Green, Beautiful & in Control – Not Just an Eco House w/ Sustainable Architecture

www.control4.com – We’re here in Silicon Valley, home to countless Hi-Tech inventions, so it’s no surprise that we found a house here that is so cutting edge, so environmentally friendly that some people are calling it, “The World’s Greenest Home”… and wouldn’t you know it, a Control4 system keeps the whole house humming. Check it out! Linda Yates (Home Owner) – “This is actually the property that I grew up on. My parents bought the property in 1967 so we’ve been here ever since. We said, ‘we really want to build the most sustainable, the most regenerative house in America.’ So it’s really just four basic materials… it’s glass, it’s steel, it’s wood and it’s stone. On the floor, 150-year-old barn wood… stone that wasn’t actually good enough for somebody else but our guys were so into it that they went and took it out of the bone pile. The whole design of the house with all the roofs and the steel roof is to be able to catch all the rainwater and storm water and then reuse it. We’re putting more green energy back on the grid than we are using. It’s definitely the greenest custom home in America.” “There’s 3 myths we were trying to bust with green building: 1. Was that it was ugly… you had to build a concrete box with no windows. 2. That it was twice as expensive. 3. That you had to completely fundamentally change your lifestyle.” … and those are myths that we have to bust. The technology plays a big role in being able to do that.” Gordon van Zuidon (cyberManor

    Look its a nice house but instead of the steel roof, steel that could have been used for something more purposeful use reshaped rubber tires that would be more economical, more sustainable but if u chose it for asthmatic reasons ok also this myth that green buildings are ugly has been broken for many many years, so the phrase “eco homes are ugly” is redundant, there are countless homes that are zero carbon and are very attractive. Its the price that people do not want to spend

    Glad you asked about the stickies. It’s a GREAT idea employed by this dealer — but we didn’t want to bog down the story by explaining it. Oftentimes clients *think* they know what they want to have pre-programmed as one-touch buttons for keypads, but after living with the technology, they might decide they want something else entirely.

    So before engraving the keypads with a final label, cyberManor suggests that the clients live with the keypads for at least a month with no inscription. After that, they give their “final” answer, and the ‘blank’ keypads are replaced with their final selections.

    She seems more interested in the 100 year old hard woods than the Control4 system. Without labeling on the keypads how would you even know how to use the system……right, that’s what the stickie notes on the wall are for. Stay classy!

    One of the best things about Control4 is that you can achieve the same results whether you are building a new home or retrofitting your current home. It simplifies the operation of your home and it’s technology while paying for itself in energy savings!

    Trainwreck was mentioned on NPR the other day… a stupid guy suggested it influenced him to drive towards some cops & honk the horn & drive badly during a police-sponsored driving test on cannabis in California. I call him stupid because only stupid people drive like that… I’ve used the best & know that it doesn’t force a person to behave so ridiculously bad as that guy did.

    I hate when people water down genetics and market as the clone-only name that is only half of its lineage. Do you have seedstock of OG Kush too?

    Bullshit! Trainwreck is a clone only plant which means they have to cross it with a different father making it a hybrid and not proper Trainwreck. Same with lots of the seeds they sell.
    False advertising unless they managed to turn a female trainwreck into a male to cross it

    In Scandinavia we “roast” the tobacco first which means that you won’t get addicted or sick from the nicotine. I don’t like tobacco very much though, and smoke my pot without it. But most people smoke hashish here, which needs to be mixed with tobacco if you smoke it in a joint.
