3 Notable Moments of 2022

It’s the start of a new year, and like many individuals, companies set new goals and resolutions for the year ahead. It is also a time to reflect on the past year and to think about what went well, where we could have improved and what we are most proud of. Below is a list of our most notable moments of 2022. 

 

Award-Winning Installations

We are always striving for continued excellence and want to stay “ahead of the curve.” Together with our industry partners, many of whom are leaders in their respective trades, we want to create projects that stand out from the rest.

As members of the Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Fairfield County (HBRA), we were thrilled to learn we were awarded the HOBI for Best Home Technology again this year. The winning home has a fully integrated Savant control system, but what makes this project especially noteworthy is it demonstrates a unique approach to lighting design and control.  We were able to successfully combine conventional architectural recessed lighting with modern recessed linear LED strip lighting, perimeter lighting and decorative shelf and closet lighting throughout.  Everything works together in concert to provide a warm and unique living space.   We had the opportunity to collaborate on the final lighting design with a talented veteran lighting designer from the UK who specializes in cutting edge fixture choices and the application of recessed linear lighting, providing us with the opportunity to utilize these two distinct styles elegantly within the same spaces. 

in addition, InnerSpace Electronics created the entire landscape lighting design and landscape fixture package. In our years of designing and providing innovative lighting and control solutions, this is the most interesting lighting design we have had the opportunity to work on.

 

Showroom Now Open

When we moved into our new office, the goal was to turn our space into a working showroom and demonstration space. All our technology, including our lighting processors & main equipment rack, is on display so industry partners & potential clients who visit the showroom can see exactly what we are including in our proposals. The entire space is outfitted with various types of in-wall, in-ceiling & in-room speakers, LED lighting fixtures, a lighting control system, an integrated control system, smart thermostats, video displays & surveillance cameras. We have a ‘lighting lab’ installed in our conference room which is set-up with a video conferencing system. We also have a certified Ketra showroom, one of the only showrooms in our area. Once we received the official certification from Lutron, we couldn’t wait to show off our new space and hosted two events for the design build community. Both events were structured so there was an educational component, demonstrations, and networking. The events were a success, and we look forward to hosting many more in the new year.

 

 

Dealer Status Updates

Once again, we were recognized as a Diamond Elite Dealer with Lutron based on our sales volume. A Diamond Elite Dealer must meet volume requirements over $750K within a fiscal year. To achieve this volume, our entire team needs to know, understand & be proficient in their entire product line from lighting processors to keypads to motorized window treatments.

As Savant dealers for many years, we continuously maintain their requirements to meet the high standards of a Platinum dealer. We are also proud to be a Savant Ambassador which means we lead with Savant as our integrated platform, we have adopted the Beta software & we have met all minimum spends in the categories of Audio/Video/Speakers, Energy/Lighting/Shades/Climate and Hosts & IU’s.

 

One thing we can look back on and take away from 2022 is the importance of strengthening our partnerships with the design-build community. Technology is always changing, and our partners look for us to be the expert on the latest offerings. It is so important that we continue to put an emphasis on continuing education and maintaining our strong vendor relations.

As we look ahead into the new year, we have ambitious goals that include more educational events both in our own space and utilizing vendor showrooms. We are also looking forward to attending more industry events to stay “in the know” about all the latest innovations in the home technology space. Thank you to all our industry & vendor partners and our clients for a successful 2022 and we wish everyone a happy, healthy & prosperous 2023!

 

 

A Smart Home is a Healthy Home

Luxury living is grounded by excellence in comfort, security, beauty, and design. Yet, while we focus on the “things” in our lives, the most important aspect in our lives is often overlooked: our health and well-being. We are excited to announce our partnership with Delos, the Pioneers of Wellness Real Estate, to transform homes into a responsive wellness ecosystem that helps enhance your health and well-being.

DARWIN Premier by Delos was developed after 8 years of intense research about the effects of our environments on our bodies. These effects included how our environments influence our moods and energy levels to how well we sleep and how productive we are throughout the day. DARWIN Premier can help reduce indoor pollutants that can negatively affect respiratory, cardiovascular, immune, and cognitive health.

Air Purification

Clean air is essential to our health and respiratory comfort. However, indoor air quality can be up to 5 times worse than it is outdoors. With microscopic particulate matter and allergens infiltrating our homes, and toxins and pathogens habitually emitted from household material and furnishings, indoor air pollution is considered a top five environmental health risk across the globe.

Circadian Lighting

Our body clocks rely on natural sunlight patterns to synchronize our circadian rhythm, which regulates our energy levels, moods, and sleep quality. We spend 90% of our time indoors with artificial lighting that disrupts this natural rhythm. Delos Circadian Lighting simulates the pattern of sunlight to help regulate your circadian rhythm, for enhanced energy, sleep, and overall well-being.

Water Filtration

Clean water is essential for a healthy life. While we often take the quality of tap water for granted, it can contain pollutants such as bacteria, heavy metals, and public water additives like chlorine, which can lead to a spectrum of short-and-long-term illnesses. Delos Customized Water Filtration offers best-in-class technologies tailored through on-site water testing, third party analysis and historical regional data.

Comfort Elements

Indoor environments have had an increasingly negative impact on our overall well-being, with poor sleep quality becoming a public health concern. Inadequate sleep can lead to chronic health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and depression. Delos Comfort Elements integrate architectural details, technological interventions, and design elements to promote mindful living and enhanced sleep.
