedrooms, a large garage, the white picket fence, and, of course, solar panels. These days, buyers want all the latest in green features, including technology to control energy consumption in a home. A number of builders are accommodating this dream today, and are even partnering up with technology providers to increase energy efficiency in the home. In related news, Lennar Homes and GE announced the appliance supplier will be the single-source provider for Lennar. Lennar’s PowerSmart homes give homebuyers an energy-efficient option, with some green features such as programmable thermostats. In the future, these homes will also have GE smart grid-enabled appliances and Brillion technology to give buyers the ability to receive signals from utility smart meters and operate accordingly.
