 NAHB has announced its newest one-day course, Home Technology Integration, as an elective for the Master Certified New Home Sales Professional (Master CSP) designation. The description of this course is as follows:

Clearly, consumers want installed technology to enhance comfort, security, entertainment and energy efficiency in their homes. How you address these needs will differentiate you from your competition. This course provides an overview of what home technology is, trends , how it fits into the construction schedule, the installation process, and most of all…how to get it done right, present it intelligently to your client and make a profit! As a graduate of this course, you will be able to:
• Identify home technology product categories, features and benefits
• Describe methods used to evaluate, select and collaborate with electronic systems contractors (ESCs) and other building industry professionals
• Describe basic installation processes for home technology within new and existing construction
