Connected homesI think when I talk about connected homes, people tend to think of things like security systems, locks and lights. If you know you’re building in a flood zone, take every precaution against water and wind. If you’re building in a zone affected by wildfires, stick with materials like a metal roof and flame-resistant lumber. There are permits and steps to take, so as long as they’re built right, I’m going to be cautiously optimistic about it. We’re always developing new building techniques and technology; it will be interesting to see what stands the test of time.
