This document discusses new home trends and buying a new home. Some key trends include open floor plans, multi-generational suites, outdoor living spaces, first floor masters, craftsman exteriors, and functional kitchens. New homes are built to higher standards with better energy efficiency, building codes, and safety features. However, some misconceptions about new homes include that used homes are always cheaper and new homes are not built as well as in the past. Buying new provides value over the long-term in utilities, maintenance, and upgrades.

This presentation was made at the Future of Work Seminar held as part of the 2015 Vivid Ideas Festival. http://www.vividsydney.com/futureofwork
The topic is the City as a Campus and explores the role that technology is playing in blurring the boundaries between the home, workplace and cities in which we live and work.
Technology has become ubiquitous and the expectations for it's use are everywhere. There is however, a distinct difference between people and companies and not all technology is applicable in every environment. What is important, is to take the time to understand your stakeholders requirements and to identify what technologies are meaningful and will add value to your workplace environment.
Out Go The Lights: An enlightening discussion of IoT automation security By D...EC-Council
Regularly we see the Internet of Things (IoT) automated lighting solutions being overlooked when it comes to security. Often this is facilitated by statements such as “it’s a light bulb what is the worse they can do, turn my lights out”. In this presentation we will have an in-depth discussion on IoT lighting automation ecosystem security. Discussing topics including: The security implications of lighting automations vulnerabilities, the impact of migrating insecure IoT technologies into the enterprise work place, and what are the best practices we can leverage to reduce the risk and impact of these technologies within our enterprise environments.
This eBbook provides you with a better understanding of integrated home systems. This edition has been completely revised and updated, and extended with an additional chapter on heating controls.
Overview of Chapters
1. Definition
People can be at cross purposes when talking about integrated home systems, and can actually be talking about different things. In order to avoid mistakes, confusion and abuse, we endeavour to define the term “integrated home systems” here. We will analyse the key words of the definition and give practical examples. We will also look at why it is now, and not 30 years ago or in 30 years’ time, that we want to use integrated home systems. We will discuss the difference between integrated home systems and building automation, and we will present the argument why we prefer not to use the term “home automation”.
2. Functions
It should be clear that the installer has to provide added value before he can call it an integrated home system. To do this, he has to start with the needs of the people living there. The integrated home system functions implemented in one home will be of a different nature to another, depending on who occupies it. Young people with small children have totally different needs as opposed to elderly couples whose children have long since left home.
3. The Systems File
Every installed integrated home system must be accompanied by a file. This file will not only be used for the acceptance, but also as a working instrument for the installer. A working instrument that will not only prove its worth during inst allation, but also during the after-sales service.
4. Technical Examination
This chapter discusses where the system intelligence is located, the topology and the media of the installation. We also devote attention to the components of an IHS system and touch on various safety issues. In the final section, we discuss several installation techniques and provide some handy tips for installing an IHS system.
5. Structured Cabling
The expansion of the various networks in the home is enormous. It is therefore obvious that we are looking for solutions for dealing with such network cabling in the home in a well thought out way. In this chapter, we will discuss a few practical examples and smart solutions. We will see that the flexibility (the adaptability) of the installation will play an important role. Read this chapter on Structured Cabling.
6. Controlling Heating with IHS
In this chapter of the Integrated Home Systems course we will first look at the basic characteristics of a central heating system. We will then examine control via IHS. With the help of this chapter you should be able to enter into a conversation with the heating specialist. On the one hand, the purpose of that conversation will be to build a relationship of trust between both parties, and on the other to gather the necessary information (for both parties) to achieve a sound integration.
IOT Home Automation - Low cost and foss powered #BCHH16Niklas Grebe
I talked at the Barcamp Hamburg 2016 about home automation in my flat under the constrains of low cost and using free software and open hardware.
My linklist can be found here:

Home automation systems provide a centralized control and monitoring function for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), lighting and physical security systems. The central control panel and various household devices such as security sensors and alarm systems are connected with each other to form a mesh network over wireless or wired communication links and act as a “smart home”. As you arrive home, the system can automatically open the garage door, unlock the front door and disable the alarm, light the downstairs, and turn on the TV. According to a study by the consulting firm AMA Research, in 2011, the UK home automation market was worth around £65 million with 12% increase on the previous year. The total number of home automation system installations in the UK is estimated to be 189000 by now. The home automation market in the US was worth approximately $3.2 billion in 2010 and is expected to exceed $5.5 billion in 2016.
Zigbee and Z-wave wireless communication protocols are the most common used RF technology in home automation systems. Zigbee is based on an open specification (IEEE 802.15.4) and has been the subject of several academic and practical security researches. Z-wave is a proprietary wireless protocol that works in the Industrial, Scientific and Medical radio band (ISM). It transmits on the 868.42 MHz (Europe) and 908.42MHz (United States) frequencies designed for low-bandwidth data communications in embedded devices such as security sensors, alarms and home automation control panels. Unlike Zigbee, no public security research on Z-Wave protocol was available before our work. Z-wave protocol was only mentioned once during a DefCon 2011 talk when the presenter pointed the possibility of capturing the AES key exchange phase without a demonstration.
The Z-Wave protocol is gaining momentum against the Zigbee protocol with regards to home automation. This is partly due to a faster, and somewhat simpler, development process. Another benefit is that it is less subjected to signal interference compared to the Zigbee protocol, which operates on the widely populated 2.4 GHz band shared by both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi devices.
Z-wave chips have 128-bit AES crypto engines, which are used by access control systems, such as door locks, for authenticated packet encryption. An open source implementation of the Z-wave protocol stack, openzwave , is available but it does not support the encryption part as of yet. Our talk will show how the Z-Wave protocol can be subjected to attacks.
Extending the current Internet and providing connection, communication, and inter-networking between devices and physical objects, or "Things," is a growing trend that is often referred to as the Internet of Things.
“The technologies and solutions that enable integration of real world data and services into the current information networking technologies are often described under the umbrella term of the Internet of Things (IoT)”
This is the first presentation of my Final Year project done(doing 2015-16) as part of fulfilling my B-Tech degree in CSE from Govt. Engineering College Sreekrishnapuram, Palakkad, Kerala, India.

Market Research on the buying behavior of customers towards refrigerators Bharat Singh
While putting up all our gray cell to decode this mystery of how does a customer buy any Refrigerator , what all thoughts hover in his mind , how he draw the rational conclusion .
we conducted a survey in the sample size of 40 people and deduce an interesting fact that there exists a strong co-relation between Family- capacity and Income group-parameters.
It becomes evident that status of family lay great hold on the buying behavior , Nuclear family tend to buy lower capacity preferable till 200 lit , which is as per their need. But Nuclear families with higher income will sometime go for higher capacity .Here one more interesting finding that single people look for lower capacity , but they have to live with available sizes in the market .Arrange families look for higher capacity fridge of around 600+
Higher income group of people are very particular of the available parameters. There buying most of the time depends on the determinants like rating , cool pad , or other distinguishing features.Hence we concluded that Segmentation is on 3 factors
Capacity , Parameters and Income group.

94. Top Misconceptions about Buying New
“It’s cheaper to buy a used home than a new one”
• Your customers are often times buying a
used structure with outdated design/
building techniques, appliances, windows,
insulation etc.
• Total cost = purchase price + monthly
utilities + capital improvements+
maintenance

• No, we build them better!….Engineered
structure which is stronger, tighter and
better designed.

lumber in many areas because old growth
wood is not available

Sq Ft is meaningless
• Do you buy cars by the pound?
• Floor coverings and siding/roofing material
decisions alone can make a $10-$15 per sq.
ft. difference
97. Options and Upgrades are Dirty Words

a restaurant-
– They don’t make you buy the wine, soup, salad
and dessert if you don’t want it.
• Everyone wants a choice
98. Today’s Homebuyer buys a
home solely on price.
• Do people buy a brand new home based on
price or value?
• The answer is simple. Overwhelmingly, a new home is
bought emotionally – based on the value rather than price
– because of the consumer's perception of reality. What
has value in their eyes is where they'll spend their money.
100. “It’s more work/ too complicated/The
buying process is confusing”
• It can be. That’s why you need to be an
expert and do your homework.
101. • Explore Design/Build

Homearama home shows
• Find a few builders or site agents that you
are comfortable with. Take the time to get
to know them or coach them to improve.
102. “It is too expensive to custom build”
• We can build to any budget, that’s why they
call it custom.
103. Factors in getting people to move
• Current Dissatisfaction- there is a built up
demand and there’s a stronger urgency to purchase
today! Salespeople need to realize and understand
the dissatisfaction curve.
• Future Promise- engage them, get them involved
emotionally, get them to see the future promise
• Cost and Fear- holds people back.
• Which factor gets in the way of a sale?
104. People will buy when….
Current dissatisfaction
X
Future Promise
>
Cost/Fear
105. • What they do want is a new lifestyle that doesn’t
include the aggravation, expense and emotional
turmoil that usually accompanies a cheaply priced
home.
• Simply stated, they want a better life in a new home
and you can give it to them.
• Show them that your new homes coupled with
exceptional service can offer them what they really
want and price will not be a hindrance.
