We're taking 20 members on the Earth Day shuttle for this special Earth Day Lunch & Learn exploring how thoughtful technology integration can enhance sustainability, resilience, and wellness within the modern home.

Hosted at a private show home in Battle Ground, Washington, this interactive session will provide a real-world application of the following:

• Whole-home battery backup and microgrid systems

• Solar integration and energy resilience strategies

• Tunable white lighting that supports circadian rhythm and wellness

• Invisible architectural audio solutions

• Integrated planning approaches that align technology with design intent

You will enjoy a catered lunch while learning how early coordination between builders, designers, and technology professionals can reduce project friction and elevate the client experience.

Following the presentation, we will tour the home in small groups for hands-on demonstrations of the featured systems.

Attendance is limited to ensure an engaging and interactive experience.
