No Holiday season is complete without the gathering of family around the warmth of the home. This season, it is especially important to make our homes a place where generations can come together to celebrate and reconnect and to understand how economics is driving modernizations in the family home.
The start of a new decade has also been the beginning of a new era for smart home technology. Smart home technology gives us the capability to control our home from any location around the world. This user friendly technology can be used to remotely monitor appliances, integrate security systems into your home system, optimize climate control, and even create music playlists. With every generation, comes a unique perspective and demand on smart home technology.
With current economic times centring on sustainability, modular design is also gaining traction. Modular homes are efficient and cost-effective, as products are factory-produced and transported to the property in individual components. Once they’re onsite, they’re quickly assembled with the assistance of professional crews. The components are also designed to be easily interchangeable and highly customizable, allowing homeowners to upgrade or downsize specific components accordingly.
The modern family home is also getting more technical with the rising popularity of home automation. Smart automation does not only provide convenience in controlling your home’s lights, appliances, and security from a single app, but it can also help save energy by automatically optimizing climate control, lighting, and other power-consuming functions. Coupled with advances in renewable energy technology, this home automation capability is making it easier for homeowners to more efficiently manage their homes’ energy consumption.
The technological revolution in home automation allows family members around the world to stay connected. High-tech services such as remote security monitoring, virtual conversations with family members, and internet-enabled gaming using virtual reality systems can bring family members together in a new virtual reality that bridges physical boundaries.
Overall, no two families experience the holidays exactly the same way. But modern families gathering around the warmth of their homes this holiday season have something in common – the transformation enabled by recent economic and technological advances. Home automation, modular design, and renewable energy options make it possible for homeowners to modernize their homes while creating a space for their family to come together.
