On Earth Day, April 22, 2012, Innoventions became home to yet another key attraction: Green Builder Media, North America’s leading media company focused on sustainable living, opened the Vision House, an experiential exhibit aimed at encouraging people to engender sustainable thinking. The main themes include not only energy efficiency, water conservation, and automation of entire homes, but also indoor environment quality, multi-generation design, security and durability.

During the guided tour through the exhibition, visitors learn more about intelligent products and advanced technologies. Leading companies from various industries present ”green” living solutions such as energy-efficient doors and windows, hardwood floors and cabinets, photovoltaic modules, highly efficient heating, ventilation and cooling systems, electric vehicle charging stations, innovative automation systems for the entire house, durable, environmentally friendly outside materials, LED lighting solutions and home appliances that save electricity. All products incorporated into the Vision House are commercially available. These include an environmentally friendly CERAN^® glass-ceramic cooktop panel, which is manufactured without using the heavy metals arsenic and antimony. A ROBAX^® fireplace viewing panel is an integral part of an environmentally friendly appliance and allows for wood to be burned more efficiently, delivering higher heat output and is CO₂ neutral, emitting virtually no fine dust particles.

”We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Disney to demonstrate to homeowners that small behavioral modifications can make big differences in their environmental impact. Our goal with the Vision House is to deliver an inspiring message that makes sustainability personal – to help families ’bring green home’ both literally and figuratively,” explains Sara Gutterman, CEO of Green Builder Media. <
