CEDIA (the Custom Electronic
Design and Installation Association) will be
promoting the concept of the smart home at
Interbuild, providing visitors with access to a
tailored education programme in one of the core
attractions of Interbuild 2007 (28th October – 1st
November, NEC, Birmingham).
The Association will be running a dedicated seminar
programme within a special Home Automation theatre
located at the heart of the show in Hall 3 every day
of Interbuild. Sessions will cover a variety of
topics, including cabling requirements for home
entertainment and automation systems, the eco home
and a property developer’s guide to residential
technology. CEDIA will also be offering Interbuild
visitors the chance to attend its RIBA CPD course,
“Designing Integrated Future-Ready Homes”.
“Leading Interbuild’s education programme in this
way is part of CEDIA’s drive to raise awareness of
the growing residential electronic systems industry,
its technology and the potential benefits for
architects, property developers and their clients”
says Peter Aylett, CEDIA’s education manager. “CEDIA
members are professional designers, installers and
integrators of systems which embrace the latest TV
and home cinema equipment, multi-room audio,
lighting and HVAC control, home networking and
security, and other systems. If you want electronic
systems in your home, then for a high quality
project, hire a CEDIA member to do it for you. This
is CEDIA’s key message at Interbuild.”
In total, CEDIA is offering four different courses
at the event. ‘Designing Integrated Future-Ready
Homes’ aims to help architects, developers and other
professionals appreciate and communicate the
benefits of home automation, systems integration and
structured wiring to their clients. ‘The Eco Home’
looks at how solutions, such as, intelligent blinds
and lighting can help save energy. It also looks at
ways of controlling heating and air conditioning as
well as monitoring energy usage. ‘Installing a Cable
Infrastructure In The 21st Century’ explains how
installing a cable infrastructure at the design
stage of a build is critical and also investigates
wired vs wireless vs fibre solutions. ‘The Property
Developer’s Guide to Residential Technology’
explains how the public’s perception of technology
enhancing their lives means that technology can be
used as an essential selling point of any
development.
