Magic Happens!

Through the VISION House in INNOVENTIONS, we will not only have the opportunity to educate millions of consumers about sustainable living, but we’ll be able to manifest our corporate mission to effect meaningful, positive change for a better world.

Opening on Earth Day (April 22), the VISION House® in INNOVENTIONS helps guests understand that sustainability is a mindset defined by personal lifestyle choices. By showcasing advanced green products and demonstrating a wide spectrum of cost-effective, sustainable options, the innovative exhibit provides homeowners with real solutions for contemporary green living.

The VISION House® in INNOVENTIONS exhibit will highlight the major themes of whole-home automation, energy generation and efficiency, water conservation, indoor environment quality, security, high-performance materials, durability, and fire protection.

As guests tour the home, they will encounter intelligent products and advanced technologies, such as:
